Try the web version. > > Dear Friend, > > Many exciting things are happening at the New Economy Coalition! We have just hired some fantastic new talent onto our Organizing Team to build on our existing Youth and Student Network, jumpstart our Faith Communities Organizing and launch a brand new Racial and Economic Justice Initiative. > > And we’re re-launching our Youth and Student grants program! Read to the end for more information about that program and how to apply. > > But first, here is the NEC Organizing Team: > Aisha Shillingford > Director of Organizing (Racial and Economic Justice Initiative) > Rachel Plattus > Director of Organizing (Youth and Student Network) > Esteban Kelly > Lead Organizer (Capacity Building and Organizational Development) > Sachie Hopkins Hayakawa > Youth and Student Organizer > Belinda Rodriguez > Youth and Student Organizer > Nicholas Hayes > Faith Communities Organizer > Along with the rest of the staff, the team is looking forward to the opportunity to work with existing NEC member organizations, to help bring new members into the Coalition, and to support people doing the work on the ground to build a new economy. Together, we hope that these programs will help to write a story about a movement led by those who bear the greatest burden at the hands of an extractive economic system—and who have the most to gain from the restorative, democratic economy growing up around us. > > With those goals in mind, we are again issuing a Request for Proposals for young people working to build the New Economy. On a rolling basis, we will be offering small grants (up to $5000) for convenings, projects and campaigns.

This year, we are making funding available to young people on and off campuses, to talk about and get to work building a new economy. > > There are infinite possibilities. Map the solidarity economy in your community; plan a convening on your campus about community reinvestment; develop curriculum or bring in trainers to help with starting cooperatives, time banks or land trusts in your community; envision together what it would look like for your hometown to adopt policies to support an economy based on solidarity rather than extraction. > > Most importantly, we want to hear from you about your ideas.
