ANNUAL REVIEW 2013-2014

NEC applies a powerful, coalition-building


approach to a game-changing vision of the
future. The transformational systems we
urgently need require numerous parallel and
complementary effortsNEC is where they
come together in a whole that is greater
than the parts.
MICHAEL TOYE

Canadian Community Economic Development Network

BUILDING A MOVEMENT FOR A JUST AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY

OUR
MISSION
The New Economy Coalition
is a collaborative network of
organizations working to build
the movement for a more just
and sustainable future.
For the vast majority of people
on this planet, the old economy
isnt working. It poisons our
water, air, and land, concentrates
resources and power in the hands
of a few, deprives communities
of their agency, and destroys the
ecosystems we depend on. Faced
with interconnected ecological
and economic crises, we believe
its time for deep changes to both
our economy and our politics.
We believe its time for something
newa new economy.
All around the world people
are rolling up their sleeves and
experimenting with innovative
ways of doing business, practicing
democracy, and sharing common
resources. So many strategies that
could transform our economy
are already available, and more

are emerging every day. But new


policies and ideas are only as good
as our will and capacity to bring
them to life.
To take on the old system and build
a new economy, we need a broad,
intersectional, people-powered
movement with values of economic,
racial, and environmental justice
at its core. The New Economy
Coalition exists to build exactly
that. We see ourselves as a network
server, uniting efforts, amplifying
grassroots work, and identifying
opportunities for collaboration,
thus creating a whole far greater
than the sum of our parts.
Already we have convened a network
of more than ninety pioneering
organizations (see pages 6-7).
Working together, we can sharpen
our ideas, reach new constituencies,
broaden support for existing work,
and launch new campaigns. In so
doing, we will move forward rapidly
from imagining a better future to
making it happen.

NEW ECONOMY COALITION

LAUNCHING
THE NEW
ECONOMY
COALITION
A Letter from the President

Over the last few years, our board, staff, and organizational
allies have embarked on an ambitious journey to build the
New Economy Coalition (NEC), a collaborative network of
organizations committed to addressing the structural failings
of our economic system. Together we are bringing together
the individuals and groups at the forefront of advancing a new
economy one that puts people, place, and planet first.
Our organization began when the E. F. Schumacher Society
and the U.K.-based new economics foundation collaborated
to form the New Economics Institute. In 2013, the New
Economics Institute in turn merged with the New Economy
Network to create the New Economy Coalition.
The merger has been a success, establishing a backbone
organization that links creative ideas and people already
working on change.

In 2013 we made great strides:


We launched a New Economy Coalition of
over ninety organizations which has continued
to grow by the week.
We supported student-led teams in convening fourteen
New Economy summits on college campuses across the
U.S. and Canada through the spring and fall of 2013.
We brought together more than 300 young leaders
at a ground-breaking convergence in New York City
in July 2013.
We organized the first-ever New Economy Week
in October 2013, with over seventy-five events in
eighteen U.S. states and two Canadian provinces.

None of us can transform the traditional economy into a regenerative economy


alone. The New Economy Coalition is the most exciting collaboration of the groups
who have been leading the conversation that I have seen.
HUNTER LOVINS
Natural Capitalism Solutions

BUILDING A MOVEMENT FOR A JUST AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY

Our experiments have been met with tremendous energy and


enthusiasm. Our student and youth efforts engaged thousands
of young people. New Economy Week spotlighted dozens of
organizations interested in solutions to rising inequality, flawed
economic models, corrupt democracy, and climate injustice.
Building a new economy wont happen overnight, nor will it
happen as a result of one organization. But here at the New
Economy Coalition, helping to build that movement is what
drives everything we do. In these pages, you will read more
about our actionsand the people who made it all possible.
We will also take a look ahead at the exciting new work well
undertake in the coming year.
We invite you to be a part of this vital effort. We want to learn
from your experience, support your work, and build a just
and sustainable futuretogether.
Sincerely,

Bob Massie

Year One of NECs Campus
Network Program

Todays young people see the crisis


in our systemincreasing
inequality, diminished well-being,
and ecological destructionand
are working toward a new economy
that is just, fair, and healthy
for people and the planet. They
have the energy, passion, and
organizing savvy to carry out this
transformation, and the New
Economy Coalition is working hard
to support their talent and vision.
To help launch and support studentled new economy efforts, our

Campus Network team provided


competitive grants up of to $5,000
to support student-led initiatives.
More than sixty schools in twenty
states and provinces applied with
exciting, detailed, and visionary
proposals. On the campuses of the
fourteen finalists, young people
came together to develop a vision
for a more just and sustainable
economy, and to plant seeds that
could make that vision a reality
at their schools and in their
communities.

I have gained the trust of community members, that allows me to assist in


developing a stronger local economy.

in July 2013 brought together a diverse new
generation of practitioners and organizers
from across the U.S. and Canada to share
strategies, tools, and stories about our work
creating a solidarity economy from the
ground up in our communities and on our
campuses. Through highly participative
workshops and panel sessions, participants
had the opportunity to share ideas and

New Economy Week

Events the New Economy Coalition highlighted


during this exciting week included:
OCTOBER 12

In its inaugural year, New Economy Week


featured more than seventy-five events
across the United States and Canada.
With the support of NEC, groups organized workshops, documentary screenings,
conferences, trainings, actions, and
more. The week earned original coverage
in Truthout, Yes! Magazine, and dozens
of other media outlets.
By calling attention to the thousands
of things people are doing to build the
new economy, New Economy Week
sought to inspire more participation in
this movement and catalyze a national
conversation on the need for deep,
systemic change. Our hope is that it
will become an annual celebration.

