In response to worsening energy, climate, and economic crises, Bay Localize is equipping organizers in our region with the tools they'll need to build strong communities. Join them for "Growing Resilience," a launch event for their long-awaited Community Resilience Toolkit!


The Toolkit is a workshop facilitation guide for leading groups to think holistically about how to build ecological, economic, and social resilience in their communities while decreasing reliance on fossil fuels. It offers Bay Area-specific fact sheets, resources, and actions in six key sectors: food, water, energy, transportation, jobs, and civic services.


Come hear dynamic speakers, see live performances, dance to eclectic selections, take part in interactive Toolkit sessions, and enjoy tantalizing local food and drink!
