Is economic and environmental activism evolving?

From Doughnut Economics to Extinction Rebellion, we sense a growing focus on strategy, narrative-framing, clear demands and follow-through.

The way we organize appears to be changing too. Tired of ‘talk-fests’ that put people to sleep or pit people against each other, groups are embracing sociocratic governance, open space technologies, deliberative democracy, and human-centered design.

One example is the European-based group Reclaim Our Economy. Building on decades of activist learning, they realize that how they treat each other and themselves through their organizing and how they organize are just as important as the direct political interventions they are seeking to galvanize.

Keen to experience this 'new' kind of organizing? You can now register for their Action Camp Coordination Meeting in Essen, Germany, which runs July 26th-28th: https://reclaimoureconomy.org/first-event/
