Watch for Details:
Technological Unemployment and the New Economic Order
A talk with Dr. Richard Gilbert at L.A. Eco-Village

Can we get paid not to work, not to be "gainfully employed," as we know it: To be able to pursue our labors of love in an economy designed to bring out the best in humanity, an economy that is restorative and steady state for life on the planet?

A provocative talk and dialog.  Coming soon to L.A. Eco-Village

The times call for deep and radical changes in our attitudes and behavior.  No time like the urgent present for re-inventing how we live on this planet!  Share what you are doing differently, or planning to do, with friends, relatives, acquaintances, even strangers in friendly and helpful ways.

Lessons from living in community:

GOOD NEWS FROM L.A. ECO-VILLAGE:
Opportunity to make year end tax deductible donations

Our limited equity housing cooperative, Urban Soil-Tierra Urbana (USTU), received its official 501.c.3 tax exempt status from the IRS in September 2014.  If you are thinking about an end-of-the-year charitable contribution, that supports our work in sustainable and affordable community development, please keep us in mind.  You might want to contribute to the eco-technologies fund for USTU, or the Beverly-Vermont Community Land Trust Learning Garden, or CRSP: all three of LAEV's tax exempt organizations are engaged in a wide variety of public services. You may also want to donate for a program that you would like to run with one of our organizations. For operations or project oriented donation inquiries, contact Lois at crsp@igc.org or 213/738-1254.  Thanks for considering.
