SUMMARY:Developing a Wellbeing Economy Platform
DESCRIPTION:One of our group projects for 2025\, is to create a Policy Platform. \nFrom a Process perspective\, we want to accomplish multiple goals: \n\nSpur dialogue across our community about what issues are most pressing\nDig into specific policy options and deepen collective knowledge\nHave discussion about where and how disagree with the hopes of finding common ground\n\nFrom an Outcomes perspective\, we hope a unifying platform will allow us to: \n\nGo to current local and state legislators with a series of requests\nMake proposals to Attorney Generals about how they can pursue equity\nUse joint actions to demonstrate how many people support these policies\n\nThis process began at a community session in 2024.  We took the notes from that session and turned it into a first draft for comment.  You can see the first draft here and the running feedback on that draft here    If you would like to submit comments in advance of this session\, please email them to connect@weallcalifornia.org \nWe will work on a revised draft and circulate that to people signed up for this community feedback session. \nIf policy is what lights you up\, we encourage you to join us. We welcome everyone\, especially those looking to learn more about specific policy strategies. \nOver the course of 2025\, we will host a series of deep dives into each of the Platform “planks” to create the detail.  This session will be focused on the Introduction\, tone and what “planks” to include. \nJoin us on Tue Feb 25 at either 10am or 4pm Pacific for our Platform discussions. \nSIGN UP HERE

SUMMARY:Create a Local Support System for Coops
DESCRIPTION:Cooperatives are essential for creating more equitable communities. They uplift workers\, create a fairer economy\, and build community wealth and power. For cooperatives to grow and thrive\, they need a supportive and connected ecosystem that includes established practitioners\, values-aligned technical assistance and financing providers\, and political\, philanthropic\, and institutional investment. \nAt this session\, we will look at the different ways that local leaders are creating robust cooperative ecosystems to meet critical community needs. \nWe are joined by Zen Trenholm\, Senior Director of Employee Ownership Cities and Policy from the Democracy at Work Institute (https://institute.coop/) to share their hands-on experience helping communities develop the language\, tools\, and infrastructure to build and scale worker ownership. \nSign up HERE

SUMMARY:Book Club - The Serviceberry
DESCRIPTION:The first Thursday of each month\, we will read and discuss one chapter of Robin Wall Kimmerer’s excellent new book – The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World \nThe book is beautifully written and feels so important to the discussion of envisioning and co-creating a healthier world. One of our main themes for 2025 is how do we create the language and stories that help more people believe such a world is viable. \nThe chapters are relatively short\, so we hope you will read (or reread the chapter) so it is fresh in your mind. \nOn Thursday\, Feb 6 at 630pm\, we will discuss the first chapter. \nSign up HERE \n  \nPlease consider buying it from Abe Books or a local\, independent bookseller. \nhttps://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=32072116536 \n

SUMMARY:Narrative Workshop
DESCRIPTION:An important part of creating a society centered around Wellbeing is helping others to see the possibilities and to choose actions that move us collectively in that direction.  For all the progress we make\, it seems that we aren’t winning as much as we hoped. \nAs part of our series on Wellbeing messaging and narratives\, let’s dig into the other competing narratives and why they work so well. \nThis group discussion will be focused on four questions \n\nWhat are the existing narratives that undermine a Wellbeing Economy message\nWhat tactics are being used to perpetuate those narratives\nWhat should we learn from the success of these tactics\nWhat else would the group like to learn about messaging in 2025\n\nOur goal is to create a place where we can individually and collectively improve our ability to lead change\, be more persuasive and identify messaging that works. \nIf you missed our first workshop on how to craft a Wellbeing Narrative\, you can find the recording on our YouTube channel which also has a link to the original study the session was based on. \nWe are holding two sessions – one for morning people and one for afternoon people. \nYou can sign up for 9am or 4pm HERE

SUMMARY:Monthly Community Connection
DESCRIPTION:Our last community connection of 2024 was enriching.  An attendee described it as cathartic. \nThe feedback we received is that people want a community to discuss how we create a society of wellbeing and to support each other through the emotional ripples of this work. \nEach month we will have at least one connection session.  The next question is finding times that work for our community.   We have scheduled two sessions on January 14th to see how these times work for you. \nIf you can’t make either and want to lobby us for a different day or time\, email us at connect @weallcalifornia.org. \nTuesday\, Jan 14 at either 10am or 4pm \nSign up here \n  \n

SUMMARY:How to do more than Vote for November's Election
DESCRIPTION:We made an educated guess that our members are already committed to voting.   So in honor of National Voter Registration Day\, we wanted to create a list of ways that we can all support democratic participation in the November election. \nRex and David will share some less familiar ways to support the election and get more people to vote.  This will be an interactive session so we can learn from each other and form connections with others working towards Wellbeing Economies on the local and national levels. \nWe will be sharing links to organizations that help staff polls in neighborhoods that don’t have enough poll workers\, how to help cure ballots that are rejected and how to help your constituents check their registration. \nIf you have social media tools and examples\, we hope you will bring them. \nOur goal for this session is to encourage people to spread the word about the importance of voting to maintain and strengthen our democracy. \nWe hope you’ll join us on Sept 12th at 4pm!

SUMMARY:Co-create a Wellbeing Economy Policy Platform

SUMMARY:Discussion about Supreme Court and Inequality

SUMMARY:How to Advance a Wellbeing Narrative Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Wellbeing approaches\, slowly gaining traction around the world\, set human and planetary wellbeing as the definition of progress\, centering policies\, budgets and other actions on that goal.

In this session\, Metropolitan Group and RAND will present key insights from work on advancing a wellbeing narrative\, what it will take\, and considerations in engaging diverse sectors. \nAnita Chanda of RAND Corporation and Jennifer Messenger of Metropolitan Group\, authors of How to Advance a Wellbeing Narrative join us for a one-hour interactive workshop to help us improve how we message to our communities. \nSIGNUP HERE \n  \n  \n
