Community Needs: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:34, 13 January 2025

In building a regenerative future, we know we need to create networks of resilience to meet community needs. While nothing below is an endorsement, the following organizations are taking steps along the path toward community care, restorative justice, thoughtful reuse, radical abundance, food sovereignty, ecological harmony, and communal knowledge. If you know of organizations that belong on this list, please contact us!

Inclusion on this list is not an endorsement. All groups and links are already publicly accessible.
