Infomation
Our Mission:
As an organization we strive to localize welfare in the image of a public trust, lessening current economic dependencies on governmental and/or tax based welfare progams, in a fashion that is not self-serving to the needs of the individual, but heavily dependent on a the shared needs of the community as a whole. We feel it is wholly possible to sustainably serve the needs of the community through localized sharing of commodities, experience, and space.
How do we achieve our goals?
-Commodity Reform / "Free Culture Philosophy":
-
Transportation of excess goods and commodities (Clothing, Home Goods, etc.) from areas of excess, to areas of need.
-
Utilization of surplus to lessen dependency on excessive over production of goods. (Fight against the “Culture of Production” and its devastating effects)
-
Utilization of public space for the collection and distribution of shared goods and commodities, creating a point of public convergence within a community.
-
Create an alternative system of commodity circulation without a dependency on capital.
-
Eliminate “middle-man enterprises” in surplus reallocation. This focuses relief dependency on local communities as opposed to “outside influences” and more directly reflects the individual needs of a specified community..
-
Open individual income to more important costs of living by supplying basic living needs that exist in abundance in and around our communities. (i.e.- rent, utilities, healthcare, etc.)
-
Educate the community utilizing local experience and knowledge in the fields of self reliance and self-sufficiency to ease the burdens of current costs of living (Sewing, Urban Gardening, Home Repair, etc.)
-
Educate against the tendencies of today's “throw away” culture by offering sustainable living alternatives while actively promoting long-term vision and planning skills.
-
Actively work towards creating an economic, cultural, political, and environmental culture of sustainability within our communities.
-
Through active public engagement, Inter-Community support networks should be built to address concerns between bordering communities.
