Hey Friends,

Some of you may have heard about this book that's coming out soon, but if not, check out the info below for ways to get involved. Peace, Emily

The new Moral Economy Project website explains its history and Quaker connections. Our book, written by an international Quaker team, Right Relationship: Building a Whole Earth Economy (forthcoming 2009) suggests a number of global governance measures to meet the threat of climate change, as well as a radical revisioning of economics to make it serve humanit and the biosphere. But it is an invitation to dialogue rather than a prescription handed down by aging white experts from the developed countries. We deem it essential to listen -- to what youth, women, aboriginal peoples and the cultures/faiths of the entire world need to tell us.

We invite YF and YAF to make suggestions for a worldwide environmental/peace/sustainable development network, and to exchange information about community projects and local actions. An online forum for these exchanges, with possibility for many languages, has been created at http://groups.takingitglobal.org/TMEE. Once you register with this site, you will not only have access to the forum, but also to many other youth groups worldwide (online, face-to-face, local and regional) with similar aims.

Many of you have internet skills. If you have suggestions for improving our networking, using other internet resources, and making the voices of the world heard, please post them on the TMEE forum. We will be delighted to work with you.

You may also contribute to our blog Towards a Moral Economy and to the wiki Building a Culture of Peace. Though intended for Friends, these are open to all people of goodwill.

If you have any further questions or suggestions, please contact Grace at Gra..reveal email..@moraleconomy.org
