After Times
The 1st R - Rebel With a Cause: With the crisis in our current social, political and economic systems accelerating, it is important to envision what comes next.
Who Can Join
The 4th R - Reorganize Yourself: we use legal and financial structures which focus on meeting the needs of people and the planet.
The organizations we accept must be organized around financial and legal structures that benefit people and the planet over profit. We recognize that some of the current structures do not fully align. This is a list of acceptable structures and we recognize others may exists. If you want to see if your organization qualifies, contact us through our Member or Affiliate forms.
Social Impact 501(c)3
What might traditionally be called a non-profit in the US. We prefer Social Impact as we recognize value beyond profit.
Worker Cooperative
Worker cooperatives operate for the benefit of the workers who are produce a surplus. This surplus is distributed amongst the workers and the community.
Consumer/Member Cooperative
Consumer/Member cooperatives are operate for the benefit of the community. The community members have access to the products/services at a lower rate than the general public.
