MOVEMENT-BUILDING WOMEN'S COLLABORATIVE
OTHER WORLDS - The
mission of Other Worlds is to document and educate and about alternative
models of social and economic relations.
Other Worlds is a women-driven, multi-media

and knowledge that another world is possible, and helps build it. We compile
and bring to light political, economic, social, and environmental alternatives
that are flourishing throughout the world, and inspire and help the public

Other Worlds knows the power
of cross-fertilization of information, experience, strategy, and
networks. We have seen how collaboration can help birth and build
movements of people directly impacted by the problems and their allies, and how
it can increase their effectiveness.
Our program includes:
1) Documenting,
together with social movements, cases of thriving economic, social,
and environmental alternatives that are flourishing around the world
- with an emphasis on gender;
2) Creating multiple media and
educational materials for extensive outreach throughout the
Americas, in English and Spanish. We share concrete models,
strategies, and lessons for work at home, and imperatives for just
national and global economic policy;
3) Inspiring action.
In partnership with movements and community groups, we help people become
active for just structural alternatives in their own communities and
sectors. We connect them with organizations (and organizations with
each other), grassroots campaigns, policy initiatives, other strategies, and
resources; and
4) Generating support
for the alternatives and the movements behind them. We campaign,
fundraise, and promote the movements we feature and others who share the
vision.
