The Just, Alternative, Sustainable Economy Festival will be held from 10:00AM until 4:00PM on September 26 in Humanist Hall in Oakland on 27th Street. This festival will feature a broad array of nonprofits, cooperatives, collectives, volunteers, community-based financial institutions, and more that will be getting together to discuss the new economy. “We are living in scary times. The dominant economy has never served our interests, but now it literally threatens our lives. The creativity that exists within our communities to meet our real, daily needs in very practical ways must be stepped-up. The times call for solidarity, for innovation and for expansion of all our efforts to build a better way of organizing our lives. We must do this ourselves. And with the JASeconomy Festival we believe we can demonstrate what’s possible by showing what has already been accomplished.” Admission is free, so come out and participate in groundbreaking discussions about the new economy!
