As we assess the current state of our world and consider together the elements that are essential to a 'just transition', and ultimately, a just economy, we are called to consider four goals <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001Xp9HOk5_Q8utaMqo_q7CXinq2QOFyjKhtKFpUGc91yl-cYmWitZexm-82aolezJ95AdzOibEiP7j7WT21fi0KUYlhPnk_QwAuHe2JkLP7OQpTw-T6USkv5oQG1fE6q8o2PyxejC-GIlVyYCOBR7EmMWnubLfcLA9bQrwofaRJ1GMKRxinW-32_Rtm6AY10PB4hCgBaa98kU=&c=FPYr_xbSJsVSBQLEcCMDRfrKmwp-EadWsbVL2REZLB4KKZHCYAOPGQ==&ch=dLLhs_AQtet9nt_V_wE6Qv_1q03XlaOTLyXMkp8szTIors654uUN_Q==>: *to decommodify nature, reimagine work, liberate knowledge and democratize wealth. * *This year's Just Giving conference will ask: * - How are nature, work, knowledge and wealth being appropriated for private ends? - How can such enclosures be resisted, and transcended? - How are local, translocal and transnational movements engaging in this work? - How can philanthropy support their efforts? *Daily plenaries will frame our discussions and activities:* *Seeing Beyond More: Towards a Collaborative Commons for the Public Good* On principles and elements essential to an ecological and socially just economy, examining the loss of common rights under "enclosure" to the detriment of the public good. *~ Moderated by Harriet Barlow, Blue Mountain Center.* *Getting to Better: Turning Principles and Vision into Practice* On diverse models and approaches contributing to an emerging alternative economy rooted in notions of cooperative management and collective ownership, in feminist as well as ecological economics, and in the creative and the natural commons.* ~ Moderated by Nikhil Aziz, American Jewish World Service.* *Philanthropy's Challenge: Providing Support Towards Transformational Ends* On noteworthy and significant ways philanthropy can support this work, through an engaged philanthropy commensurate with the times in which we live. *~ Moderated by Stuart Clarke, Towne Creek Foundation.* Plenaries, breakout workshops and other activities on the first two days of the conference will build momentum towards an exciting third day focusing on the role of philanthropy. Your full engagement is therefore extremely important and we ask that participants stay until the close of the conference at 4 pm on Friday, April 10.
