Overview
Nearly 50 years after the rise of unfettered markets, too many Americans are living without the basic stability, freedom, and dignity they deserve. It is time to think about how the U.S. can reorder its economy to deliver on the promise of economic stability for all. In partnership with other progressive organizations, the Economic Security Project will host a summit to convene thought leaders, policy experts, and organizers who share a vision for a post-neoliberal economy that serves every American. The summit will strengthen relationships and trust among participants, creating a collaborative environment where people can stand shoulder to shoulder to forge a path forward for a post-neoliberal economic worldview.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of Direct File campaign
The Economic Security Project has been at the forefront of work to ensure that the tax system successfully delivers credits to the low- and middle-income earners (disproportionately in communities of color) that need them most. This grant supports the group’s messaging and outreach work around the IRS’ Direct File pilot. (Substrategy: Executive Branch)
for support of the Bold v. Old conference
The economic governing concept of neoliberalism — unfettered markets, stifled democracy, and the bootstraps myth — is on its way out. The big question is what will replace it: a worldview embracing a multiracial democracy and economy that works for everyone or a racist, sexist, antidemocratic system that fails us all. In order to make sense of this time of fractious, divided government, the Economic Security Project will reconvene the Bold v. Old gathering, last held in 2019, with the aim of solidifying consensus around what worked and what levers exist to expand opportunities for big structural changes to the economy.
for support of the development and expansion of Next River
The nonprofit Economic Security Project will support the development and expansion of Next River, a project it fiscally sponsors. Part culture change lab, part think tank, and part ecosystem incubator, Next River is an institute for practicing the future. Through research, culture and narrative change, and experimentation, Next River moves conversations, culture, and resources to nourish and elevate the people and communities whose ways of being, doing, and relating can help us build a just, liberated, joyful future.
