The Giveth Community of Makers

The Diamante Bridge Collective (DBC) is a network of land stewards, individuals, organizations and communities located primarily within the Diamante Valley of Costa Rica, expanding to include those from the greater Southern Zone of Costa Rica, and those abroad. The DBC functions as a hub of many physical nodes, connected via global networks of shared vision and mission with the goal of restoring, preserving and consciously stewarding surrounding lands and watersheds while living harmoniously within them in alignment with our planetary values. We work together to create collective foundational agreements and a local regenerative economy that includes digital currencies for the transparent and accountable recordkeeping of our exchanges. We are building bridges between individuals, communities and organizations, local and global cultures, property owners and skilled service providers in the Southern Zone of Costa Rica who are committed to working together long term to care for our bioregion, our neighbors, and ourselves.&nbsp; We also serve as a bridge, and an entry portal, for individuals looking to exit the industrial consumerist lifestyle, and return to regenerative practices and community living. Operating as a diverse network, we are in a unique position to be able to direct and connect individuals to communities which will best suit their needs, interests and passions. We value the transcendence of the old model of land “ownership”, choosing instead to “steward” lands. We are in the process of creating a legal foundation for the securing of land into trust or conservation, for the benefit of future generations. We embody the ethics and principles of permaculture in our personal and communal lives, whilst supporting and inspiring one another with honesty, clarity and authentic communication. We value family and community life, seeking to create village settlements that nurture optimal human development by most effortlessly meeting everyone's needs. We value open-sourced platforms of information storage so that our story may serve as a model to be shared with other collectives and put into action.&nbsp; Our governance model is Sociocracy, valuing the diversity of perspectives within our collective and ensuring space for all voices during decision making processes. DBC Education and culture sharing includes:Facilitating the Living Permaculture Mentorship Program, offering skill sets in Syntropic Agroforestry, Social Permaculture, Holistic Wellness, Permaculture Design Certificates, and Growing and Preserving Food (Campaign can be found by copy and pasting this link:&nbsp;<a href="https://trace.giveth.io/campaign/living-permaculture-mentorship-program)" target="_blank" class="ql-size-large">https://trace.giveth.io/campaign/living-permaculture-mentorship-program)</a> Hosting and collaborating on culture exchange and skill share eventsSupporting the rebirth of balanced Earth-People cultures through Visionary storytelling and integrated Indigenous ancestral wisdom&nbsp;Offering scholarships for youth leaders from economically disadvantaged communities.

Diamante Bridge Collective 

I run a bridge server for chats (Discord, Telegram, Riot, ...) and am actively engaging communities connected to the Ethereum space. Especially with the advent of newDAOs my services are being requested on a regular basis. Most requested at the moment is bridging between community servers on Discord (both communities get to share a room), whereas before it was mostly mirroring rooms between different protocols. Once a bridge is up, it still needs to be maintained and I regularly check that everything is in working order. I never charge for these services, but I do accept donations (all Ethereum tokens) Current list of bridged communities:<ul><li>Giveth</li><li>The Commons Stack</li><li>Metagame</li><li>Hackalong</li><li>1hive</li><li>ethereum.org</li><li>balancer.io</li><li>Aragon</li><li>cadCAD</li><li>Token Engineering</li><li>Token Engineering Commons</li><li>sourcecred</li><li>Raid Guild</li><li>DappNode</li><li>brightID</li><li>Metafactory</li><li>dOrg</li><li>Matic</li><li>Consensys</li><li>Panvala</li><li>Gitcoin</li><li>Yearn</li><li>DAOHaus</li><li>Kshazu</li><li>DAO Book Club</li><li>Mol Le Art</li><li>ETHLatam</li><li>Shenanigan</li><li>Seeing Earth</li><li>Boson Protocol</li></ul>

Bridging Digital Communities

Diamante Luz is a space for integrated collaboration and cooperation with nature. Our residents, neighbors, and visitors have been drawn to the area in order to co-create a space for living and working in balance with all of our relations. As the first node of the Diamante Bridge Collective, we are passionate about the integration of permaculture and shared common land-based resources. We offer learning environments for ecological wellness and restoration so all ages can share knowledge and connect with the wisdom of this place. We provide spaces for things such as:<ul><li>Cultural centers for artisans</li><li>Processing kitchens for medicinal and food preparations</li><li>Syntropic food forests for food security&nbsp;</li><li>Mentoring those passionate about becoming leaders of local food movements&nbsp;</li><li>Environmentally responsible regenerative businesses</li></ul> All whilst offering the space for personal development through community interaction. We are an evolving eco-village of nomadic co-creators at the beginning stages of development with many opportunities for regenerative investment for the benefit of future generations.&nbsp; The land itself has drawn us in with two majestic waterfalls of dramatically different characters, a spring that is in need of replenishment through reforestation efforts, and a three hectare section of land that we have set aside as protected forest and waterways.&nbsp; Much of our work takes place in transforming the ten hectares of pasture into a thriving live/work community with opportunities for collective and personal land stewardship. We are inspired to share our passions for clean water, healthy soil, clean air, and beautiful sustainable structures.﻿ <div class="ql-video-wrapper"><iframe class="ql-video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/s0kqmjopiRs?showinfo=0"></iframe></div>﻿ <img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmWVJKzjSyUHQJQhDjpYwRQhKTPxkCKNocp7GevHgw3hdr">Our beautiful onsite waterfall, who we lovingly call Abuela.

This is a special Giveth Project, part of the Panvala League. This grant accepts all donations, but donations in $PAN on xDai or Mainnet will receive extra MAJOR matching! If you are a member of the Trusted Seed, you get to vote with your CSTK Score to decide how these funds are used every quarter. Read this post to learn more: <a href="https://medium.com/commonsstack/commons-stack-community-fund-voting-round-3-dedc0f98d495" target="_blank">https://medium.com/commonsstack/commons-stack-community-fund-voting-round-3-dedc0f98d495</a> You can increase our $PAN matching in 2 ways! #1 Donating PAN to this Grant #2 Hodl $Pan and Stake for us: <a href="https://panvala.com/staking" target="_blank">https://panvala.com/staking/</a> How do we distribute the funds We collect the funds for 3 months and convert all donations raised into PAN and then distribute them to the Trusted Seed's top 15 grants. First Goal If any of the grants collected less than $1000 that quarter in total funding, they will be topped up to $1000. We estimate this will require ~$5000 worth of funding, but it may take more or less and that will be reflected in the final result. Second Goal (Unlocked after ~$5000) If we raise enough to ensure that all the top 15 grants receive at least $1000 in funding, the next $10,000 will be split between the top 5 projects, as voted on by the Trusted Seed. The first place project will get 40% of these funds, 2nd = 30%, 3rd=20%, 4th = 7%, 5th = 3% Third Goal (Unlocked after ~$15000) If we raise enough to award the top 5 projects $10,000 in the 2nd goal, the next $10,000 will be split equally to the top 10 projects, as voted on by the Trusted Seed. Fourth Goal (Unlocked after ~$25000) If we raise enough to award the top 10 projects $1000 each in the 3rd goal, the next $30,000 will be split equally to the top 15 projects, as voted on by the Trusted Seed. Fifth Goal (Unlocked after ~$55,000) If we raise enough to award all 15 projects with $2000 each in the 4th goal, the rest that we collect will be split between the 15 projects along this rate: #1-7 = 10% each, #8-12 = 5% each, #13&amp;14 = 2%, #15 = 1%

The Commons Simulator: Level Up!

The current social and health crisis in Colombia is forcing people to raise their voices. This year, the protests began on April 28th and people have taken the streets with no rest since then to claim to the government. Although the nowadays crisis is not something new, there were several triggers for the social response that we see today, among them:

- A tax reform that would have affected low and medium-class people
- The more than 900 social leaders murdered since 2016, the year in which was signed a peace agreement with the FARC guerrilla
- A health reform, that pretends to privatize the public resources
- Since the first days of protests, the police forces repressed the protesters in such a violent way, that there are 37 people murdered by the Colombian police in less than 20 days of strikes
- The historical inequality here is such, that it would take 11 generations for a poor family to approach the mean income and the current government policies are not doing anything to change this situation
- The ineptitude and disinterest of the government in protecting women from gender violence

In this social context, there are a lot of people organizing themselves and joining forces to support the strikes. Among these connections arose a "Spontaneous Gathering" in which some people from Bogotá started to meet to gather ideas to move forward. Here I share some of the things we have accomplished so far:
- Organized the logistics to carry out a space of open mic in a public park. In this space, we also received and handled donations of food like fruits, sandwiches, and water to distribute to whoever could need them that day. 
- Gathered nonperishable food, first aid supplements for kits, and money to donate to people in need.

Now, we aim to also gather international funding to keep up with the required work to support the strikes. We will be deeply thankful for your donations; we will update the destination of each dollar here.    

¡El pueblo no se rinde, carajo!

