2026 Strategic Partner Information & Invitation
Building Emotional Liberation Through a Cooperative Solidarity Economy
If you haven’t had a chance to check out the back story and invitation to the The Collective Feels, be sure to read it here. I am so happy to share that The Collective Feels is entering a new phase in 2026. We are intentionally moving toward a cooperative solidarity economy model where practitioners, organizers, creatives, educators, and institutions co-create emotional liberation work rooted in care, sustainability, and shared stewardship.
We envision a world where Black, Indigenous, and brown people are seen, supported, and treated as fully human — emotionally, culturally, and collectively.
Our mission at the The Collective Feels is to create spaces, tools, and shared practices that support emotional expression, identity exploration, and collective care — so all people can live into their full humanity together.
Partnership Opportunity
In 2026, The Collective Feels will operate as a for-profit cooperative solidarity economy, prioritizing shared value, participatory decision-making, fair compensation, and community benefit.
We welcome partnerships to achieve the following offerings:
• Unique content for online publication. We will offer up to 26 paid article opportunities for unique content that is not created through artificial intelligence. We prioritize this type of content because we believe the process of writing is a part of our collective liberatory journey.
• Curated in-person or hybrid experiences. We will co-host at least four experiences with partners across the world. These experiences must be grounded in the principles of cooperative economics and mutually beneficial for all who are engaged.
• Community directory. We will use our platform to bring visibility to practitioners, products, and services using a solidarity model that shares resources within our community directory. This is not a listing opportunity. It is an invitation to support others who are working toward collective liberation.
• The Collective Feels Toolkit. We will produce a guide that documents our efforts and experiences throughout 2026 so that others who want to build similar economies and communities can learn from our experiences.
If this sounds aligned to work you intend to steward in 2026 and you are interested in partnering, please complete this brief application to get started.
