Center for Economic Democracy

Center for Economic Democracy (CED) envisions a world repaired and liberated from systems that extract and hoard wealth, in favor of sharing collective power, owning and governing our resources together.

We bring together stakeholders to democratize economic power. We organize and build local coalitions, creating new models of economic democracy while working trans-locally to strengthen the broader solidarity economy movement. CED also educates and inspires community organizers to build a world beyond racial capitalism, and we move funds to frontline organizations led by working class BIPOC communities.
