Organizations

Here are some organizations, non-profits, and groups we are happy to see. They're working toward a new society and providing practical alternatives to our current social ills.

Resilient Communities Project

Food Not Bombs
"We believe that charity fails to address the causes of hunger and poverty, and attempts to band-aid the crisis without challenging the institutional structures that create inequality. We attempt to confront and dismantle the power structures of patriarchy, white supremacy, and other forms of domination--in society, in our organizations, and in our own consciousness."
- Chris Crass, FNB

"Food Not Bombs protests a system which fails to give people basic necessities in life."
- Howard Zinn, in the Worcester Phoenix

The New Road Map Foundation

Center for a New American Dream

The People-Centered Development Forum

Center for the Study of Democratic Societies
