Occupy the Economy
This page is to guide people to the various WGs and actions that are associated with our "taking back the economy".
- [Sustainable Economy Working Group]. This group has several actions associated with guiding our spending to socially, fiscally, and environmentally sustainable businesses. Discussions of future action include "Alternative Economics" workshops, actions to promote "community reinvestment banks" by large cash-rich organizations, alternative measurements of corporate/government/social change success, etc.
- [Social Enterprise Working Group]. This group helps people start "social enterprises", which are enterprises that are "triple bottom line" sustainable. They include worker-collectives, worker-owned businesses, and for-profit enteprises that are socially sustainable. The group has vast resources for people that want to start sustainable businesses.
- [Local Currency Working Group]. This group is discussing the possibility of starting a local currency, to help keep "value" local, and help local and regional businesses.
