The work of Community Enterprise & Solidarity Economy Clinic (CESEC) Director Renee Hatcher and the CESEC Clinic was covered by Resilience, an online community-driven publication, titled: “This Clinic in Chicago Offers Free Legal Aid to Solidarity Economy Groups.” Read an excerpt below:
“Chicago, Illinois, has a rich history of grassroots organizing. Notable examples are the Back of the Yards Neighborhood Council’s efforts to improve local economic and social conditions and the Black Panther Party’s establishment of housing cooperatives and free food, clothing, and medical services. The solidarity economy movement has continued to gain momentum in Chicago. In 2024, a map from the worker-owned ChiCommons Cooperative showed more than 800 solidarity enterprises, co-ops, and mutual aid groups in the city.”
