Commons Convergence PDX

Commons Convergence PDX A free event for learning, networking and celebrating the commons…because we’re all in this together!

Can we dream, innovate and create a society that goes beyond the confines of our market economy? Join us for an inspiring afternoon with local and national activists, dreamers and doers who are re-imagining and bringing to life a just and sustainable world. Many of these efforts draw strength from reclaiming our commons—things that belong to all of us and are the basis of our collective well being

. Our featured presenter is Jay Walljasper, author of the new book All That We Share: A Field Guide to the Commons. Jay will chronicle stories that point us toward a greener, more equitable and more enjoyable future. He is editor of On the Commons, a national think, and a senior fellow at Project for Public Spaces.
