Community Organizing for Action

Our mission is to develop and empower sustainable communities through networking, sharing knowledge, and co-acting with our neighbors. We:

* Support the development of grassroots communities with a spirit of care, respect, and love for one another.

* Take collaborative actions and make strategic plans that strengthen our local communities and generate prosperity and well-being.

* Network activities for community self sufficiency locally and nationally to create a web of strength, information and reform.

Co-Act is comprised of professionals from many areas of business who know how to organize, budget, communicate, motivate ? and produce results. If you are interested in being on our mailing list, or becoming a member or volunteer register here. The initiatives we have undertaken address community self sufficiency needs and include:

* Food and Nutrition

* Local Currency

* Inform

* Grassroots Media

* Education

* Transportation

* Environment
