Interested in collaborating with us?

Awesome. We’d love to have you on board. We’re always on the look for new folks to learn from and build this movement with. If you’re interested in being involved, there are a few ways to do so.

Note: we are an informal, volunteer-run activist collective; we do not offer any formal jobs or internships at this time.

• Keep in touch.

  For the lightest level of involvement, sign up for our newsletter! Simply enter your email at the bottom of this page.
  

• Start the degrowth conversation.

  Read about degrowth. Talk about degrowth. Ask about degrowth. Bring it up, again and again and again. Not just to your friends, to your family (though this is great too). Talk to your boss about your company prioritizing something other than profits. Call your congress-person and ask how much value they actually added to the wellbeing of people and planet with that latest tax cut. Be the annoying voice in everyone’s ear saying: Growth is unsustainable. Growth is not prosperity. Growth is not happiness.
  

• Host a teach-in, discussion group or degrowth festival in your city.

  This is a movement that makes sense to so many people, and bringing more and more people into the conversation can be one of the most crucial factors to changing our values culture and making degrowth a reality.
  There are no rules about who can be a degrowther — if you believe in the movement and its values, then it’s yours.
  So go forth, and proliferate the degrowth conversation some more. If you’d like help on starting a discussion group or organizing a degrowth event, get in touch with us!
  

• Organize with us.

  If you’re really into what we’re doing and want to be a part of the core organizing team, we’d love to hear from you. The easiest way to get in touch with us is via email. We don’t bite.

  • Some particular things we’re looking for help on going forward (but feel free to do whatever speaks to you):
    Data security, social media, event organizing, proliferating local discussion groups, creating a degrowth toolkit

• Join a local Degrowth Group.

  We have friends in many places, and so do you.
