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

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.

What I love about New Economy Week is that it makes visible all of the people,
businesses, and communities that are already working in the New Economy.
The more we can see, the more inspired we will be by the range and beauty of
our common commitments.

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:
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.
