Overview
Americans are beginning to feel the painful consequences of a historic level of market concentration, spurring public backlash, legal and economic innovation, and grassroots mobilization against monopolies. The Economic Security Project is pursuing a two-year Anti-Monopoly Fund to harness this nascent energy to build a sustained, cross-sector anti-monopoly effort to rein in the power of corporations over our democracy and economy. In concert with other funders and leaders, the Fund will build a robust ecosystem of anti-monopoly actors; catalyze legal and economic research, power-building campaigns, and powerful storytelling; and elevate both established organizations and new leadership alike.

Grants to this Grantee
for Over Zero
Over Zero partners with community leaders, civil society, and researchers to harness the power of communication to prevent, resist, and rise above identity-based violence and other forms of group-targeted harm. It is a fiscally sponsored project of the Hopewell Fund, which manages domestic and international initiatives aimed at advancing public good and achieving equity for all people. This grant supports an Over Zero webinar and public dissemination of best practices with the broader conservation field. (Substrategy: Build the Conditions for Enduring Conservation)
for RAD innovation fund
This grant will support Resources for Abortion Delivery (RAD) to establish an “innovation fund” to surface replicable strategies for ensuring and expanding abortion access at a time when they are severely restricted for millions of women due to the recent overturn of Roe v. Wade. Ideally, this will lead to a reimagining of abortion care, one that reduces overmedicalization while ensuring the highest standards of safety, increases abortion-seekers’ autonomy and agency, compels the public health system to treat abortion as a fundamental health and social need, and greatly expands public and private coverage of abortion.

for a convening on a post-neoliberal economy hosted by Economic Security Project
In partnership with other 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. The goal of the summit will be to strengthen relationships among participants, create a collaborative environment where people can contribute, and forge a path forward for post-neoliberal economic worldview.
