'''[[The Next System Project]]''' is an ambitious multi-year initiative aimed at thinking boldly about what is required to deal with the systemic challenges the United States faces now and in coming decades. Responding to real hunger for a new way forward, and building on innovative thinking and practical experience with new economic institutions and approaches being developed in communities across the country and around the world, the goal is to put the central idea of system change, and that there can be a “next system,” on the map. https://thenextsystem.org/


'''[[Federation of Egalitarian Communities]]'''  The FEC is a union of Egalitarian Communities which have joined together in our common struggle to create a lifestyle based on Equality, Cooperation, and Harmony with the Earth.

'''Liberty Tree  Foundation    '''The Liberty Tree Foundation for the Democratic Revolution is a nonprofit organization rooted in the belief that the American Revolution is a living tradition whose greatest promise is democracy. In order to help achieve that promise, Liberty Tree works to create a society in which communities and individuals have the desire, skills, and capacity to participate in the vital decisions that affect their lives. Such a society, we believe, is most likely to emerge from a genuine democratic revolution -- one that focuses on deep structural, legal, and institutional change, dismantles oppression in all its forms, and is organized through the transformation of communities, institutions and local governments into conscious agents of democratic change.''' ''' At Liberty Tree, we provide vital support to grassroots campaigns for democratic reform in many areas of American life, and bring those campaigns together to form a united movement for democracy.

[http://TransitionUS.org '''TransitionUS'''] We recognize that the design of our current political economy is no accident, and that moving beyond harmful systems rooted in capitalism, colonialism, militarism, white supremacy, and hetero-patriarchy will require even more intentionality, care, courage, and creativity to build. We are being called to build and share power that allows us to '''nurture thriving and regenerative communities rooted in shared values that center equity, and the well-being of people and place.'''

'''Ashevillage, NC    (Not Working)'''

Our mission is to create community-based, on-the-ground programs, projects and people that foster a vibrant, just, and regenerative world. Our goal is to accelerate the design and implementation of local, nature-based, regenerative systems and thriving community-inspired culture. Our vision is of humanity living by the wisdom of nature in a way that honors and supports life in peaceful, thriving and celebratory cohabitation.

Our programs bring together leading teachers, practitioners, and innovators with participants who want to gain real life skills that can be put into practice in your own lives and communities. Learn more about our programs. Our headquarters is the Ashevillage Sanctuary, a transformed junkyard and crack house turned one-acre, eco-urban, demonstration site, living-learning laboratory and guest house. Our community of Asheville, NC is abundant with people, projects, and initiatives that, together, are creating a dynamically engaged and vibrant place to live (and visit). We recognize the land, rivers, mountains, trees, and other living beings of this region to be the greater community of which we are a part of.

Our guests and participants come from many walks of life, and are based locally, regionally, nationally, and even internationally. Many of you are looking to deepen your skills, visions, paths, and next steps toward creating the world and life you desire deeply. Others are simply curious to check out our scene. Whatever your reason for connecting with us, we applaud you, are inspired by you, and dedicate much of our work to be in service to you. Please come visit, participate, share, and take the leap toward being all that you can be in this world — it is calling you! ::http://ashevillage.org/::

'''Grassroots Economic Organizing (GEO)''' is a decentralized collective of educators, researchers and grassroots activists working to promote an economy based on democratic participation, worker and community ownership, social and economic justice, and ecological sustainability--a "solidarity economy"--through grassroots journalism, organizing support, cross-sector networking and movement-building and the publication of educational and organizational resources. ::http://www.geo.coop/::


'''Common Future        ::https://www.commonfuture.co/<nowiki/>::'''

Generations of Black and Indigenous communities and other communities of color have intentionally been—and currently are—locked out of wealth and power. Centuries of policies that systematically favor a select few cause persistent economic inequities that hold us all back. We must restore power to communities across lines of difference to model and build a future in which we all thrive.
