Roots to Power: Regenerative Economies and Grassroots Organizing

 

Bioneers Pulse – updates from the Bioneers Community

Bioneer, 

The ecological and social crises we are facing require urgency and collaboration on a vast scale. While organizers and activists rally relentlessly for a habitable planet, corporations have continued to seek larger and larger payouts at the expense of the home we all share. As much as these times are characterized by exploitation and degrading ecological health, our present moment is also marked by unstoppable world changers, many of whom are organizing grassroots, local movements for a regenerative economy that restores social and ecological well-being.

This Earth Day, we share content from community leaders as they discuss building equity & regenerative democracy toward a sustainable future.
