Propose contents for the March 17th Publication
The Crisis collective recently proposed a new massive publication for March 17th.
This new edition will focus more on concrete proposals that can be done by people who want to take action to change their lifestyles and become less dependent on financial and political power. In short, it will be a publication that chronicles the ways in which we can take advantage of the opportunity of transformation opened up by the crisis.
Its name is to be decided. We imagine that some of its contents will be:
*The bank users strike: different ways to participate and related resources
*Housing cooperatives as alternatives to mortgages and 'housing as private property'
*Faced with the growth of unemployment and debt delinquency, how do we organize at the community level to free ourselves from their crisis?
*Starting at the grassroots, how do we leave an education system that makes us submissive and educate ourselves to be free?
As such, we are opening up a forum to invite you all to propose contents for the publication. It can be done under the name of an individual or collective so that we can distribute news of whatever you're already working on. The idea is that the people that receive the publication find proposals that they can participate in. They have to be proposals that are worth distributing widely in dozens or hundreds of thousands of copies.
Have in mind that we want to promote projects and actions that radically transform society and the way we live. Therefore, we won't accept or distribute proposals that go in the opposite direction or are too moderate, nor ones that only propose to pressure the state without changing our way of doing things.
How to speak intelligently about these idea's so that we convey the true message and explain ourselves properly without losing credibility.1



hi,
have a look at the book:
"Rethinking Our Centralized Monetary Systems: the case for a system of local currencies".
It has some interesting arguments. also there are some places in USA who have local community currencies and attempt to make people spend close to home and buy locally produced stuff.
ciao
