We can work together to build a society that is regenerative, equitable, cooperative, and just.

Those of us with a vision beyond the crisis system of capitalism are gathering to bring forward prospective solutions, promising models, proactive strategies, and proven practices that can help us build a new era. Our focus is on our home region, the Pacific Northwest, a springboard for building a larger movement for change. We are exploring together the (still evolving) goals of:

• Envisioning systems and change models adaptable to regional contexts and local arenas 

• Generating viable plans and strategic programs for action 

• Activating solidarity and agency through collaborative problem-solving, skill sharing, and expression  

• Mobilizing social movement by organizing coordination networks, collaborative tools/platforms, and resource hubs

The transformation is happening.

New Economy, Just Transition, Socialist Economic Democracy, Earth Regeneration, Social Permaculture are some names indicating this movement, among others. How can those of us with a vision of the next system collaborate in orienting humanity toward socio-economic transformation that is regenerative, equitable, cooperative, and just? How can we position a “shock doctrine” response to crisis that moves us toward positive change - a new era of economic democracy and justice - rather than reinforcing the capitalist neoliberalism or fascism responses documented by Naomi Klein as part of the collapsing crisis system?

We invite community organizers and network activators, earth regenerators and transition designers, engaged intellectuals and thought leaders, radical creatives and solutionaries, prosocial artists and healers, freedom dreamers and just futurists, and any who aspire to contribute to constructive change to explore together.
