BUIL DING A MOVEMENT MOVEMENT FOR A JUST AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY
“NEC applies a powerful, pow erful, coalition-building approach to a game-changing vision of the future. The transformational systems we urgently need require numerous parallel and complementary efforts—NEC 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 isn’t working. It poisons our water, air, 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 Faced with interconnected ecological and economic crises, we believe it’s it’s time for deep changes to both our economy and our politics. We We believe it’s it’s time for something new—a new economy. All around the world people 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 convened a network of more than ninety pioneering organizations (see pages 6-7). Working Working together, 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 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 brought together more than 300 young leaders at a ground-breaking convergence in New York City in July 2013. We organized organized the first-ever New Economy Week in October 2013, with over seventy-five events in eighteen U.S. states and two Canadian provin ces.
“None of us can transform the traditional economy into a regenerative economy “None alone. The New Economy Coalition is the most exciting collaboration of the groups who have been leading leading the conversation that I have seen.” seen.” —HUNTER LO LOVINS VINS

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 won’t 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 actions—and the people who made it all possible. We We will also take a look look ahead at the exciting new work work we’ll undertake in the coming year. We We invite you to be a part of this vital effort. We We want to learn from your experience, support your work, and build a just and sustainable future—together. future—together. Sincerely,
Bob Massie President, New Economy Coalition

NEW ECONOMY COALITION
ENGAGING A NEW GENERATION TO LEARN AND TAKE ACTION Year One of NEC’s Campus Network Program
Today’s young people see the crisis in our system—increasing inequality, diminished well-being, and ecological destruction—and 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.

BUILDING POWERFUL PARTNERSHIPS 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 lives—goals 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 NEC’s work. In 2013, we made plans and laid foundations for building a strong network of relationships and projects with key faith-based collaborators. collaborators. We We researched the organizational organizational landscape of faith communities in North America, assessed challenges and opportunities, and refined the focus of our vision for working

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 York University in 2013, in 2014 the New Economy Coalition is bringing together a diverse group of the new economy’s economy’s 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 we’ll 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.

We We have come far in the past year. year. But this is just the beginning. 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 300 300 young leaders from across the United States and Canada. The convergence positioned NEC’s Youth 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.

“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 of the need for focused focused and intentional engagement engagement with low-income communities and communities of color—and 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 myths—from 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.
