Community Economic Defense Project is a nonprofit organization that helps communities build economic resilience and self-determination in the face of displacement, extraction, and instability. It produces research, training, toolkits, and technical-legal assistance to support community-controlled institutions such as cooperatives, community land trusts, mutual aid networks, and local public ownership. The project works with organizers, policymakers, and neighborhood groups to design practical strategies for defending jobs, housing, and local markets while creating alternative financial and governance models. Services include workshops, policy advocacy, and hands-on support to implement community-led economic systems.
