Hello!
We'll be hosting a workshop this Wednesday to discuss the potential of the
new Mutual Aid Network framework we're developing, and how we can apply it
in our own locations and support each other in doing so. I'd love to have a
healthy variety of perspectives and you all have a lot to contribute. I'm
also hoping you can help spread the word to others you think would be
interested. Activists, thinkers, journalists, co-opers, credit union folks,
community development folks, techies, whoever you think should be there.
Please invite anyone you think might be interested.
If you'd like to join online instructions are at bottom. We'll be using
gotomeeting, which you can download for free. Try a little early because
it'll take a few minutes.
I hope you can make it!
thanks
Take care
Stephanie
*Builders' Workshops *building regenerative community economies
*workshop series by Time for the World, project of Dane County TimeBank*
Builders Workshop #16
*Building a MAN: How Mutual Aid Networks can redesign work and build a
regenerative economy*
*Wednesday June 25, 4-6pm, Madison Central Library 3rd floor Community
Room** 201
W. Mifflin*
Timebanking is great at building our core economy of caregiving,
creativity, civic engagement and community building. Now we're learning
ways to connect it with other tools of mutual aid - cooperative saving and
investment pools, price-based mutual credit, shared resources and
cooperative ownership. We want to connect those kinds of resources in a
comprehensive network that can fund projects and people working to improve
the community.
These budding networks are called Mutual Aid Networks and are the
brainchild of Time For the World <http://timeftw.org/>, a team and project
originating in the Dane County TimeBank <http://danecountytimebank.org/>.
Time For the World Co-Coordinators Stephanie Rearick and Chris Petit are
fresh from a tour of potential MAN pilot sites and new economy conferences
and will present their learning and progress at Builders Workshop #16 -
Building a MAN: How Mutual Aid Networks can redesign work and build a
regenerative economy. We'll discuss how this can be applied to meet various
local goals, and take steps forward in building our own local MAN(s).
If you would like to join remotely please see instructions at bottom of
this message.
*BACKGROUND:*
Builders' Workshops are a learning and leadership building journey hosted
by The Dane County TimeBank, our local mutual credit time exchange
http://danecountytimebank.org and Build For the World, our project to learn
from and share what we're doing with communities working on similar efforts
around the world http://BuildFTW.org.
At eight years old and over 2500 members, the Dane County TimeBank uses
timebanking to facilitate several projects that have positive impacts on
common social ills. From the TimeBank Youth Court's creation of
neighborhood-based safety nets that keep kids out of the juvenile justice
system, to our wellness and disability inclusion projects, to the Allied
Community Coop where we're working with other neighborhood organizations to
create a new model for community health on Allied Drive, we're showing how
timebanking can be an integral part of creating a better world. And we're
sharing our learning in a global network of mutual support.

Hey y'all, If anyone's up for a yoga break, I'll be at sudo offering some
simple moves around 5pm today. It will be *really* accessible for anyone
who wants to unwind and take a breath.

[View More]really appreciate this. I hadn't considered it, but it's a lot like
the distinction between "homeless person" and "person without a home"
or "person experiencing homelessness". More than analogous, in fact.
Thanks very much for bringing this up, Vicky.

Unfortunately, I do not think there's any chance of getting access to

Err, never mind. Now he says he'd rather do a single day of moving
than spread across multiple days. So we're allowed Wednesday, with as
many trips as we need. Less disruptive for them, and less of a
logistical rush for us anyway, so it is what it is.
So the …
[View More]moving truck will happen Wednesday morning as planned.
[View Less]
We had planned a major truckloading starting 10:30am on Wednesday. But
some folks were also talking about doing an advance truckload tomorrow
(Tuesday) to help lighten the load.
We don't have keys yet, and we won't have keys until July 1, so we
still have to coordinate with our landlord-friends when we move things
in. I talked to J, the owner, and he said that space isn't an issue -
there is plenty of storage space ready for us in the basement and the
ballroom mezzanine, for example. But …
[View More]scheduling time is the tricky
part.
He's open to receiving a truckload of things tomorrow. He said that
around noon would be the best time for us to do it, but to call ahead
first.
He understands that we want to move things Wednesday too, and will
cooperate as best he can, but requested that we try to condense things
into as few trips as possible because they are so busy with many other
things and are pressed for time.
So there it is. Folks who were talking about a truck - what are the
actual logistics for getting a truck tomorrow? Who's willing to show
up tomorrow morning and move boxes?

Congratulations everyone on the new lease!
I went to this URL:

Is there a schedule for when people will get together with packing
and/or moving tasks this week? I work over at Merritt College all the
way up until 7 PM, but if people are working on this in the evening, I'd
be glad to come over and help out.
