After centuries of extracting natural, labor, and cultural resources, the profit-driven extractive economy is severely undermining the life support systems of the planet. Transition is inevitable. Justice is not.
Our work is situated within the Just Transition framework. Just Transition is a framework for a fair and sustainable systems shift from an old extractive economy to a new regenerative economy that is fair and just.
We believe in regeneration for the world we live in and for our movements, where...
...we can thrive and grow as whole people/
...our organizations and people are healthy and thriving.
...people, communities, planet are healthy and balanced.
Unfortunately, our current economy is rooted in extraction. Our shared natural, human, and cultural resources have been decimated, and we’re in trouble. We are in transition to some kind of different economy, but will it be a just one and will everyone get to benefit?
Building communities and movements that can live out and create a just and regenerative economy is our path forward, where people most-affected by decisions about their world are making them.
We must challenge the logic of extraction that have become so ingrained in our [movement] culture, with regenerative tools, organizations, and relationships we create NOW that reflect the future we are working towards.
An economic transition is inevitable. Justice is not.
