Building an economy for the People and the Planet

Come join us at the first Festival of Grassroots Economics where together we will be celebrating and creating together a new economy for the people and the planet.

Meet people working together to grow food in the city and bicycle mechanics teaching basic skills. Discuss worker cooperatives with members of new and established co-ops. Meet tenants organizing to own housing collectively, see demonstrations of renewable energy and greywater installations and talk to people organizing to share resources through timebanks. Learn how to work for a peoples’ globalization through Fair Trade practices. And see many more projects.

The festival is a bottom-up trade fair that will show what people working together can do to help each other meet real needs.

Panels will be discussing how to start a worker cooperative, financial and other support resources for the grassroots economy, urban food security, and building the alternative by creating synergies between the different aspects of the grassroots economy and environmental and social justice organizations.
