Town Meetings
We will organize Town Meeting votes to encourage, require, educate, and otherwise support broad adoption of regenerative practices on public land, in public space. In Cabot, VT, the Town Meeting voted to give Abanaki people permission to harvest food, medicine, and art materials in the Town Forest. We also ask towns to vote in support regenerative state legislation such as H. 292, the Regenerative Economy Bill.
People’s Assemblies
We will convene People’s Assemblies to unite all the local actions. The Regenerative Economy Bill calls for these Assemblies to be funded and staffed by the Regional Planning Commissions. The first Assembly was held online on Saturday, October 2, 2021. Click here to watch the video of it.
