Accounting in a Solidarity Economy @ Hunter College Gallery (450 West 41st Street)  From 2-4pm, drop in for a 15-30 minute introduction to accounting where people matter more than profits. Working with Michael Johnson, a representative from Solidarity NYC, you and others will identify economic activities outside of regular paid work, articulating diverse economies by sharing stories and mapping paid/unpaid labor, market/non-market transactions, private/common property, and private/state infrastructure. This is an exercise in consciousness raising around work and consumption.
