Bloom Network

<h2>What? </h2><p>Bloom Network is an international community of people and projects creating and nurturing regenerative cultures to permanence. Local Bloom hubs around the world grow participation in practices such as food security, local economies, celebrations of diversity, and art as cultural transformation. <a href="http://www.bloomnetwork.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.bloomnetwork.org</a> </p><p><br></p><h2>Where and Who?</h2><p>There are 16 local Blooms in 7 countries on 4 continents, and we estimate there are approximately 30,000 people involved on the ground. Our participants include farmers, creatives, Indigenous leaders, and professionals who are working together in coalitions. </p><p><br></p><h2>Why?</h2><p><br></p><p>Why are we doing this? There are tens of thousands of initiatives solving major social and environmental problems, who are excluded from mainstream media and institutional finance because the way they work is naturally collaborative and polycentric. Now that Web3 is useable enough by a non-technical audience, we will implement a membership model to support grassroots organizing on an ongoing basis.</p><p><br></p><h2>Milestones</h2><p>Your contributions to this project will go toward these milestones:</p><p><br></p><p>+ Complete a "Regenerative Actions Ticker" on our homepage, to document and reward actions like planting food forests, hosting a CryptoParty, or teaching a class on restorative justice.</p><p>+ Launch our "Call to Bloom" to help 100+ local Blooms get started as centers of regenerative action in their cities.</p><p>+ Implement MyMeta, a profile system on Ceramic built by our friends at MetaGame, for an open, portable profiles system that can work across different websites. </p><p>+ Code DAO templates that local Bloom chapters can use to fund the coordination labor of actions such as regional food security, policy development, mutual aid, and startups that generate ongoing financial stability.</p>
