A trio of people from an interesting organization in Minnesota showed up to our sunny conference room at work, today. Jay Walljasper talked about the new book, All That We Share, that he compiled from tales told by activists changing their communities with innovative we-based solutions. Julie and Anna, the Co-Directors of On the Commons shared some of the projects they are working on, including a current project to protect the Great Lakes.
The ideals of these "commoners" include environmentalism, community development, and food sovereignty, just to name a few. But, they focus on these areas by bringing people closer in to solving the big problems. Makes me think.
