At the 1st South African international solidarity economy conference COPAC will launch a grass roots activist guide to build the solidarity economy movement from below. The solidarity economy and movement is an alternative to the top down and financialised BEE led approach to cooperatives in South Africa.
COPAC has supported the call for solidarity with local struggles against neoliberalisation and with the Occupy Wall street movement. In this context it has called on the Minister of Finance to enter a dialogue about the space and role of the solidarity economy movement in South Africa.
