Hello Everyone,
Sally Duros and I are co-hosting an On the Table discussion inspired by Michel Bauwens’ Cooperation 2015 workshop on the peer2peer economy. Our #OnTheTable Discussion topic is the Chamber of the Commons.
At this conversation, we’re holding space to explore the creation of a Chicago Chamber of Commons and other ways to amplify the work of those in the peer2peer economy here in Chicago. We hope that you will join us. Using the #OntheTable2015 as a platform to discuss the Chamber of the Commons melds the two ideas that community discussions spawn energy and interesting ideas.
We will submit notes of our discussion to the Chicago Community Trust for input into their programming for the year, the Chicago Community Trust’s 100th anniversary! Last year, some hosts were invited to speak at Chicago Ideas Week. Our goal in making this event part of On the Table is to heighten visibility AND to put the idea on the table with a general influential public. Who knows what could happen?
We are sending this invitation separately from CCT’s online interface and hope that signing up isn’t too complicated. If it seems so, please direct questions to either Sally (SallyDuros@gmail.com) or Terry (terry@newcommunityvision.coop).

CCT’s boilerplate is: That day and evening, thousands of Chicago-area residents – from Alsip to Zion – will pull up a chair at gatherings like ours to discuss the future of our communities while sharing a meal together. We will be one of thousands of locations across the Chicago region hosting similar events where community residents from all ages and backgrounds will come together to put real issues and solutions “on the table” and share their commitments to helping shape our collective future.
Date: Tuesday, May 12
Time: 6 p.m.
