New Economy Week is October 13-19

The 2nd Annual New Economy Week is a nationwide event organized by the New Economy Coalition that is an opportunity for people to explore what it would take to build the economy we need, one that works for people, place, and planet.

Online discussions and in-person events will take place from October 13-19. Two are happening in the Greater Philadelphia area next week:

Philly Co-op Monthly Happy Hour

Philadelphia area co-operators will gather for a casual happy hour hosted by the Philadelphia Area Cooperative Alliance at Fergie’s Pub, 1214 Sansom St, on October 16 at 5:30 pm. The happy hour will be an opportunity for the whole co-op community to get to know PACA Board candidates before the election as well as meet the new PACA executive director, Peter Frank. 

PACA will also host it’s first annual membership meeting on November 15.