It's hard to dream big when you can't get out of bed. Health is so foundational, that without it, work, play and everything in between becomes hard (even impossible). After six years, four doctors and an obscene amount of medical bills, I should know. My name is Bradley, and I've been fighting Lyme disease/CIRS for almost a decade but I went undiagnosed until 2016. It's been a hell of a journey and has turned my life completely upside down.<h3> </h3>"This is fine", I told myself for years.&nbsp;My body said otherwise, and used sickness to finally get my attention. In January 2016, I got my diagnosis: Lyme disease, they said. Take these pills, they said. Oddly, it was a relief to have a concrete label for my problems -- I wasn't crazy or psychosomatic. I began full-time treatment, optimistic that this would be a short skirmish and then I'd be healthy and able to work again. Nothing but a blip on the radar, right?&nbsp;Well, my high hopes wore off in five minutes as I quickly realised--thanks to Google--my illness was chronic and perhaps incurable. Still, I was determined not to give up so early in the game. And so the next six years of fighting the good fight began with a bang (or was it a whimper?). Over time, "How do I get better?" became "Can I get better?" and ended in "I won't get better." I tried increasingly alternative medicines and treatments--from herbs to saunas to coffee enemas to energy medicine--bouncing around from doctor to doctor, but I didn't get better. Apparently, some problems in life don't go away even when you throw money at them. I had done everything right but was still just as sick as ever. And then, the money ran out. You see, conditions like Lyme disease are misunderstood by the medical community and largely uncovered by insurance companies. I had been paying for my treatment almost entirely out-of-pocket (goodbye, retirement) but after being unemployed for 3 years, my bank account was tapped out. Depression set in (again). I quietly contemplated suicide and life felt meaningless. But God held me back from falling into the void. I managed to raise money and that bought me more time to keep gambling for my life. I started from scratch with a new doctor and an additional diagnosis of mold biotoxin illness (AKA chronic inflammatory response syndrome -- CIRS). In an attempt to outrun my illness, I couchsurfed my way across the USA, bouncing around--like a ping pong ball--from Birmingham to Tucson to California to Seattle and finally back to Tucson, this time for good. By the skin of my teeth, I landed a position cooking at a four-star resort actually, starting at the bottom as a dishwasher for six months and working my way up. My troubles were far behind me, and I was moving up in the world. The debilitating stress of working in kitchens quickly caught up with me, and I burned out hard. I got horribly sick--was it 'Rona? We'll never know--and had a medical incident at work one day. I laid in bed, feeling as close to death as I've ever been. But an emergency ozone IV saved my life -- clearly, God had other plans. I moved back in with my parents and laid low, hoping to recover rapidly in six months and "get back" (like the Beatles song). But almost two years later, I'm still stuck at START (like Monopoly: "Do not pass GO, do not collect $200"), with a condition that leaves me unable to work and unable to get disability. Something has to change.<h3> </h3>"But you don't look sick," people have said to me countless times, usually with a smile or a shrug. I don't blame them, because I've learned how to put on a good show. I have mastered the art of acting and looking fine, even when I'm actually hanging on by the skin of my teeth, propped up by painkillers, herbs and God knows what else. The truth is ugly: on an average day, the symptoms of Lyme/CIRS reduce your quality of life to somewhere between congestive heart failure and having the worst flu ever. Excruciating joint pain/arthritis, chronic fatigue, brain fog, depression -- these are just a few symptoms that make it hard even to get out of bed. Like Albert Camus said, "Nobody realises that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal." It's so draining and difficult to go out in public, drive, or just complete basic tasks. To not give up is an art--and a science--in itself. Sometimes, it's enough if the only thing you did today was breathe. After 6 years, 4 doctors, and an obscene amount of medical bills, I would love to close this chapter of sickness forever and get back to the business of living. But&nbsp;whenever I move on, I burn out repeatedly. And I can't afford to let it happen again. So I'm back at the beginning: get healthy. There's just one problem: Lyme/CIRS are emerging conditions that are ignored or misunderstood by medical providers and largely uncovered by insurance and disability. In the end, illnesses that are 99% invisible get you sympathy and pity but not much else, as you're left to rot away at home.&nbsp;People like me are too sick to work, paying for treatment mostly out-of-pocket and unable to get disability. Sounds like the perfect storm for depression, and eventually, suicide. This is unsustainable, and something has to change.<h3> </h3>So, what's next? Good question. I'm working with a new doctor, a new diagnosis for CIRS/biotoxin illness, and a new, comprehensive protocol that addresses the root causes of both CIRS and remaining Lyme disease. Things look promising. For the first time in years, I'm feeling optimistic that I may have a shot at getting better, IF I can afford the treatment. With your help, I hope to raise $20,000 for medical treatment. This opens doors for me to get comprehensive care, access to the best medicine available-- from ozone to IV therapy to better pain management --and treat my illness aggressively. Any amount can make a big difference in helping me to have a better future. But even if you can't donate, take a second and SHARE my story, and I will be forever grateful. Thanks so much for your support!

We are always working hard to keep our users updated and keeping ourselves focused on building a better product for our users. After many rounds of discussion with our developers team, we are ready to release our roadmap for 2021<img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmUxLkTnKv4H3B6NmwS3at5BNSzdjr2xZijPSEQknVi68V">In Q1, we successfully launched YouSwap on ERC (Ethereum network), introduced our platform token YOU (achieving an oversubscription rate of &gt;2000%), brought liquidity farming pools online, and successfully commenced our invitation mining for our platform — the take up rate was encouraging and we look forward to be updating the community with the numbers shortly.Start of Q2 — In early Q2, we successfully went live on HECO (Huobi chain) — one step closer to our multi-chain realisation. Also, we are happy to announce that YOU will be live on BSC by end April 2021. A BIG THANKS to our developers team who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure we are on target with our roadmap.We have also clarified our tokenomics in our white paper. After clearance with our legal team, it will be uploaded on our website as soon as possible.In Q2, our focus will be mainly on product:<ul><li>listing YOU on more exchanges,</li><li>increase liquidity pairs on YouSwap,</li><li>launching IDO/IFO products</li><li>“one-click” coin listing</li></ul>By launching YOU on several major public chains, we are able to construct a multi-chain ecological deployment system on our platform. What does this mean for project owners then? By pledging YOU tokens, project owners can complete “one-click” coin listing on YouSwap, with access to IFO technical support, fund-raising, and coin-listing service that launches across all the major public chains (ERC, HECO, BSC). This is a major function and our engineers are working hard to bring this function live in Q2.One last function in Q2 would be an intelligent mining management system. However this service is still in development, and we can only provide more information once the service is live.For Q3 and beyond, we are looking at introducing new products. The detailed update and progress will be provided nearer to end of Q2 as developments are still in the works. We hope that the YOU community is as excited as us for what has been achieved in this short period of time. Looking at our growth and hitting our roadmap targets for these 2 months is really amazing.Thank YOU for being part of the YouSwap journey!YouSwap TeamAbout YouSwapYouSwap is a decentralised exchange that optimises the AMM model, integrating resources for liquidity and swap pricing, increase exchange speed, and innovate the token economy model.

A full-featured native iOS/macOS library that provides Web3 functionality in Swift with native ABI parsing and smart contract interactions on the Ethereum network. <h1><a href="https://github.com/matter-labs/web3swift" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">web3swift</a> Overview &amp; Project goals</h1> <h2>1. Keep an up-to-date web3 library on Swift</h2> Continuous support of the ongoing Ethereum ecosystem and language changesFor example:<ul><li><a href="https://docs.ens.domains/contract-api-reference/.eth-permanent-registrar" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">New ENS Permanent Registrar</a></li><li class="ql-indent-1">had been implemented before it was released: <a href="https://github.com/matter-labs/web3swift/pull/162" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/matter-labs/web3swift/pull/162</a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/matter-labs/web3swift/issues/145" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Our community asked to add infura web sockets support </a></li><li class="ql-indent-1">PR: <a href="https://github.com/matter-labs/web3swift/pull/144" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/matter-labs/web3swift/pull/144</a>)</li><li><a href="https://github.com/matter-labs/web3swift/pull/141" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Swift 5 update</a></li></ul> <h2>2. Provide the easiest on-boarding for iOS/Mac developers to build web3-based DApps</h2> We provide the community with convenient tools to work with the Ethereum blockchain in pure Swift and the ability to quickly create secure decentralized applications (DApps) for Apple devices, without a need to study cryptography. This allows developers to focus on the content quality and UX/UI in DApps, which in turn increases the adoption of the Ethereum blockchain and community growth.<h2> </h2><h2>Why we are applying for this Grant:</h2> We've developed web3swift as a side project. It falls in the category of public goods and isn't monetizable. Nevertheless it's useful for the ETH ecosystem.Now to keep the project up to date, to be on the wave of the Ethereum updates, and actively support them in the library, we want to move it to crowdfunding support.Matter Labs would like to eventually make web3swift a completely community-driven project. Right now, Petr Korolev (one of the co-founders) has volunteered to become a full-time maintainer. He should be considered the main responsible person for this grant.<h3> </h3><h2>Who we are:</h2> web3swift was originally founded by the team of 3 developers/cryptographers and Ethereum contributors, multi-ETH-Hackathon-winners:<ol><li><a href="https://devpost.com/software/pyromania-time-to-burn" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ETHParis (Pyromania)</a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/zdai-io/zDai" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ETHDenver zDai (2019)+ </a><a href="https://devpost.com/software/ios-native-smart-contact-interactions" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ios-smart-contact-interactions (2018)</a>,</li><li><a href="https://devpost.com/software/loopr-wallet-enhancements" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ETHSanFrancisco - Advanced DEX tools</a></li><li><a href="https://devpost.com/software/gameofsnarks_contracts" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ETHBerlin - The Game Of Snarks</a></li></ol> and recipients of <a href="https://blog.ethereum.org/2019/02/21/ethereum-foundation-grants-program-wave-5/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ETH Foundation Grants (Wave 5)</a> <h2>Core team:</h2> <ul><li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Petr Korolev: Creator and Architect, tech coordinator(<a href="https://github.com/skywinder)." rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/skywinder).</a> The responsible person for the whole development process of this library.</li><li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Alex Vlasov: Cryptographer &amp; researcher (<a href="https://github.com/shamatar)." rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/shamatar).</a> Do the hard-lifting code tasks with fundamental cryptography implementation.</li><li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Anton Grigorev: Core contributor, original co-maintainer (<a href="https://github.com/BaldyAsh)." rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/BaldyAsh).</a> Devote free time and experience to the project</li></ul><h2> </h2><h2>Current state</h2> Now the development is effectively stalled cause original maintainers are a hundred percent busy with their main projects.

