How do we differ from the NEIC (New England Independence Campaign)?
Unlike the NEIC, we are not focused on Independence. While it is one of our goals, we believe that creating stronger states and a more self-sufficient region is not only more attainable, but entirely necessary before secession is something that could ever be a possibility.
The NEIC instead, aims for secession while they are entirely focused on championing social causes. They do not advocate for legal changes, nor do they focus on long term political strategy; rather, they focus on protests and marches for various social issues. While they would support legal changes if they were proposed, they are not organized with a goal of actively working towards them.
Our organization is, in contrast, focused on strengthening state powers, agencies, and rights, and building up our regional economies and infrastructure so that not only is secession a possibility, but we can do it without significant reliance on foreign aid. - That being said, we strongly believe that regardless of secession, increasing state and regional autonomy is necessary for future economic, social, and political prosperity.
Part of this is through creating new companies, part of it is partnering with existing groups like unions, and part of this is through proposing ballot initiatives.
