collective entrepreneurs build a strong foundation for a
transformative movement.
This is the economy that our movement
imagines:
democratic institutions
and businesses.
built on solidarity,
not exploitation.
sustainable
and cooperative.
How do we all build this economy?
Our strategy is grounded in three pillars:
01
Organize
We develop and mobilize networks to push forward a democratic economy that aligns us with the need for human solidarity and ecological vitality.
02
Educate
We help collective entrepreneurs and community organizers access the skills and strategies they need to be successful in a socialist economy.
03
Incubate
We support and fund cooperative businesses (and emerging projects) in strategic sectors—accelerating the transition to a more people and planet centric economy.
What makes us think we can
actually make this new
economy a reality?
Well, we’re local actors within a
global movement and we’re already
co-creating this reality.
Globally, it’s a
movement that
trades in
trillions of
dollars annually,
and employs 280
million people.
