Localism is about you!
Localism is about community. It’s about connections with your place, and the people that live in it. It’s about good jobs and a strong economy. It’s about having access to healthy food, clean air, and renewable energy. It’s about local politics, and businesses taking care of their employees and the planet. It’s about your neighbor and your child.
Community members across the nation, much like yourself, are coming together to build a collective movement in their cities and towns—the Localist movement.
