Help build Mendocino’s Map of the “Economy for Our Common Good” this fall

MENDOCINO Co., 8/17/19 — The Grassroots Institute has been hard at work over the last few years building county-wide map of the “Economy for our the Common Good,” which charts different community organizations, co-operatives, and businesses working towards a more sustainable and democratic economy here in Mendocino County. But there are plenty of local groups still not listed, and so the Grassroots Institute will be holding a 8 part course this fall at the Mendocino Community Center to expand the map.

The group has been surveying local businesses and organizations, as well as holding workshops to build connections between like-minded groups working on more equitable economic development here in Mendocino County. You can read more about their work here, and on their website, as well as learn more about the “solidarity economy,” which includes community organizations, co-operatives, and collectives, here. The full map of Mendocino groups can be found here, and students in the course will be adding more groups to the map this fall.