We are a small team who help dogs and cats that basically lack the basics of a comfortable life. That would basically include water, food and shelter. We have a dog shelter in our community that has around 150 dogs and most of them lack the basic needs of life. Our aim is to provide them with these necessities to make their life a bit happier. and we would love and appreciate your help to do that. Blockchain brings transparency and that was a great motivator for me as a blockchain project owner to try this route and mix charity with transparency as well. I will do my best to give updates in this channel constantly, so people who are donating know that the money is being used in the most efficient and best way as possible. P.S: Here are some videos from our latest work in this shelter where we bought a ton of food for these angles, which as you can see are very hungry. Let's together make their life a bit more cheerful. <div class="ql-video-wrapper"><iframe class="ql-video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tvwS3kcSlyk?showinfo=0"></iframe></div> <div class="ql-video-wrapper"><iframe class="ql-video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WyMlleLHgQI?showinfo=0"></iframe></div> <div class="ql-video-wrapper"><iframe class="ql-video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/juaEIjo3SrU?showinfo=0"></iframe></div>

We believe in a world without new plastic. And we make the best out of the old.
We develop & market sustainable surf equipment and create a new awareness for dealing with plastic through education. We act courageously, authentically and socially.

Many people want an alternative to the throwaway society. A conscious and sustainable use of resources such as plastic offers an opportunity to act responsibly and do something good for oneself and the environment. This requires education on recycling and more sustainable products. There is a lack of both. People are looking for practical and attractive ways to use resources more consciously and thus protect themselves and the environment. 
 
Merijaan addresses both problems:

1. Social: By educating people about up- & recycling, we create a new awareness about how to deal with plastic. We organise plastic recycling workshops and set up circular economies.
We are currently digitising all our educational material. The result will be a 4 month transmedia plastic recycling workshop series for children — including audio, visio and hands-on components.

2. Surf: We develop and market sustainable surf equipment made from recycled & recyclable plastic, enabling people to surf in an environmentally and health-friendly way. We use the material that already exists so that no new material is produced.
 


Merijaan — for a plastic free world

There is a shortage of healthy, organic local fruit for people in the Pevensey area to freely and easily access, and a lack of suitable foraging habitats for pollinators, especially bees. A new community orchard in Pevensey would address both needs as well as increasing the biodiversity of the area, especially as so many local orchards, as well as 97% of UK wildflower meadows, have disappeared since World War 2. According to the Produce Marketing Association, over the past two decades the UK has become increasingly reliant on imports, with a self-sufficiency rate of just 11% in fruit. International food supply chains are increasingly fragile due to climate change &amp; the erosion of globalisation, so more local fruit growing would increase local food security as well as create a new outdoor community facility for local people to use for social gatherings, picnics, celebrations, or just to enjoy being in a beautiful natural setting in the very heart of the historic village of Pevensey and against the imposing backdrop of Pevensey Castle with its Roman walls and Norman keep. The local parish council has made some public land available for the creation of a community orchard and has recently cleared the land of grossly overgrown brambles, giving a the <a href="http://pawforestgarden.co.uk/" target="_blank">Pevensey &amp; Westham Community Forest Garden</a> team of volunteers a chance to take over the management of the site and develop it to its full potential. The Pevensey &amp; Westham Community Forest Garden has been active since 2015 and has already successfully created a flourishing forest garden in the local area, with the support of Pevensey Parish Council and Wealden District Council. The forest garden volunteer team has acquired many skills and much knowledge over the years, especially about the care of fruit trees, and has a strong commitment to restoring and maintaining the natural heritage and cultural tradition of fruit cultivation in the local area, sharing it with the public through the many community workshops, guided tours, and Apple Days they have organised over the last 6 years. The site is well protected from cold northerly winds and facing south in an area that has the best sunshine record in the UK as well as one of its warmest climates, so it is ideally suited to fruit growing. A few fruit trees already exist on site, planted about 7 years ago, but many more are needed to create a fully-fledged community orchard, so much of the funding would be spent on purchasing quality, two years old, fruit saplings plus the stakes and guards needed to protect them for the first few years. Funds would also be used to purchase quality information boards to stake on site to inform the public about the project and the specific fruit trees on site. Some new garden and landscaping tools would be needed for the volunteers to carry out routine maintenance.

According to the results of the all-Russian population census for 2010, 1,877 people live in the Primorsky Territory. which are the Indigenous Minorities of the Primorsky Territory (KMN). Basically, aborigines live in five municipal districts of the Primorsky Territory. As of 01.01.2021 in the territory of the Primorsky Territory, 26 public associations of the indigenous peoples of the Primorsky Territory are also officially registered. The Russian Federation singles out Indigenous Peoples as a special social group of the population in need of support and legal protection, due to the vulnerability of their traditional way of life and their original habitat. In 2009. a presidential grant was used to set up a legal center. In the course of providing free legal assistance in remote and hard-to-reach settlements, the lawyers of the center identified the need for a separate solution to the problems of indigenous peoples. The particular urgency of the problem is associated with the fact that, despite the measures taken by the state authorities of the Russian Federation to regulate the issues of protecting the rights of indigenous peoples, the situation of these peoples is not improving. This is largely due to the introduction into legislation of the principles of payment for the use of land plots and natural resources and the allocation of fishing grounds and hunting grounds on a competitive basis, which does not allow due consideration of the rights and interests of indigenous peoples. Today, on the territory of the Primorsky Territory and the entire Far East, there are no legal centers specializing in protecting the rights of indigenous peoples. Aboriginal legislation requires specific knowledge and approaches to solving the problems of indigenous peoples. Particularly acute is the problem of assigning and receiving social pensions guaranteed by legislation to representatives of indigenous peoples, receiving social benefits.

This project is about economic empowerment of African communitiesusing the scientific model proposed by Professor Richard Werner. Thus in order to lobby for establishing community banks acrossAfrican, we need capital to lobby the governments of the differentAfrican countries. Operating capital, do presentations, capital to make internationalphone calls etc to decision makers and to garner support for thescientific economic development model used by countries like Chinaetc. So the economic empowerment model is already in place, we just needcapital to get everything off the ground and get government on-board. This also includes establishing blockchain technology for a variety of things.

A Dream for Carrancas: Espaço Voa Carrancas is a town of 4,000 inhabitants, of great cultural importance and full of natural beauty. In this small town in southern Minas Gerais, a collective dream is born: the Espaço Voa - a place for agile learning and human development. The Espaço Voa is a living environment where families, educators, collaborators, and children receive tools to move between self-knowledge, transformation, and connection, making the creative potential within each one of us express itself and promote an integral, autonomous, respectful, and meaningful learning. In agile learning, we believe that our commitment and dedication to knowledge are potentiated when we follow what moves us and what makes sense. That is why it is agile! Counting on an extra school shift of agile learning and educational / psycho-pedagogical services, this place welcomes the diverse learning needs of the community's children. Everyone involved in Espaço Voa will be encouraged to be free and believe in themselves and their dreams. Because we wouldn't be here if we didn't believe in ours: building an inclusive learning space that promotes human connections and motivation for learning. ✨Our goal?To promote an inclusive learning space. For every family that can support us financially and has a kid with us, we match this to help another kid in the community to receive a social grant.

