jaseconomicsJoin OneCalifornia Foundation, Northern California Land Trust, Electric Embers, TransFair USA, Global Exchange, Mandela Foods, Inkworks Press,  and many other leading-edge Bay Area organizations as we celebrate and discuss just and sustainable alternatives to our economy at the JASEcon Festival. The festival is Saturday, September 26 from 10am to 4pm at the Humanist Hall at 390 27th Street in Oakland.

We’ll be on the Resources panel, and other panel session topics include Co-op 101 - Introduction to Worker Co-ops, Food Security & Urban Agriculture, and Building the Alternative.

The festival also includes an expo for related non-profits working to build a new economy, and a marketplace of like-minded businesses. A few table spaces are still available (Nonprofit tables are $40-50 and Marketplace tables are $75).  Delicious and healthy foods will be provided through the generous donations of Arizmendi, Cheese Board, and several other food co-ops.

The event is still seeking sponsors ($100-$200), if you’re interested in supporting the cause.

Contact Bernard at info@jasecon.org or 510 872 0930 to get involved.

Please come join us as we share ways to make our society a better place for all! See you there!
