π± Potluck and working Group Check-in/Announcements π±
For ourJuly meeting we are excited to welcome Sarah Reyes to talk about Plurinational land reform, which hopes to change the relationship between the land and the people who work on and steward rather than own it. We will also be looking at buyer's clubs, a way for individuals to pool resources in order to get better deals by cooperatively purchasing what they need.
