Collaboration Stories
How JEI Fellows are working together to shift capital, power, and possibility
Most change-makers are working in silos: limited by constrained resources, separation, and the belief that they have to navigate challenges alone. The Just Economy Institute exists to change that.

In fact, 93% of Fellows report collaborating with one another. These Collaboration Stories highlight what becomes possible when they do.
