A planetary network for a life-centered economy.
Why a network
Big change starts with people who trust each other.
No new economic system can be imposed from above. It has to be grown, tested and trusted by the people who live in it.
AYU is where that growing happens: a place to meet, to work on shared projects, and to show at human scale what an economy designed around life can feel like.
AYU is not a platform you use. It's a network you help build.
What members do
Four ways the network comes alive.
Membership is the beginning, not the end. Here's how members shape the network and the economy it's working toward.
Join
Anyone who shares the mission can join. Tell us who you are, where you are and how you'd like to contribute, and become part of the network from its earliest days.
Collaborate
Find people working on the same questions, from local food, housing and care projects to research, design and technology, and build things together across borders.
Establish trust
Every economy runs on trust. In AYU it's built directly between people, through real relationships and shared work, rather than outsourced to banks and credit scores.
Build and test
Members help design, test and improve the tools and agreements Creditism will need: starting small, learning openly and growing what works.
Who it's for
Everyone who believes the economy should serve life.
You don't need to be an economist. Curiosity and goodwill are enough, and every kind of experience has something to add.
Neighbors and families
Anyone who wants a fairer, kinder economy for the people they love.
Farmers and makers
People who grow, build and repair the things we all depend on.
Builders and technologists
Engineers and designers who can help create trustworthy tools.
Researchers and economists
Thinkers ready to test, challenge and strengthen the ideas.
Organizers and educators
People who bring communities together and help ideas travel.
Artists and storytellers
Creators who help the world imagine what could be.
How it grows
Emerging, by design.
AYU is in its early days, and that's the point. Joining now means helping decide how the network works, not just using it.
