BUILDING A MOVEMENT FOR A JUST AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY
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
1 BUILDING A MOVEMENT FOR A JUST AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY
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
OUR MISSION
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.
2 NEW ECONOMY COALITION
LAUNCHING THE NEW ECONOMY COALITION
A Letter from the President
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
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.
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.
In 2013 we made great strides:
3 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
President, New Economy Coalition

6 NEW ECONOMY COALITION
I have gained the trust of community members, that allows me to assist in
developing a stronger local economy.
MAUREEN JACKSON Appalachian State University/Campus Network Program
ENGAGING A NEW GENERATION TO LEARN AND TAKE ACTION
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 student-led 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.
Building Youth and Student Power for a New Economy
This was the culmination of NECs spring and summer work with youth and students engaged in building a new economy. The three-day convergence in New York City 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 learnings and broaden their understanding of how to harness new economy thinking to bring the changes our society needs.

CELEBRATING THE EMERGING MOVEMENT FOR ECONOMIC ALTERNATIVES
New Economy Week October 12-18, 2013
New Economy Week was an international experiment in collective action. Over the course of seven days last October, thousands of people stood up in their communities and celebrated the movement to build a new economy one that works for the people, planet, and places we love.
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 organ-ized 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.

Events the New Economy Coalition highlighted during this exciting week included:
BUILDING POWERFUL PARTNERSHIPS WITH FAITH COMMUNITIES
The Faith Community Network
Faith leaders and congregations have long been critical forces in strength- ening 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 congre-gations 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:
Working with leaders and congre-gations in faith communities, we look forward to increasing their effectiveness, and ours, in building partnerships and programs for the new economy.
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.

10 NEW ECONOMY COALITION
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.
GATHERING TO SHARE LEARNING AND BUILD MOMENTUM
CommonBound: Moving Together Toward a New Economy. June 6-8, 2014
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 demo- cratize the coalition through the election of NEC board members by the plenary.
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.
The national gathering builds the New Economy Movement by:

NEC is the prime perch
and meeting spot for activ-
ists, thinkers, and planners
who want to engage and
co-create the emerging
new economy movement.Chuck Collins, Institute for Policy Studies
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.
DEVELOP OUR YOUTH AND STUDENT NETWORK: 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.
LAUNCH A RACIAL AND ECONOMIC JUSTICE INITIATIVE: Perhaps our 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.
