Our mission is to be a catalyst for relocalizationâthe development of local self-reliance in food, energy, transportation, media, systems of care, economy and the artsâthrough a broadly inclusive community-building process.
Climate change and a declining energy supply present us with great challenge and great opportunity. Our response taps the creative genius of the people of Santa Cruz, to facilitate an intentional transition to a resilient, equitable local economy and community. In contrast to dismal predictions of social dislocations due to declining fossil fuels, we can imagine our community quality of life actually improvingâif we unite to plan and implement the transition.