Taking a comprehensive approach to women-led initiatives: inspiring women to enter our world and making space for what they bring! A public good. We are seeking 10 partners at $100,000 each to form a $1M fund. Smaller donations are also welcome. We can begin formative work on the project with as a little as $25,000. <a href="https://metagammadelta.com/" target="_blank">Meta Gamma Delta</a> has a track record of giving grants to women-led projects in Web3 since its summoning at ETHDenver in 2019. This is a $1M fund to expand that effort: at the heart of it, if we want to empower women by supporting their initiatives, we're going to need to open the door to more women. We propose to create an end-to-end solution that attracts more women into the space, creates opportunities for them to succeed and opens the way for the blossoming of the ecosystem. We see this as an essential public good. After all, the best solutions to the widest problem set will come from diverse people and perspectives. It's not only how you coordinate, but who's in the room when you do. We believe that to really move the needle, we need an end-to-end solution:<ul><li>Find potential new talent, and knock down their barriers to entry</li><li>Provide robust educational opportunities through scholarships with major educational partners. (In 2021, Consensys provided scholarships for 10 Meta Gamma Delta members to Consensys Developer Bootcamp, an inspiring model.)</li><li>Create or partner on a basic income program that supports women while they are gaining skills and onboarding (3-6 months for women who are accepted into the program).</li><li>Provide mentorship and other resources from Meta Gamma Delta and partners.</li><li>Through these partnerships and our network, help with job placement upon completion of the program.</li><li>Continue to support women-led initiatives and startups, creating a wider footprint by actively sourcing more projects through hackathons and by other means.</li></ul> MGD has been an all-volunteer operation. To deliver on a project of this magnitude, we will need to conduct a discovery phase, create paid workstreams, recruit skilled workers and create a pilot program to test the concept:<ul><li>Create a pilot program for 3-5 women for the first round of the program</li><li>Partnership development</li><li>Program development: develop structure around the path from onboarding through education to job placement or startup initiative, and create paths for developers as well as some specific non-technical paths in areas of need for the ecosystem: marketing, project management, business development, etc.</li><li>Recruiting program including incentives and bounties, actively identifying good candidates from traditional companies, educational institutions, or related fields, and attracting them to apply.</li><li>Documentation of all of the above, with detailed milestones and budget for successive phases.</li><li>Success metrics and questionnaires for an ongoing assessment of the program.</li><li>Evaluate and apply innovative compensation models and universal basic income programs</li></ul> We expect to spend about $25,000 to create a roadmap, including detailed budget and milestones, and also to set up key partnerships in this phase. Based on that, we can run a pilot program onboarding 3-5 women. We expect to produce results from that program that can be further iterated by others, and we would use that information to inform the further expansion of the program to more women. This will be the most comprehensive diversity initiative we know of to date in Ethereum and the DAO space. About the TeamThough we are seeking funds to build a new program, this may partially be considered retroactive public goods funding. We have a track record as an early, inclusive and well-regarded Moloch DAO supporting women. We hold monthly calls that cover a wide range of topics from learning about DeFi protocols such as Aave, to discussing legal issues in the DAO space, and even sharing PR tips to get more awareness for your project. We’ve provided grants to DeFi dapps such as Good Ghosting, publications like The Defiant, and art initiatives like DADA collective. We currently have about 80 members: web3 entrepreneurs, developers, experts, and educators. We have the capacity to provide meaningful mentorship in various aspects of Ethereum. Meta Gamma Delta members are accomplished in their areas of expertise. Partnerships are essential to this initiative, gathering assistance from all quarters, but also - importantly - enabling other DAOs, companies, and entities to collaborate on this major public good. In particular, we propose to partner with other DAOs to fill out the workstreams. We will need a variety of people to design and implement this ambitious program. We may look to Raid Guild cohorts, Metagame, Padawan DAO, and others - and create not only workstreams for their members but also a meaningful trade of value in terms of mentorship and opportunity. If funded for a minimum of $25,000, our first task will be to convene a working group of 5-10 MGD members to jumpstart this initiative. We will engage with other diversity initiatives such as Panvala’s Women-Led Coalition and Jovian to inform the development of this work. The timeline should be about a year, with the first three months dedicated to mapping out the rest. We will make all of our work products public and accessible so others may track our progress and copy our models as desired. We made a <a href="https://forum.daohaus.club/t/mgp-nov-2021-meta-gamma-delta/6357" target="_blank">proposal to MolochDAO</a> to be a cornerstone partner in this major initiative. Have questions?

There are many community organisers, volunteers, groups, and social enterprises throughout East Sussex working hard with few resources to protect and improve the natural environment and to drive forward climate mitigation and adaptation both locally and beyond East Sussex. But most of these projects never get the adequate support they need, nor the public recognition they deserve. To rectify this, an annual Greening East Sussex Awards Ceremony is being developed and is scheduled to be launched sometime in 2022. It will be backed with funding from the Greening East Sussex Foundation, set up in memory of the late Brian Jones, a dedicated and much loved environmental campaigner in East Sussex, England. The Foundation will not only finance the awards ceremony itself but also provide grants to the award winners to help them develop, or scale up, their projects. To make the Foundation sustainable, yields from investments in 'blockchain for good' projects and regenerative finance protocols will be sought to bolster the Foundation's treasury in addition to the funds raised through donations, crowdfunding appeals, and grants.

<h3>Who We Are</h3>GiveStation is formerly known as REAPit Wallet in 2019, we went from creating a social media based wallet that allows anyone to tip and stake cryptocurrencies on social media networks like Telegram, and twitter to changing the model to a decentralized crowdfunding platform that allows anyone to raise funds for thier ideas and causes.The idea behind switching it to GiveStation was to birth a new phase and model that appeals to a much wider audience and not just those that want to make crypto payment.Getting donations from the previous GR11 Grants by Gitcoin, we have seen the power of crowdfunding, the positive impact it leaves on societies and communities and so we have decided to join the altruistic race by creating an avenue for dreamers and aspiring developers to make their dream a reality.

Eastside Family Caregiving Agency is a Ventures (Seattle, WA) funded local to national Caregiving Agency that is desperately needed for the disabled population in our area. The lack of Thriving Wages has decimated the medical and home care industry. Local agencies were reporting 80% turnover rates in 2020 and did not have the staffing to send out to their clients. This project aims to address that issue. Our founder has a background in HR and Medical Recruiting. Funds will be used to use defi to hire and pay Caregivers for the local and hopefully national community with "increasing wages" using crypto in partnership with Opolis: <a href="https://opolis.co" target="_blank">https://opolis.co/</a> where we are already registered.

Mutual Aid and Civil Defense with Cut The Plastic EMS- stems from a series of groups that provide food, clothing and jobs for housing insecure people in the Denver Metropolitan area. We take food that would be destined for the landfill and divert it so that housed and unhoused members of the community have access to home cooked nutritional meals, clean drinking water, laundered clothing and personal hygiene needs. Residents volunteer at food banks; collect bruised, damaged or "expired' food from grocery stores; transfer it to people who cook meals in their homes and take it to public spaces to provide safe spaces for people to eat. We collect and purchase sustainable containers for storing drinking water reducing reliance of plasticized water, provide permanent (not disposable) plates and silverware that is washed after each meal and work with laundry services to ensure that people without housing have access to fresh laundry. Additionally we promote issues important to our communities like having access to water, affordable housing and fighting laws that criminalize people for being poor. These methods include providing potable water to people who live on the street, participating in the political sphere to fight efforts to criminalize poverty and assisting people in navigating the infrastructure of low income services to find solutions assisting people in receiving the dignity of stability in their lives.

Greensteps is a community tool that seeks to reward people's effort to reduce their carbon footprint. Greensteps provides an simple and elegant method for community to record their member's contribution towards carbon reduction and convert these contributions into a valuable voluntary carbon offset certificate (as community-endorsed impact claim) in the form of NFT that is then sold on-chain. Proceeds from NFT sales feed into a community liquidity reserve that backs the minting of a community token distributed to to members as reward for their contributions. These community tokens can then be exchanged at participating merchants within the community for goods and services. Merchants are able to burn the token and claim the corresponding value in the reserve pool.

<h1>GRACEaid</h1>was launched in 2015 as a way to help those who find themselves risking everything to protect their families and keep them safe from conflicts raging around the globe.Since 2016 GRACE has been a registered charity in the UK, and thanks to the Giveth platform, GRACE has been a pioneer in the use of crypto by humanitarian aid charities and NGOs.Over the past six years, GRACE has harnessed the compassion and support of the London community, and our donors globally.We have shipped some 3,000 boxes of donated non-food items to refugees and migrants in Greece, France, Syria, Serbia, Bosnia Herzegovina and Uganda. Other aid has been distributed, by GRACE and its partner charities, to people in London with little or no means to furnish a home or clothe their families. The next chapter in our international aid effort will involve fundraising to purchase aid close to where it is needed. This will be food and clothing primarily, but in time we hope to expand this to include contributions towards language, education, work, training and other integration efforts. Buying the aid directly overseas is a new strategy for GRACE which will bring significant reductions in the financial, bureaucratic and environmental costs of shipping goods from the UK. It will also enable us to make more efficient use of clothing and other items generously donated by individuals and businesses in the UK. Many of these items will be made available directly through our community shop in SE London, allowing people recently arrived in the UK to choose what they need to clothe their families and equip their home.Other items will be sold in our charity shop, with the funds helping support our expanding overseas operation.

