Resources from our Network

Creative Interventions Toolkit

This Toolkit promotes an approach called community-based interventions to violence or what some call community accountability or transformative justice as a way to break isolation and to create solutions to violence from those who are most affected by violence – survivors and victims of violence, friends, family and community. It asks us to look to those around us to gather together to create grounded, thoughtful community responses.

A New Social Contract

National Economic and Social Rights Initiative recently released A New Social Contract, a series of bold solutions that localities across the United States are advancing, modeling or promoting to reshape our current landscape of inequity towards one that ensures the full range of human rights of all people.

What’s new with NEC?

What capitalism and kings have in common

What we’re trying to do seems downright impossible most days. The system is entrenched. Its “logic” is deep in our culture. A small number of individuals and groups hoard most of the power and the wealth, and use it against us.
