SeedStock - Help plant the seeds of a true local economy on May 16th!

For the past several months, I have been working hard together with a small group of dedicated collaborators to bring a bold idea from conception to action: what if we could create a community currency for Vancouver and the Lower Mainland that helps change the economics of local, making it pay for local farmers to feed our city, freeing the creative among us to earn a livelihood in full expression of their gifts, and that gives young Vancouverites a viable alternative to working for the corporations that would transform our city into a carbon export gateway? What if, at the same time, that currency could help communities generate their own resources to help realise the collective visions of their citizens?

This is what we want to accomplish with SeedStock, a community currency for Vancouver and the Lower Mainland with a particular focus on local food, local arts and handicrafts, and local healers. Over the past couple of months we have been busy developing our ideas, expanding our networks and forging a talented and passionate team ready to take this forward.

We are now asking for the support of everyone who shares our vision as we prepare to launch a crowdfunding campaign to raise the modest amount of seed money we need to see this project off to a good start. We hope you can join us on May 16th at the HiVE for an evening of vision sharing in prose, poetry and song . For more details and to get your tickets, please visit http://seedbomb.eventbrite.ca.
