May 1-2: Gar Alperovitz in Santa Barbara

Community Democracy: America Beyond Capitalism?
What if there was a way we could create an economy here in Santa Barbara that offers everyone:
secure, rewarding, living wage employment;
healthy, safe and sustainable housing, food, energy and transportation;
meaningful participation in power at work and in the community;
and (insert your passion and need here)?
All of these goals go together and support one another. Community democracy is a key to achieving all of them. Join Gar Alperovitz in Santa Barbara and at UCSB this May 1st and 2nd in conversations about democratizing wealth and building a community-sustaining economy from the ground up.
