GATHERING OF THE COMMONS is a new initiative intended to connect and inspire Baltimore changemakers through compassionate dialogue and the sharing of resources. Part education hub and part action center, the GoC brings people together across difference to look at how community assets can address systemic challenges of health disparity, environmental injustice, racism, and beyond. Currently, we are
hosting monthly "First Friday Forums" to start the dialogue, and we're excited to see what emerges! Currently a project of The Baltimore Gift Economy, the GATHERING OF THE COMMONS planning committee includes:
Ulysses & Chrysalinn Archie, Baltimore Gift Economy
Seth Bush, Sierra Club
Jennifer Kunze, Clean Water Action
Candace B. Chance, Be BOLD
Lynda Davis, Coming To The Table, Washington DC
Nola Krosch, Permaculture Designer
Stephanie Refo, Master Gardener
Chef Faith Kling, Educator
Bennie Barton, Racial Justice Educator
And we welcome more!
