Our Goal

We're working to make our society more contributist than capitalist.
What does that look like?

What we do

We strategically work towards our goal by taking action on a few fronts:

Contribute to our own communities
Meet regularly to deepen our understanding and further our practice
Make, print, and distribute local contributist zines
Read and write our journal, The Contributist Reader
Commit ourselves to contributist consumption
Advocate for contributist business practices
Advance contributist policy in our local communities

Getting started

The first steps we recommend to anyone who is curious about our project:

Show Up at a local or remote contributist meetup.
Commit to being a contributist consumer.
Learn about contributism and how to give better. Read a local zine, the intro to contributism series, and our declaration.
Give to those around you. Take an intentionally contributist orientation in your life and relationships.