Our Project is about teaching the masses about Crypto while enabling them to earn a daily basic income.

The process of them earning tokens that can be converted to usable fiat currency forces them to find ways to convert it. There's no easier way to teach Crypto.

The link to the token page is 

https://mintme.com/token/MustHaveCrypto

Here one can buy the tokens thereby donating to the creator and getting the tokens in exchange or they can trade in the token exchange. Our desired requirement is that a buy order is placed to create liquidity for cashouts.

With direct donations we will raise the buy orders to the desired price.

Please be generous.

You are thanked in advance.

We are on a mission to protect water regenerate the planet and restore all biodiversity on Earth! This film highlights the voices of the inspiring changemakers in the plastic-free movement paving the way offering us tangible solutions to the mess we've made. 

WHY?

Plastic is destroying our wildlife, polluting our drinking water, and is made with cancer causing chemicals like be BPA. It’s made from oil. The oil industry subsidizes all of the plastic products we consume, profiting trillions of dollars all while stealing and polluting our water running through indigenous lands… 

From racing extinction to climate change, environmental disasters, deforestation and plastic pollution. The fear based media is leaving us paralyzed stricken with anxiety and despair. 
We are here to empower individuals with solutions they can make in their own lives
And to make zero waste closed loop systems available to everyone. 

HOW? 

We are interviewing business shop owners, policy makers, and everyday heroes. 

TO CONTRIBUTE

Our first milestone is to receive a SONY As7 + Boom Rode Mic Pro + 35 - 50 MM Lens to complete all of the interviews in the Los Angeles area, film Reusable LA + their campaign Skip the Stuff, and then meet and film shop owners in San Diego as well as the San Francisco Bay area, highlighting solutions like Dispatch, which is a reusable takeout container program.

Seven towns in the Northwestern Patagonian region of Argentina have suffered a tremendous tragedy. 
An enormous fire broke out on March 9th affecting approximately 15 thousand hectares, so far. The flames started within a three hour period in towns that are miles apart, a fact which makes it clear that this wasn’t an accident, but a deliberate act. The situation was not only aggravated by powerful winds, but by the governmental apathy, abandonment and incompetence to provide a quick and effective response, at the height of the circumstances.
More than three hundred houses were burnt to the ground. Nothing but ashes remained, desperate home owners had to run for their lives in order to escape from the flames with what they had on their backs and nothing else. Some even saw their pets die in front of their eyes. 
Today, on March 17th some of the fires have been controlled thanks to the rain and the hard work of volunteers.
Most of the people in these small towns live from what the Earth provides: cherries, berries, barley, hops, vegetables and by producing beer, among other things. All of this has been turned into flames, leaving them with no source of income. They have no access to essential services, such as water and electricity, which makes communication extremely difficult. Most importantly, Patagonia is a very cold place, autumn is right around the corner and these people were left without a roof to protect them from the harsh weather conditions in the approaching seasons. Three hundred families need to rebuild their homes and we need your help to achieve this.
The motives that produced such a tragedy are still unknown, but we know that burnt land is exploitable land. We know that those who see land only as profit don’t care who gets in the way of their idea of progress. They don’t see these hectares as habitats, as native forests, as places where animals live, where people live.

We are aiming to build a series of experiments to halve the cost of social care with multi-generational living. We have spent 6 years building one of the most progressive social innovation ecosystems in the world in the small island nation of Guernsey. That ecosystem is now capable of solving very complex problems.

The Village Project looks to create a model for rapidly deployable low costs villages that radically improve quality of life and wellbeing indicators for all age groups. Most western states are dealing with a demographic time bomb of ageing populations with high chronic disease loads. The model of health and social care is unsustainable and needs to be reimagined from first principles.

HNS Fund is a community run development fund. It is the only source of non-VC, non-dilutive grants funding in the HNS community. Our goal is to support and empower our fellow open source developers and creators in their mission to create a free and open internet on the dweb.

HNS Fund was created out of the need to source funding and coordinate builders within the HNS community because there is no Handshake Foundation, founding team, or any other centralized entity.

HNS Fund is dedicated to free and open source software. We give donations to community members that are working to expand the ecosystem, build tooling, create new use cases for personal TLDs, and make onboarding and adoption easier for people new to HNS. All projects must follow the Handshake Community Guidelines to receive HNS Fund grants.

We are open to giving grants to anyone working in the Handshake community. We primarily focus on these areas:
* Core Handshake protocol development
* Domain management tools (e.g. claiming, registries/registrars, DNS records)
* Wallets
* Browser integrations
* Auction tools
* Educational content
* Identity solutions
* Community growth

Zimbabwe is a country facing severe challenges in the area of food security due both to political and environmental factors as well as widespread poverty. The rural areas are especially vulnerable as they are far from central aid, and the children are as always the most vulnerable of all. Lack of food during our developmental years has effects beyond going to bed hungry. A lack of nutrients does not only negatively impact ones mental capacity and bodily development in the short term, but it can also have quite dire consequences in the longer term. If we are to have a future at all, it is the young who must receive the most of our attention and energy for it is not only they who must take on the task of creating a better tomorrow, they are the ones who will be around to experience it.

Vukani, which means "Wake up" is a pilot project that aims to wake people up to the fact that local, sustainable farming is the only reliable path forward in an increasingly unstable world. The goal of the project is to grow food for the local school children, providing them with the nutrients they will need to develop their bodies and minds. If the project works, we will replicate it with a number of rural schools in Zimbabwe, in Africa and across the globe.   

The project initiated in 2019 where we dug a borehole but we now need the funds to pump and distribute the water and create a solar-powered irrigation system before the dry season that starts in April, as well as funds to seed, tend and harvest.

Sage to Saddle aims to keep Native American youth focused on healthier alternatives to the prevalent poverty and substance abuse they live with, which are both major contributors to late winter’s “suicide season”. On America’s reservations, this suicide rate is four times the national average.

With 20 years dedicated to photographing America’s West, Nate Bressler realized while on photo-assignment shooting Native American horse racing teams for Outside Magazine, that a winter horse riding facility would greatly benefit the community of Pine Ridge. 
He teamed up with Lakota Native, Stan Brewer, the driving force behind Pine Ridge’s horse community who acts as Riding Arena Coordinator. Together, they created lofty but attainable goals that will bring structure, education, celebration, not to mention a safe haven, along with the opportunity for these Native youth to lift their chins with pride.

Sage to Saddle, with the support of the Pine Ridge community, hopes to provide this indoor horse riding arena for kids from 8-18 years old with an after-school program focused on equine relationships and the responsibilities horse care involves. Rotating through arena activities and the required time for completing homework in the attached classroom, students of the program will be granted the opportunity to carry on a horse nation’s tradition with the very animal that made their survival possible.

Rounding out the Sage to Saddle team, Angela Smith grew up in Utah, exploring the Mountains and Deserts throughout the West. She has been involved with nonprofits throughout her life, supporting differing charities and causes through volunteering, increasing public awareness, organizing private donations and events. While working in the field of software, design, and technology, she currently supports local groups involved with homeless families, mental health and addiction issues, and veteran work training programs in San Diego, CA.

I recently created a token on xdai, and am currently working on resources and social media. This token's project is intended as a philanthropic one, used specifically to support homeless individuals–especially in the LGBTQ+ community. I am looking for the support of projects to help me bootstrap liquidity to add the token to at least 1 DEX. Any tokens not used for LP will be burned and there is only a total supply of 120000 to begin with, so it is SUPER deflationary. I am hoping to provide liquidity to ascertain a price of at least $5 per BENE. Any profit from the sales of such can be placed into a pool like those on PoolTogether, a part of which’s interest will be used as donations and supportive funding for the homeless community, who are scheduled to be uprooted the moment the CDC gives local govts the okay to do so. This is extremely destructive to such a population and I would like to give them all the support they can get. The token contract address is 0xf99dfdcffd67d36bf362b4cb31599673f94d7ada

Rationale:
This platform is intended, among other things, to support people and improve the world around us. 

Expected duration or delivery date :
I am looking to bootstrap liquidity immediately. Development of the Application and resources should be completed in the coming days.

Skills and previous experience in related or similar work:

I have spent the last year working with a local ministry called Turtle Shell Ministries whose sole goal is to transition homeless individuals to housing. I also have worked as Community Ambassador and Curator for 5 different current DeFi projects including The Graph.

