June 25, 4-6 Central Library To: Stephanie Rearick <[email protected]> Hello! We'll be hosting a workshop this Wednesday to discuss the potential of the new Mutual Aid Network framework we're developing, and how we can apply it in our own locations and support each other in doing so. I'd love to have a healthy variety of perspectives and you all have a lot to contribute. I'm also hoping you can help spread the word to others you think would be interested. Activists, thinkers, journalists, co-opers, credit union folks, community development folks, techies, whoever you think should be there. Please invite anyone you think might be interested. If you'd like to join online instructions are at bottom. We'll be using gotomeeting, which you can download for free. Try a little early because it'll take a few minutes. I hope you can make it! thanks Take care Stephanie *Builders' Workshops *building regenerative community economies *workshop series by Time for the World, project of Dane County TimeBank* Builders Workshop #16 *Building a MAN: How Mutual Aid Networks can redesign work and build a regenerative economy* *Wednesday June 25, 4-6pm, Madison Central Library 3rd floor Community Room** 201 W. Mifflin* Timebanking is great at building our core economy of caregiving, creativity, civic engagement and community building. Now we're learning ways to connect it with other tools of mutual aid - cooperative saving and investment pools, price-based mutual credit, shared resources and cooperative ownership. We want to connect those kinds of resources in a comprehensive network that can fund projects and people working to improve the community. These budding networks are called Mutual Aid Networks and are the brainchild of Time For the World <http://timeftw.org/>, a team and project originating in the Dane County TimeBank <http://danecountytimebank.org/>. Time For the World Co-Coordinators Stephanie Rearick and Chris Petit are fresh from a tour of potential MAN pilot sites and new economy conferences and will present their learning and progress at Builders Workshop #16 - Building a MAN: How Mutual Aid Networks can redesign work and build a regenerative economy. We'll discuss how this can be applied to meet various local goals, and take steps forward in building our own local MAN(s). If you would like to join remotely please see instructions at bottom of this message. *BACKGROUND:* Builders' Workshops are a learning and leadership building journey hosted by The Dane County TimeBank, our local mutual credit time exchange http://danecountytimebank.org and Build For the World, our project to learn from and share what we're doing with communities working on similar efforts around the world http://BuildFTW.org. At eight years old and over 2500 members, the Dane County TimeBank uses timebanking to facilitate several projects that have positive impacts on common social ills. From the TimeBank Youth Court's creation of neighborhood-based safety nets that keep kids out of the juvenile justice system, to our wellness and disability inclusion projects, to the Allied Community Coop where we're working with other neighborhood organizations to create a new model for community health on Allied Drive, we're showing how timebanking can be an integral part of creating a better world. And we're sharing our learning in a global network of mutual support. *http://danecountyTimeBank.org <http://danecountyTimeBank.org/>* *http://BuildFTW.org <http://BuildFTW.org/>* *http://timeftw.org <http://timeftw.org/>* ***FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT DANE COUNTY TIMEBANK DIRECTOR STEPHANIE REARICK AT (608) 663-0400 or [email protected] *** #### *Online Meeting access instructions:* 1.
