Excellent presentation by @ShelaineSiepel of @SustBusNetwork yesterday at our Sustainable Business & Solar Summit. Interesting to see #CommunityWealthBuilding mentioned as a way of facilitating sustainable procurement. Practised by @LewesDC but not @EastbourneBC, which seems odd!

I'm in a USA #communitywealthbuilding community of practice discussion. Fine set of folks. And excellent reflections on Presidential election. Time to double down on progressive activity in neighborhoods, cities and States. The fight and struggle goes on.