Funding Goal:

“Meme Manifesto” is a transmedia project, aiming at representing, understanding and archiving the social, cultural and visual forces behind the global spreading of memetic culture. The project comprises a website installation and a participative archive called “Safari”; a physical installation, called “Detective Wall”; and a series of workshops called “The Meme Manifesto Protocols”, where participants are called to contribute with contents, images and discussions to the implementation of Meme Manifesto.

Clusterduck Collective has been actively operating online in the field of digital art, digital communities and digital policies since 3 years. Clusterduck Collective is actually counting 40 collaborators coming from different parts of the world (Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Nederland, US, Brasil). The Meme Manifesto transmedia project is a collaborative installation which is also the result of a series of workshops happening in different parts of the world, where students, creators, artists, and participants are called to open up, research and share discoveries about their complex digital life and culture.

The project has proved to be particularly effective during Covid-90 times, as our digital social life has become an even larger part of our awake and social time. Video calls and chats during the work in progress, with classes of different nationalities (mainly Spain, Nederlands, Germany, Italy, France, Slovenia, Czech Republic, UK, Brasil, Vietnam) has been proven to generate useful and interesting discussions on how to be safe from fake news, conspiracy theories and digital anxiety in general.

Meme Manifesto

A diverse ecosystem emerging on a global scale is experimenting alternative forms of production, relationships and ownership, with radically new and different logic and practices from those of the mainstream: no longer market competition, based on private ownership and solely aimed at individual profit, but sharing, decentralization and cooperationbased on global common goods such as knowledge, data and environment for the collective good.

The Connective - A Post-Capitalist Atlas wanna map and connect the agents and ecosystems of this new paradigm in an evolving database, and to represent them through beautiful schemes and maps.

The outcome of this work is an always updating Common, a free and accessible map of the developing post-capitalist economy, where individuals and organizations can discover innovations, networks, opportunities and make sense of the emerging ecosystem itself.

We are a worker cooperative which dream is to become a blockchain-based decentralized community, providing both sense-making and practical utilities to the agents of the new economy.

We'll start from creating schemes, maps and visualization of the post-capitalist experimentations happening in the world, and to promote them on social media, while we develop a community-driven open softwarea +business model to help communities and ecosystem to map and connect their own networks too.

The Connective - A Post-Capitalist Atlas

Herbal Dances explores the healing potentials of combining herbology with dance & movement therapy. It shines light on how plant medicine can influence our beings and how we can use psychotherapeutic body techniques to work with this medicine.

This artistic creation addresses environmental issues and human mental, physical, spiritual and emotional wellness. Western culture is excessively focused on our individual minds, and to be whole, well beings, we must also value healing with our bodies and celebrating our connection with the mother body that sustains us, earth.
To ease common struggles, like stress and loneliness, science and ancient cultures know that we cannot only use talk and mind therapy, that we need to combine this with embodied processing and integration of new states, like relaxation, unity and confidence.

Research and discovery will investigate the effects of being in the presence of plants and using plant medicine, including teas, salves, tinctures, and pairing these effects with movement therapy exercises. From here I will create herbal medicines with an online portfolio of scientific, written, danced and other artistic descriptions.  

Did you know that mother earth often grows plants most healing and nutritive to humans in soils disturbed by human activity? Plantain, heal-all, dandelion...this project uses art to influence our cultural narrative around these magical species, connecting humans with the environment. Technology exists that lets us create music to the frequencies emitted by plants themselves! This foraging season, I will record music from the plants that I harvest to make medicines with and create dance rituals and performances, which are my interpretation of the powers of the plants. 

The impact of the project is that humans deepen our embodied intuition and appreciation of the planet, leading us to choose lifestyles that are more environmentally-friendly and caring to our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing.

Conscious Medicine Collective is a dream project from master shaman and mystic Manex Ibar and life partner Victoria Ibar, to create a high-end boutique psychedelic consciousness center.  The intention is to create an ultimate set and setting and powerful pre, during, and post protocols that bring creativity, music, art, and high-end healing, medical practitioners, and influencers together into a club, that fosters innovation, problem solving, and creative solutions through the use of plant medicines, psychedelics, and consciousness programs.  We seek to raise 3-5Million Euros to create the full project on the already bought 12 acres of land, on a river in the Basque Pyrenees mountains.  Our aim is to cultivate a natural plant medicine herbal garden that follows the astrological, alchemical, and natural cycles and process the plants into spygarics (an ancient alchemical way of treating plant matter into precise medicine) which is the most effective and least harmful way to ingest plants, with precise measurement capacities, and effective dosing.  With our extended global network of doctors, chemists/pharmacists, healers, artists, musicians, and creatives, as well as leaders, we aim to bring the highest levels of service, bringing magic, nature, and wonder into an experiential club center that provides elevation of consciousness.  We hope you join us!

Permaculture Action Network is a continent-wide collective that mobilizes thousands of people to take direct action on regenerative projects with a diversity of groups and organizations. We collaborate with performing artists and cultural events to invite people into hands-on work that regenerates ecosystems and catalyzes the movement for a just transition.

We work at the edge of art, music, culture, and the regenerative community movement, offering people a pathway to take action locally where they live through Permaculture Action Days, Permaculture Action Hubs, and Permaculture Action Courses; our approach is to create events that are easy to engage in and sprout long-lasting movement involvement.

Due to COVID-19, we're focusing on building a Just Transition Map - a map of community spaces, infrastructure, and place-based projects that are establishing viable alternatives to the extractive economy. These include urban farms providing free and affordable organic food to low income folks, community gardens growing and distributing medicine, and other community spaces providing for people’s material needs while restoring ecosystem health and building land-based autonomy.

We’re creating a piece of movement infrastructure to be used by the environmental justice movement as a whole. The Just Transition Map will be a major resource for people looking to discover what place-based projects exist in their area—this will enable thousands of people to: get involved in local projects’ activities for the first time, fund project organizers and make donations, strengthen local networks, and facilitate the distribution of resources as mutual aid. 

Most importantly, the Just Transition Map will act as a vector of community building for each site represented on the map. These are the place-based projects literally feeding their communities while regenerating degraded ecosystems and improving biodiversity.

I live in Chilliwack, BC, Canada. The indigenous Stolo people have lived in this area for 10,000 years. Today Chilliwack has about 100,000 residents and a severe homelessness problem with a disproportionate number of indigenous. There have been times when the nearby city of Vancouver has forced emigration of homeless to Chilliwack by bus. A free one-way ticket. The warm climate of Southwestern BC is a haven for homeless. I want to feed the local homeless and hungry population. I believe filling a person's belly can make a big difference in the world. People will be kinder and more productive after eating a healthy lunch. I will buy use $250 of food to make healthy sandwich-based lunches (turkey, ham &amp; peanut butter &amp; jam [vegan option!]). I will buy from local businesses where available. These meals will also include a small bottle of milk, some vegetables, a piece of fruit and a cookie. The next day we will distribute these to the local homeless populations. We will direct one hundred towards gas and vehicle maintenance and one hundred fifty towards room &amp; board expenses. I will create a new Facebook Page called Feed Chilliwack and post pictures of the gritty smiling faces of our lunch recipients and the food &amp; gas receipts. This will allow donors and the public to see and get inspired by our efforts. If it goes well it will be repeated. My team is made of myself, a 44 year old man, and my 16 year old daughter.

&nbsp;E.T.H.O.S.&nbsp;Emergency Transitional Housing Offering Services Looking to donate $USD? try our sister fundraiser here: <a href="https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/ethos2" target="_blank">https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/ethos2</a> In 2018, the City of Olympia sanctioned a tent city adjacent to the transit center downtown dubbed the "Mitigation Site" for those struggling on the streets to have somewhere to rest and seek shelter.&nbsp;In late 2020,&nbsp;two-and-a-half winters and many tents later, a next step in creating a path to housing for downtowners was conceived when the City of Olympia contracted a local design and build firm to create 60 'micro-houses' to replace tents and offer more security and safety for those trying to get on their feet.&nbsp; E.T.H.O.S. is an inclusive fundraiser and auction to outfit the micro-houses at the Mitigation Site with amenities that will contribute to the effectiveness of the temporary space. By providing heat, electricity, storage, and organization, occupants of the site will have that much more ability to attend to the care provided them by various organizations and teams in the region; funding the basic necessities first enables us to help support and connect agencies of wrap-around care to tend holistically to individuals coming out of the poverty cycle. When basic needs are met at the Mitigation Site, funds from E.T.H.O.S. will be allocated&nbsp;to regeneratively-financing more&nbsp;ArtIsSolidarity fundraiser projects - to help house more people! During the build, hundreds of community volunteers and hired Mitigation Site workers came together to construct a village of transitional shelters that will provide the springboard for support and crucial connection to ultimately lead people to the route of permanent housing - in whatever form that might take.&nbsp; ArtIsSolidarity is borne out of a community coming together to resolve a public health crisis: homelessness. We're commissioning local artists to mural-ize emergency transitional shelters and tokenizing their work for an auction to raise funds for outfitting a sanctioned "Mitigation Site" with necessary amenities like bed frames, heaters, shelves. By employing artists, effecting a pay-it-forward model of shelter purchasing and placement, and connecting with hubs of wrap-around service providers who will follow up with folks in shelters coming off the street, we can then introduce NFT and cryptocurrency as a means of abating poverty for those willing to learn the space, and even sponsor individuals' pursuits and crafts to help re-stabilize them.&nbsp; Find out more by checking out this link:<a href="https://linktr.ee/artissolidarity" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/artissolidarity</a> Follow Us On Twitter!@SolidarityArt

