Beloved Community Incubator helps workers and communities in DC, Maryland and Virginia build economic power through cooperative business ownership, network-based support, and access to non-extractive capital. We support and equip workers in order to organize a regional solidarity economy that centers a livable planet and people — especially poor and working class immigrants and people of color — over profit.

Our work is rooted in Dr. Martin Luther King’s vision of the Beloved Community — one where people and communities engage in the work of building a just, peaceful world together through nonviolent, democratic collective action. We’re proud to be part of DC's rich history of cooperatives and community power building. 

We've spent the last ten years working closely with workers and cooperatives in DC, Maryland, and Virginia to build a regional solidarity economy. Learn more at belovedcommunityincubator.org.
