Visualizing a sharing economy – a cartoon guide to the policies and practices that are paving or blocking the way

Speakers: Janelle Orsi, Author of The Sharing Solution and Director, Sustainable Economies Law Center and Law Offices of Janelle Orsi

Sharing is a key ingredient in the transition to a more sustainable world. Car sharing, shared housing, barter networks, gift circles, shared food gardens, meal sharing, community energy projects, cooperatives, community-supported enterprises – these are just some examples of ways that sharing is becoming an essential part of our economy and livelihoods. With the help of somewhat goofy cartoon slides, Janelle discusses practical ideas and tools, ways of overcoming barriers to sharing, and exciting new developments in the realm of sharing economies.

Local Innovations in Neighborhood Economic Development

Speakers: Michele Clark, Youth Employment Partnership (YEP); Jose Corona, Inner City Advisors; Viola Gonzales, AnewAmerica Community Corporation; Mike Hannigan, Give Something Back; Marsha Murrington, Bay Area LISC; Sofia Navarro, Unity Council; Mercedes (Meche) Sansores, Women’s Action to Gain Economic Security (WAGES)

Bay Area LISC with key partners is developing a model that facilitates equal access to wealth-building opportunities. We are identifying and developing competitive niches within our local economy that link employee training for careers in up-and-coming markets, local worker-owned cooperatives, creation of local supply-chain contracts through microbusiness development and the acceleration of small business growth. By working together, partners see the opportunity to inject the economy with new vitality and create jobs serving a wide spectrum of skills sets. In this workshop the partners discuss their strategies on ensuring that economic opportunities are being developed in the inner city.
