Intro to Grassroots Institute
The Grassroots Institute: Progressive Solutions for the Common Good is part of a burgeoning international movement to confront our deteriorating political, economic and environmental systems. It looks at the systemic problems created by the power of money, which is ruining life as we know it, and the citizen-based solutions that are creating a vibrant future.
Our initial offering is a study guide for the Grassroots Solutions and Corporate Power course we have been teaching for three years. You can use that study guide:
• To present the whole course in your community to educate and engage concerned citizens;
• As a guide for a study group on corporations and democracy;
• To educate an issue-oriented campaign on the systemic economic and political problems and solutions relevant to the central issues of the campaign;
• As a personal study guide to understand the systemic economic and political problems and solutions around our most vexing environmental and social crises.
We are also engaged in a year-long project to help communities map the business, non-profit, government and citizens groups that are already building an economy for our common good. The solutions to our sustainable future are already at work in our towns, cities and countryside. We just have to recognize them, bring them together and support them.
