Non-Profit - N/A, N/A, us
Solid State establishes and nurtures co-operative enterprises. Each of these co-operatives takes its own trajectory, eventually becoming semi-autonomous as part of the Solid State network.THERE ARE THREE CORE RATIONALES FOR OUR WORK:We are trying to articulate new narratives around newcomers and racialized migrants, especially youth.We are addressing the endemic lack of opportunity and mobility for marginalized and migrant youth through the co-operative movement, especially workers' co-ops.We are building a constructive approach to addressing community safety and issues of youth alienation. All too often sensationalist media exercises demonize migrant youth and their communities. We are not suggesting, that newcomer youth are more responsible for crime and violence (this is demonstrably untrue), but the issues of crime and community safety are very real and have disproportionate impacts on newcomer youth and families. We are building a positive narrative focused on the skills, creativity and hard work of youth.
