Episode 94: Community Wealth Candidates

Community Wealth promotes a different approach to community development.  The goal of local economic stability is achieved by anchoring jobs locally, expanding the provision of public services, and increasing the ability of individuals and communities to own assets.

Run by Canadian volunteers, Community Wealth Candidates works with and nominates candidates for offices at the municipal, provincial, and federal levels of government.  These candidates support community wealth initiatives by way of Community Land Trusts, Worker Cooperatives, and the progressive use of Anchor Institutions.

Community Wealth starts with "buying and hiring locally."
