We have opportunities every day to build economies that lift each other up and spread joy.

More than 200 land trusts around the country help struggling families buy their first homes, often in gentrifying neighborhoods.

Community land trusts create housing that is permanently affordable. And they also help new city farmers get land.

From kitchens that buy and sell locally grown food, to a waste co-op that will return compost to the land, new enterprises are building an integrated food network. It's about local people keeping the wealth of their land at home.

For the movement to succeed, it must be led by the dispossessed—those for whom the mainstream economy has never worked.
