The Interdependence exists to make visible and support people and organisations who are practising community economies worldwide.
Organisations, initiatives and people affiliated to The Interdependence add the abbreviation idt. to their name, to signal at a glance that they perceive themselves as interdependent with others, and as part of a larger movement to create economies that have the well-being of people and the planet at their core.
The Interdependence aims to reveal the scale, solidarity and reach of practices who recognise our fundamental and inescapable interdependence. Members of the alliance strive to put ethically negotiated relations in practice as they make a living for themselves, provide for others, and receive a living from others in times of climate breakdown, biodiversity loss and continued struggles against oppression.
