Many people believe politics is the last place to solve problems, but few
can question that when great issues are resolved at the ballot box and
government decision, the results are the most direct way to solve community
problems and lay the groundwork for the future. Elections further serve to
clearly define issues and inform the public.
By using a range of
public information and organizing tools we can help you adjust policies,
zoning ordinances, and building codes, and when needed elect public
officials who will revitalize your public institutions.
We help you:
Define needs and develop strategies
Mobilize for action to obtain funds, operate
co-ops, develop an infrastructure, and launch campaigns.
Train grassroots individuals or candidates to
act as spokespersons
Get local issues on the ballot, successfully
oppose regressive measures, elect candidates, and pass initiatives
The research that led us to writing Middle-Class Lifeboat: Careers and Lifestyles for Navigating a Changing Economy persuaded us the deepening economic turmoil requires policy changes that permit and stimulate sustainable ways to earn our livings and live our lives. Thus we take special interest in local sustainability measures that will lead to career and small business development.
