<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Dear Friends of Shareable and the Sharing Economy,<div><br></div><div>As partners in sharing work and community building, and as Los Angeles' Sharing City Network leader, the <a href="http://www.arroyo-seco.org" target="_blank">Arroyo Sustainable Economies Community Organization</a> launched the <a href="http://myla2050connect.maker.good.is/projects/ShareLA" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">ShareLA campaign</a> to win $100,000 from the Goldhirsh Foundation to advance a radical new vision for Los Angeles. Our plan is to create an open source blueprint for any community interested in becoming a sharing community. With strategies that range from grassroots to high-level civic partnerships, this blueprint seeks to sometimes quietly and not-so-quietly disrupt the broken systems upon which we can no longer rely. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Today Shareable published an interview that reveals why we are pursuing this important and transformative work: <a href="http://www.shareable.net/blog/sharing-activists-reveal-plan-to-turn-los-angeles-into-sharing-mecca" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">"Sharing Activists Reveal Plan to Turn Los Angeles into Sharing Mecca" </a><br>
<br>As of noon today our campaign is live and open to voting. Online voters will determine who wins $100,000 in the Connect category to implement a radical new vision for LA. It doesn't matter who you are or where you live - <i>anyone can vote online in this contest</i>! <br>
<br><b>PLEASE visit this link and support our work with your vote by Sept 16th!</b><br><a href="http://myla2050connect.maker.good.is/projects/ShareLA" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">http://myla2050connect.maker.good.is/projects/ShareLA</a><br>
<br>It only takes a moment to vote and you can easily sign in with Facebook. In return, you'll know that your 5 minutes translated into community-based strategies that have the power to bring people together, combat poverty and isolation, and revitalize neighborhoods simply through the power of sharing resources, information and time.</div>
