Is your head still spinning from the news on aid, tariffs, and other changes transforming the global economy? Finding it hard to square the politics of the moment with the idealism of visionary change-makers?
Join us in the New Economy Action Lab, where we cut through the noise and explore actionable opportunities for to build a more just, democratic, sustainable economy.
In this 2025 launch session, we take stock of the politics and narratives shaping the current moment, and what it means for funders looking to engage. We are joined by Jo Swinson, former leader of the Liberal Democrat Party (the UK’s third largest political party), and current leader of the most important funds and thought leaders in the movement: Partners for a New Economy. Participants can expect to leave this open, interactive conversation with a better understanding of where to find opportunity in crisis, and with practical ideas of how to engage.
We will meet Thursday, April 24 at 9:00am PST | 12:00pm EST | 5:00pm BST for 90 minutes. If you have any questions, please contact Sam Underwood at sam@forward-global.org.
