Commons Convergence PDX
Share
A free event for learning, networking and celebrating the commons…because we’re all in this together!
Can we dream, innovate and create a society that goes beyond the confines of our market economy? Join us for an inspiring afternoon with local and national activists, dreamers and doers who are re-imagining and bringing to life a just and sustainable world. Many of these efforts draw strength from reclaiming our commons—things that belong to all of us and are the basis of our collective well being
