Committee on The Political Economy of the Good Society (PEGS)
PEGS is a nonpartisan, ideologically diverse nonprofit organization that aims to promote and coordinate inquiry and discussion both inside and outside of academia regarding possible alternative political economic theories and new institutional designs. PEGS responds to the growing awareness that current versions of socialism and democratic capitalism fail to offer workable visions of a good society that can guide or inspire progress--while their real world reflections seem increasingly to contradict such basic values as liberty, democracy, equality, and environmental sustainability. By encouraging the development of practical visions of the good society, PEGS means to help create the theoretical foundations necessary for the eventual restructuring of real world political-economic systems to better promote and protect these values.

Corporate Agribusiness Research Project (CARP)
The efforts by corporate agribusiness --- the traders, processors, manufacturers, packers, shippers and sellers of the U.S.and the world's food supply --- to remove the culture from agriculture in pursuit of the globalized industrialization of the world's food supply and the education of the consuming public as to who pays and who profits from those activities, are among the many issues which the CARP seeks to target. CARP's goal is to increase public understanding of corporate agribusiness through awareness, education, and action in addition to the importance of building alternative, democratically controlled food systems. Its major objectives are: A) To show community groups why they need to concentrate their efforts on the most significant effects of monopoly control of corporate agribusiness: decline of the family farm system of agriculture, the ruining of local rural economies, job loss, high food prices, unsafe food and environmental devastation. B) To assist rural and urban community groups in understanding the need for corporate accountability and how corporate agribusiness controls their economies by the buying of the raw materials they produce and the selling of the food they consume. C) Educate and mobilize local groups to demonstrate how they can develop their own sustainable, democratic and alternative agricultural systems so they can effectively bypass corporate agribusiness and economically, socially and ecologically strengthen their own local communities

International Rivers Network
IRN is the leading organization working to halt the construction of destructive river development projects and to promote sound river management options worldwide. IRN believes that the crisis facing many of the world's rivers and riverine populations is best exemplified by the continued proliferation of massive hydroelectric, irrigation, water supply, flood control, channelization, and transportation projects. These projects represent an outdated approach to river management which limits public participation in defining river management objectives. The old approach severely restricts access to project information and decisions by perpetuating a bias toward large-scale infrastructure, preempting any significant examination of alternative river and watershed management options. One of IRN's programs is "International Finance": The World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, African Development Bank and Asian Development Bank (as well as other multilateral and bilateral aid agencies and private commercial banks), play a major role in the promotion of inappropriate river development projects. IRN tracks their involvement in these projects, questions their methods, and suggests alternatives. IRN works to influence the policies and practices of these institutions, and assists all interested parties in procuring and interpreting official project and policy documents. IRN works for fundamental reforms in access to information, respect of human rights, commitment to public participation and overall approach to river and watershed management as set forth in the Manibeli Declaration. To reflect the breadth of problems associated with major international lending institutions and the myriad campaigns to either reform or abolish them, IRN produces the newsletter BankCheck Quarterly. The newsletter is distributed to more than 1,500 NGOs around the world.

Social Venture Network
The Social Venture Network has advanced the movement for social responsibility in business and played a role in creating a more just, humane and sustainable society. We've brought together some of the most interesting and thoughtful people on the planet, and created a place where socially conscious entrepreneurs can meet, teach, support, and create new ventures with each other. Relationships formed through SVN have led to business partnerships, support for numerous for-profit and not-for-profit ventures, and perhaps most importantly, enduring friendships. We've supported our members' efforts to seek ecological sustainability and workplace fulfillment, personal and spiritual growth, and social justice, and to find a balance between the three."
