Moving to a Fair Economy That Works for Everyone

Most people have heard of maybe five.

There’s a reason for that. These movements grew up in different places, at different times, calling the same ideas by different words. They’ve never had a shared name, a central HQ, or a unified communications budget. Most of them don’t know each other exist.

They all speak different languages and exist in different silos.

I call this The Tower of Babel Problem.

That and The Visibility Gap (they’re not being shared on the news so no one knows they are a diverse ecosystem of solutions all working on our shared problems, and they don’t know how to take action — but you do if you’ve heard Antidote’s new podcast or joined our monthly How to Start workshop).

This list is the start of making them visible to everyone.

A quick note before you scroll. Almost everything here is a movement, not a single organisation. Each one has anywhere from a handful of groups to thousands of organisations operating under its umbrella worldwide. You couldn’t list them all here. Search any of these terms and you’ll find a whole ecosystem of people already doing it, already building it, already proving it works.

In Network Weaving, a vital tool for bringing all these scenes and movements together that we’ll be learning about soon at Connectioning, we see that everything, the economy, is made up of networks of people. And there are two types of networks:

Birds of a Feather Flock Together

Those Close by Form a Tie

This article attempts to map something that is, frankly, very hard to map: Birds of a Feather Flock Together.

People uniting globally over shared interests and passions.

Just like people unite locally over sports, traditions, crafts or other interests.

We’re working on a proper evaluation framework to show exactly how much traction each of these movements has, how fast it’s growing, and what it would take to bring it fully mainstream. Some of these are still embedded in the old systems and are at least partially extractive as keen minds will observe. After all, how can conscious capitalism and ecosocialism possibly exist in the same ecosystem?
