A couple of lines from the chorus of an old song from the Institute of Cultural Affairs, sung to the tune of Country Roads.

“Local people

shall rise again

to build the earth,

the common earth.”

Thank you for these stories in these times, Rosemary!

Can you please more stories like this. It helps in discovering our lost humanity, our most treasured heritage. I have by conducting and posting interviews of people engaged in community service on my website theknowledgeexecutive.ca

I use the word solidarity economy for this activity to draw attention to the distinction between market economy and public sector and community economies.
