DESCRIPTION:In the face of increasing economic and financial instability, it is 
 important to understand how the money and banking systems operate and how 
 they affect our communities and livelihoods. Marco Vangelisti, founding 
 member of Slow Money Northern California, will help us explore ways in 
 which the money and banking systems can change and need to shift if we want 
 to build a more resilient and equitable local economy. We will look at how 
 communities around the country are experimenting with new ways of mediating 
 economic exchanges and the efforts underway to democratize and relocalize 
 banking, credit, and investing. \n\nIn this informative and dynamic 
 workshop, we will:\n*Learn what is money, how it is created and how its 
 design affects our economic prospects and the way we interact with each 
 other\n*Lean how investments shape our reality and what we need to do to 
 have a voice in deciding the world we will be living in.\n*Explore ways to 
 re-localize and democratize the economy, our means of exchange and 
 investments (including lending & investing, preference purchasing, benefit 
 corporations, worker-owned cooperatives, currencies and time banks)\n*Apply 
 what we learn to create action plans\n
