Further resources for you to join us in building the new green economy:
- Resources for Building the Alternative Global Economy -- A detailed list of organizations.
- The Ecologist-- Established in 1970, The Ecologist is the world's longest running environmental magazine. A key player in major environmental campaigns against GM crops, rainforest destruction, climate change and the devastating impact of globalisation, The Ecologist has helped set environmental and green political agendas across the world.
- Rethinking Schools Online -- Schools are about more than producing efficient workers or future winners of the Nobel Prize for science. They are the place in this society where children from a variety of backgrounds come together and, at least in theory, learn to talk, play, and work together. Since its founding in 1986, Rethinking Schools has grown into a nationally prominent publisher of educational materials, with subscribers in all 50 states, all 10 Canadian provinces, and many other countries
- Heartland Labor Capital Network -- The Heartland Network is an association of labor activists, progressive economists and pension experts, and regional economic democracy organizations from the US and Canada. We are working to increase the control of working people over their savings and assets by building a labor/capital investment network that invests union pension fund capital in environmentally-responsible, worker-friendly small businesses that create good jobs in our communities.
- Against Neoliberal Globalization (8/14/01) -- We, two hundred and seventy men and women from social organizations, networks and movements, from thirty-nine countries and from all the continents on our planet, have met together in Mexico -- a nation victim to neoliberalism, but also a land of popular resistances like that of the zapatista indigenous -- in order to analyze the dynamic which continues to follow a globalization of capital that is clearly increasingly at the service of the great economic and political powers.
- Make Your City a Fair Trade Zone -- This project involves working with your local and state governments to adopt policies and resolutions that support fair trade, human rights, environmental sustainability and economic justice. Just as fair trade activists have been fighting the expansion of corporate free trade policies in Congress, we also need to pressure our local elected officials to adopt policies and practices that will help create a more equitable and sustainable world. All the materials you need to start a campaign in your city.
- The Tobin Tax Initiative -- A campaign propagating support behind a small excise tax on all cross-border speculation transactions that will prevent currency devaluation and subsequent financial crises. This measure will also generate substantial income that may be earmarked for sustainable projects.
- A Common Agreement on Investment and Society -- A people's alternative to corporate globalization.
- A New Approach to the Third World Debt Crisis
también en español: Alternativa Para la Crisis de la Deuda