Who we are: One of the latest <a href="http://coiniran.com/" target="_blank">CoinIran</a>'s projects is launching the Iranian chapter of “<a href="https://twitter.com/WiBlockchain" target="_blank">Women in Blockchain</a>” , committed to empowering Farsi speaking women. In contrast to the West where computer engineers are predominantly men,&nbsp;Iran’s STEM graduates are about 70% women. With this program, we are hoping to empower more Iranian women engineers by mentoring them on technical fundamentals of Blockchain coding such as Solidity and smart contract development.&nbsp;With the help of Women in Blockchain’s Founder&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/thessymehrain?lang=en" target="_blank">Thessy Mehrain</a>&nbsp;(also ½ Iranian), and CoinIran co-founder&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/baharlikespring" target="_blank">Bahar Alinia</a>’s tireless efforts, we were able to secure scholarships to the <a href="https://consensys.net/academy/" target="_blank">Consensys Academy</a> for a selected few Iranian women (900 USD each). This has enabled them to attend the&nbsp;ConsenSys Academy&nbsp;Blockchain Developer bootcamp — The bootcamp is one of the most popular and up to date courses that teaches everything from hashing, developing, testing deploying smart contracts in Solidity. We held bi-weekly meetings outside of the course syllabus, enabling CoinIran scholars to discuss their issues and concerns, and get technical mentoring whenever it was required. We are proud to announce all seven of our scholars finished this course and received certification from ConsenSys Academy.&nbsp;For more information about this group, here are some links: <ul><li><a href="https://www.coindesk.com/iranian-women-learn-solidity-with-grants-from-consensys" target="_blank">https://www.coindesk.com/iranian-women-learn-solidity-with-grants-from-consensys</a></li><li><a href="https://coiniran.com/empowering-iranian-women-with-blockchain" target="_blank">https://coiniran.com/empowering-iranian-women-with-blockchain/</a></li><li><a href="https://smartcontract.coiniran.com" target="_blank">https://smartcontract.coiniran.com/</a></li></ul> Project Description Women in Blockchain Iran aspires to empower Farsi speaking population, and specially women in programming fields (who are largely restricted by language barriers) to participate in the global decentralized finance and blockchain ecosystem.&nbsp;Women in Blockchain Iran aims to achieve this through a mentored online course that teaches Farsi speaking individuals the fundamentals of blockchain and smart contract development using Solidity and DeFi.&nbsp;&nbsp;Farsi is spoken by an estimated 110 million speakers mostly in Iran, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Iraq, Russia, Azerbaijan and Afghanistan. In some of these countries, the language has other official names such as Dari in Afghanistan and Tajik in Tajikistan. We require funds to pay for expenses and salaries for the team (The 7 women graduated from Academy bootcamp), to spend 3 months preparing the course (Completing the syllabus, videos, translating development documentations, etc) and the next 3 months teaching the course online.&nbsp; The graduates of this course will be able to develop smart contracts that integrate the most recent DeFi protocols, such as using Oracle price from ChainLink, trade tokens within the developed DApps on multiple decentralized exchanges, such as Uniswap, 1inch, SushiSwap and others.

Fundación Madre Tierra Verde (FMTV) aims to contribute to Costa Rica's transition to a green and intelligent society paradigm, following the guidelines of the National Climate Change Strategy (ENCC) and the Decarbonization Plan, through the guidance, advice and equipment of companies, organizations, communities, and governments. Based on the climate change agenda, we focus on the following axes of work: capacity building and technology transfer, financing, public awareness, and culture creation.

The Colorado Multiversity project is an initiative that seeks to create an academic and research space with a methodology focused on people and their interaction with the environment, with partnerships and collaborations with projects, organizations and initiatives that feed on content to be able to train and empower communities on issues that benefit the Sustainable Development Goals. 

The multiversity campus consists of more than 1000 Ha at the Barra del Colorado National Wildlife Refuge in Pococí, Limón, at the North Caribean of Costa Rica, and at the outset will have facilities to accommodate up to 50 students, starting with the Disaster Care program in conjunction with Refuge Project, the Citizen Innovation Laboratory in conjunction with SIFAIS Lab and the Precision Agriculture Training Center , in addition to the Volunteering Programs with universities in the United States and Europe and the Community Precious Plastic Collection Center. 

This project is supported by the Spanish Cooperation, Gaia Gives, SDG Impact Fund, the United Nations International Organization for Migration. The need for capital is to start the infrastructure development project while reaching the necessary progress to receive the contributions of international cooperation and starting to operate with the first programs in June 2021.

Next, we share a video that we prepare to better illustrate what the project is about.

As much of the world still waits for a vaccine, handwashing is the first line of defense against the coronavirus. But millions of people throughout the world, do not have access to soap and water for handwashing. 750 Million people in fact. 

During 2020, when COVID took over our lives, we scaled up our existing projects to better serve the community. From portable handwashing stations, to "no touch" sinks and radio broadcasts, our teams looked at what was needed and got to work. 

And that work is still going on now and will go on. The pandemic only reinforced the importance of clean water, handwashing, hygiene and decent toilets for the health of a community. 

We won't stop until everyone, everywhere has clean water, decent toilets and hygiene supplies and knowledge. We have reached 26.4 million people so far and we're only just getting started. 

Be part of the solution now to save lives tomorrow.

The idea arose in Berlin, a couple living in the German capital had a spare room in their home and instead of publishing it on any real estate portal, they informed some organisations that worked with refugees on the rental conditions (price, minimum period stay, deposit, etc.) and finally shared an apartment on equal terms with a refugee. A lot of their friends thought that the idea was great and in a short time a large number of people wanted to offer their available rooms to a displaced person. On equal terms, without paternalistic views, as friends and flatmates. In Spain, the platform was born in August 2015 with a clear objective: to create spaces for coexistence between the refugees and the local population. A group of people in Spain contacted the German team and decided to replicate the model by adapting it to the Spanish reality. People who are forced to move and leave their home for a safety reason should not be stigmatised or excluded by being housed in crowded places or centres. Therefore, our role is to put in contact displaced persons (mainly asylum seekers and people with granted status) in the appropriate moment of their status in the Reception System, with local citizens who they want to share a home with them in conditions of horizontality and mutual respect. Right now the international network of Refugees Welcome is present in 16 countries: 13 of the EU (Germany, Austria, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Netherlands, Poland, Italy, Republic Czech, Romania, Northern Ireland and France) and Canada, Australia and Japan. There have been more than 1,600 flat shares, more than 100 of them in Spain, where there are right now 6 territorial teams in the cities of Barcelona, ​​Madrid, Mallorca, Valencia, Murcia and A Coruña. The goal is to be operational in many more cities in the long term as we have demand and needs throughout the territory. <div class="ql-video-wrapper"><iframe class="ql-video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1yq_T-Q9ih0?showinfo=0"></iframe></div>

Streetside Syntropic.

We empower people and communities around the world to plant their streetsides with food.  Using Permaculture and Syntropic farming techniques, fruit trees, edible plants, and other companion plants are combined to create a circular and regenerative food system.

Why Streetside?

All over the world there are streets with empty sides. We convert these spaces into micro food forests to provide free food for the community and spread the message of Syntropic techniques. Planting in this way also builds habitat for wildlife and restores ecological diversity.

Why Syntropic?

It is one of the most successful and harmonious growing methods for rehabilitating land and growing food. Syntropic agriculture mimics the evolution of a forest and uses techniques to accelerate growth, generate biomass to build soil, and continuously remove CO2 from the air. 

This successional planting method is a permanent and evolving system that provides food forever.


How It Works?

We provide Syntropic education, step-by-step guidance, and micro-grants to help communities  start and maintain a fruitful streetside. These teams use social media to share the evolution of their planting journey while also seeding Syntropic knowledge worldwide. We use discord as a forum to discuss, share, and learn together. We provide 100% transparency with donation allocation and use of funds. 501c3 coming soon.

We currently have 3 streetsides planted in Costa Rica with 2 more waiting to be planted. We are also developing a community food forest on a donated piece of land. This is the pilot project for phase 2. We are currently seeking donations for website development, 501c3 incorporation, legal advice, tools, seeds/trees, water tanks, irrigation drip line, and $100USD/month for 1 person.

Thank you for your contributions to help heal soil, sequester carbon, and grow food for the world!