WITH FAITH
COMMUNITIES
The Faith Community Network

Faith leaders and congregations have


long been critical forces in strengthening communities, promoting social
justice, and helping people to live
fulfilling, meaningful livesgoals
that align well with the vision of
the New Economy Movement. Faith
communities today are tackling issues
that are key to the new economy,
such as racial and economic justice,
sustainability, fossil fuel divestment,
and socially responsible investment.
These allied interests make faith
leaders, divinity schools, and congregations natural partners and allies in
NECs work.
In 2013, we made plans and laid
foundations for building a strong
network of relationships and projects
with key faith-based collaborators.
We researched the organizational
landscape of faith communities in
North America, assessed challenges
and opportunities, and refined
the focus of our vision for working
alongside them to build a new

economy. Now we are moving forward


on building the faith network program:
Recruiting faith-based
organizations as NEC members

Building a new economy community


of seminaries, divinity schools, and
congregations in multiple faiths
Creating a network for individual
faith leaders

Establishing a Faith Community


Working Group, which will launch
summer 2014.

Working with leaders and congregations in faith communities, we


look forward to increasing their
effectiveness, and ours, in building
partnerships and programs for the
new economy.

NEW ECONOMY COALITION

GATHERING TO SHARE LEARNING


AND BUILD MOMENTUM
In the spirit of our Strategies for a
New Economy conference at Bard
College in 2012, and our reRoute:
Building Youth and Student Power for
a New Economy convergence at New
York University in 2013, in 2014 the
New Economy Coalition is bringing
together a diverse group of the new
economys most energetic thinkers,
practitioners, and newcomers. The
convening serves as a time and place
to share practices, tools, and stories;
highlight achievements; and create an
environment that will strongly propel
existing work and new ideas forward.
The two-part conference includes
an open session over the weekend,
followed by a coalition convention.

The national gathering builds the


New Economy Movement by:
Making space for coalition members
to share learnings.

Initiating new people into the


movement, and encouraging all
participants to develop new skills
and gain new knowledge.
Encouraging participants to think
through problems together.

CommonBound: Moving Together Toward a New Economy.


From June 8-9, 2014 well be holding
the first-ever in-person convention
of the New Economy Coalition. Our
membership is eager to explore
opportunities for collective action,
narrative, and purpose, and our
face-to-face facilitated meeting
will allow this process to accelerate
rapidly. The convention will also
be an opportunity to further democratize the coalition through the
election of NEC board members
by the plenary.

BUILDING A MOVEMENT FOR A JUST AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY

TAKING THE NEXT STEPS TO


CREATE THE NEW ECONOMY
We have come far in the past year. But this is just the beginning. In the coming
months, through the generosity of our donors, the help of our coalition
members, and the hard work of our staff, we plan to:
EXPAND THE NEW ECONOMY COALITION, including recruiting more

groups working with and led by people from low-income communities and
communities of color. We will also deepen our ties to faith-based groups and
grassroots movements for social justice and form issue caucuses and working
groups to define collective actions, share learnings, and coordinate campaigns
to advance the movement as a whole.
Our successful campus
organizing in 2013 culminated in a three-day convergence in New York
City called reRoute: Building Youth and Student Power for a New Economy,
which brought together over 300 young leaders from across the United States
and Canada. The convergence positioned NECs Youth and Student Network to
grow dramatically, expanding the network of young people engaged in building
the new economy, committing to a focus on racial and economic justice,
incubating projects and campaigns led by students and youth, and moving
toward a collective vision for youth leadership in the new economy movement.
DEVELOP OUR YOUTH AND STUDENT NETWORK:

LAUNCH A RACIAL AND ECONOMIC JUSTICE INITIATIVE: Perhaps our

NEC is the prime perch


and meeting spot for activists, thinkers, and planners
who want to engage and
co-create the emerging
new economy movement.
Chuck Collins, Institute for Policy Studies

most important learning from the first year of our youth and student organizing
work was recognition of the need for focused and intentional engagement with
low-income communities and communities of colorand dedicated resources
to support this engagement. We recognize that we cannot speak about building
a new economy without tackling issues of racial and economic justice head-on,
and we are wholly committed to aligning our personnel recruitment, staff and
board development and programming to reflect this fact. To that end, the New
Economy Coalition is launching a Racial and Economic Justice Initiative, a new
organizing program that will enable us to develop more diverse and effective
leadership for building a new economy.
SHIFT THE CONVERSATION TOWARD NEW ECONOMY SOLUTIONS:

The old economy is built on a foundation of mythsfrom the false premise of


infinite growth on a finite planet to the obsession with GDP as our primary
economic indicator. Through educational campaigns, public appearances,
social media, op-eds and more, we are going to leverage the collective power
of our growing coalition to reach new audiences and tell the story of the
movement for economic alternatives.
