Dear Michel,
Across the planet, grassroots initiatives are building systems that offer hopeful alternatives to our extractive, growth-dependent economy. The power of these projects lies not only in their local influence but in global connections of support, guidance, and encouragement.
Despite our varied focuses and approaches, #postgrowth provides an overarching concept to challenge the dominant paradigm. Setting aside our differences and united by a shared sense of where our evolution needs to go, we're starting to relax into supporting each other.
For the Support edition of Full Circle, we introduce the Post Growth Alliance, our cooperative social media service that saves member organizations time and money while increasing their exposure. Find out how to join the PGA family, learn about one of its members, and meet one of our long-time volunteers – part of a community of activists dedicated to helping us shift the worldview.
As we weave a rich tapestry, closing the space between us enhances our strength. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Thanks for your support,

Meet PGI volunteer, Sarah Riebstein
A PhD candidate at Princeton University, Sarah researches universal basic income and the Alaska Permanent Fund’s resource dividend model. As an activist, she works with us on refining and spreading our vision of a not-for-profit economy – including a stint managing the PGA. Here she shares a little about what it's like to work with the PGI.

"We can bring our whole selves to the work we do at the PGI. There is a focus on highlighting the passions and strengths that each of us bring to the table, ensuring we're each contributing in ways that are most beneficial to the organization and ourselves. We also make space for sharing if circumstances in our lives might be negatively impacting us – something that I find is particularly missing in many other environments, where personal difficulties are often swept under the rug."
Meet the whole PGI team.
