Dear Community-minded friends,
It’s time to register for the Midwest Sustainable Communities Conference, and network with your fellow activists! Whether your passion is for social justice, climate change work, personal growth and conflict resolution practices, or intentional community, you’ll find inspiration and practical tools you can use immediately, wherever your path takes you.
Here’s a brief taste of our amazing roster of speakers who have been living and working on the leading edge:
Dr. Jifunza Wright Carter MD, a family physician boarded in holistic integrative medicine and a community health advocate with the Black Oaks Center for Sustainable Renewable Living in Chicago, IL.
Matt Stannard, JD, a longtime economic justice, cooperatives, and democracy advocate, and currently the Policy Director at Commonomics USA and board member of the Public Banking Institute. Matt’s passion is economic justice, and he has recently formed the Materialized Empathy project to focus on the intersection of economic and ecological justice. He is the author of the soon-to-be-released book, The American Commons.
Tawana Petty is a mother, anti-racist social justice organizer, youth advocate, poet and author. She was born and raised in Detroit and is intricately involved in water rights, digital justice and visionary organizing work on the ground in Detroit. Among her long resume of organizing efforts, Tawana recently coordinated the North American Social Solidarity conference, which brought thousands of people collectively to Detroit to engage in visionary organizing, social solidarity economics and healing justice work.

We know that some of the best learning and new friendships occur in-between scheduled events, so we’ve allowed for plenty of small group activities and personal time too. We hope you’ll join us in saving the world, one coffee break at a time!
In community,
Cob Carleton
Conference Co-organizer (and Rabbit)
