    E8: Local Currencies with Alice Maggio
    Dec 20 2023

    Berkshire County is home to a vibrant, democratically controlled local currency called Berkshares, now used by nearly 400 local businesses. We’re joined by Berkshare’s former Director Alice Maggio to discuss how local currencies can create stronger communities and economies at the same time. Alice also discusses the crossover between Berkshares and her current job as Senior Project Officer at The Working World, which makes loans to cooperative businesses in New York City.

    E7: Community Bonds with Ryan Collins-Swartz
    Dec 18 2023

    Community Bonds allow citizens to invest—and get repaid, with a return—in cooperatives and non-profits, raising the capital needed to create and expand democratic alternatives to the status quo. In just 5 years, Tapestry Community Capital has raised over $100 million in Community Bonds for 59 iconic projects, including renewable energy cooperatives and community land trusts. Tapestry’s Co-Executive Director, Ryan Collins-Swartz, explains how Community Bonds work, what they have and can be used for, and what iconic projects citizens can invest in right now.