Spread the Love takes the “helpless” out of America’s homeless crisis by bridging the divide between those experiencing homelessness and those who wish to help. Founder, Wren Fialka, asked a man experiencing homelessness ONE simple question 6 years ago: <div class="ql-video-wrapper"><iframe class="ql-video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Rnv06EXoH9U?showinfo=0"></iframe></div> “If there was a bag of items that I could bring you tomorrow that would make your day-to-day life easier, what would be in that bag?” She continues to ask this question, so this eye-opening list is the list Spread the Love still uses today. There are between 600,000 and 1.5 million people currently experiencing homelessness in the U.S. According to The Hill (hill.tv) from March 1, 2021, “11 million additional households could face homelessness as Covid-19 protections expire.” Wren Fialka and a dedicated group of volunteers have personally served more than 30 communities in need across the U.S. With 1 employee, 1 trusty Honda Element, and a growing number of passionate supporters, Spread the Love has provided hope, health, and awareness for this growing demographic comprised of people from all walks of life. Now, it’s time for Spread the Love to grow. Imagine where we can go with your help. The Top 5 Reasons the U.S. has a Homeless Crisis are: Lack of affordable housingLack of a living wageA tragic life eventdeath in the familyloss of jobnatural or man-made disasterdomestic violenceA major illness or accidentmental or physicalSubstance abuse SOLUTION: With Spread the Love’s simple 3-pronged approach, Connection, Compassion, and Vital Supplies (<a href="https://spreadlovebygiving.org/our-model/)," target="_blank">https://spreadlovebygiving.org/our-model/),</a> their mission helps heal this crisis from the inside out. By breaking the stigma of homelessness and the invisible wall between those inside its pain cycle and those who can offer a hand up, this approach continues to prove itself with one success story after another. With your support, Spread the Love will continually find better, more sustainable, and compassionate ways to end this crisis once and for all.

Njombe, located at the southwest of Tanzania, is the capital of Njombe region. Around 100,000 people live in this town and the number has been rapidly growing in the past years.As in many other places in Tanzania, solid waste management is a challenge in Njombe. 35 tons of solid waste are generated daily in the town: 28 tons are taken to a dumpsite, where the waste is usually burnt since the dumpsite is getting full faster than expected. The rest of the waste is burnt in pits at the backyards or it simply ends up in the environment. 10 % of the solid waste is plastic waste: 3,500 kg of per day, which is equal to 1000 tons of plastic waste every year. The SMART Centre approach (train and support local entrepreneurs in developing their businesses around simple and affordable technologies) has already proved to be successful for water technologies. Precious Plastic "gave" us the blueprints to replicate this approach with plastic recycling technologies and tackle the plastic waste problematic locally. Njombe Beyond´s objective is to reduce the plastic wasted in Njombe town and to raise awareness in the local community about the problems and opportunities around plastic. Our specific objectives are:- To establish a sustainable value chain for plastic recycling locally and at small scale- To collaborate with the different stakeholders of the chain and ensure fair working conditions- To involve the community, including schools, in Njombe Beyond to shed light on the problems and opportunities of plastic waste <div class="ql-video-wrapper"><iframe class="ql-video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://d.tube/#!/v/mettodo/0bihjfcoft5"></iframe></div> <a href="https://app.glassfrog.com/organizations/16369" target="_blank">This is how we organise</a> You are welcome to <a href="https://github.com/Mettodo/Njombe-Beyond" target="_blank">contribute</a> and be part of Njombe Beyond network, wherever in the world you are!

We purchased a bus to renovate into an RV for housing and travel. COVID's effects hit us hard. What started off as an attempt to create a sustainable housing solution morphed into a resource to help our community understand and benefit from the power of cryptocurrency.

Many ideas were circulated in the bus, but we finalized on a passion project for our family and our community: The Block Bus is a mobile training program that teaches blockchain technology. The bus will house learning stations that educate community members on cryptocurrency. 

There is a digital revolution happening and we believe the families who need access aren’t being reached - that will change with The Block Bus, starting right on our block. The social fabric of West Oakland being the focus and what we prioritize in this space. Start small, start local.

We have dipped our toe in community personal/professional development projects by meeting our neighbors in their strengths and supporting their work. The Block Bus will recruit 25 families to assist in setting up the beginning infrastructure to participate in the cryptocurrency market. In return, community members will commit to sharing their skills, time or social capital to create a space in the bus and around our community where building happens.

1909 is a non-profit co-working space &amp; incubator in West Palm Beach that has built an app to gamify entrepreneurship through a point system that promotes competitive cooperation between our members. The single biggest challenge startups face, relative to established businesses, is a lack of specialization. Established companies hire specialists to fill specific roles, while startup founders lack the funds to do so. We try to compensate by becoming ‘jacks of all trades’, taking on side jobs to pay contractors, or throwing sweat equity around to attract partners. However, all of these approaches are extremely inefficient. The game we’ve created is designed specifically to solve this problem through a ‘Positive-Sum’ game theory approach. By incentivizing collaboration and aligning the interests of a large group of entrepreneurs, each with different skills and expertise, every player can gain access to the specialization they need long before they have the funds to hire a team.

Black Love Mural Festival in an annual festival hosted at the Civic Center in downtown Denver, Colorado. In two years we have fundraised over $75,000 to be able to pay 93 artists to paint murals in between our city and state capital buildings. The mission of the festival is to engage, inspire, and educate. In addition to the multi month mural installation, we host community events that support musicians, installation artists, lighting designers, and vendors. The festival was born out of the George Floyd protests as a form of direct action of uplifting and supporting the Black arts community. Since the festival was launched many artists have formed crucial friendships, collaborators, and new clients through the continuing strength of the community. In 2021 we put in a proposal to the unique.one community for their native token $RARE. We were able to pay 25 out of the 60 participating artists in cryptocurrency and help them mint their first NFT, and preserved the festival digitally. Any eth raised would go towards our volunteer team to compensate them for their endless support, and to continue educating and onboarding the BLMF arts community into cryptocurrency, NFTs, and blockchain technology. We believe in building generational wealth, especially in minority communities, and we believe in cryptocurrency and blockchain to help continue to create solutions to empower a better future for artists. We have paid the gas fees for dozens of artists to mint their first NFT, helped them understand how to set up a wallet, exchange, transfer, and add tokens. We want to continue and expand this work!

Persistently embarking in the flow of life by facilitating transformative events on bamboo building, permaculture, sacred silliness, and exploration into self. The Morphian family is a nomadic intentional community, which is a new take on creating bonds with one another while exploring the vast world around us. Rooted in 2014, we found ourselves tucked away in the lush jungles of Costa Rica on 5.2 hectares of beachfront magic surrounded by indescribable primal energy from the rainforest. Finca Morpho began with a primary permaculture focus. Over the years we have managed to maintain many aspects of the permaculture principles while simultaneously growing into more practices centered on self-love.&nbsp;&nbsp; We offer a unique experience to sit with nature, others, and alone. To let go, recharge, and integrate. The jungle never stops and we’d love to upgrade a few areas of the farm! We have 7 Pillars on the farm. The Kitchen, The Resource Center, Permaculture, Hospitality, Infrastructure, Project Management, &amp; Relationships. While we don’t need funding for every pillar, here’s a list of all the resources we are calling in for them!&nbsp; The Kitchen is the heart of our community, and since it’s the center of the most action, it’s also the place where certain key items are essential to maintain the optimal health and well-being of our members. We incorporate as much farm-to-table as possible and are most usually keen to try new recipes and processing techniques to provide food and medicine for our family.We are calling in; a blender, stove, and equipment. <img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmTe9LLoKB98oQS591Gx66VoQJiDvc2X6wfBwaDBMxQuj9"> The Resource Center is one of our most inspiring and intriguing spaces on the farm. For the past 7 years, all trash produced on the farm has stayed on the farm and has been processed in our Resource Center. The only exception to this is that we have given metals and other valuable items that the local Recycling center will buy from you. We utilized the wonderful concepts of Ecobricks &amp; Ubuntu Blox, turning what most think of as “trash” into building resources! We have already used many in a communal cob structure, as well as a composting toilet design. We also sort all of our plastic by number, dreaming of the day we have a 3D printer, to further our mission of changing the narrative on “trash”.For our resource center, we are calling in; upgrading the space, precious plastic shredder, precious plastic extruder, 3d printer, hoolaone, and microscope. <img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/Qmbdd6VsZwnemhQc1vh3ooHaR9saXrfEVtbT3CVL1AZpzx"> Permaculture is the pillar that truly birthed the farm. If it wasn’t for Joshua and Ticon’s passion to learn and experiment, Finca Morpho would not be where we are today. The farm used to be a rice field, and then a cow pasture. Over the course of 7 years, with a lot of love, dedication, and desire to implement positive change, the farm has transformed into a permaculture oasis. We have a variety of fruit trees that produce at different times of the year, a nursery with an aquaponics system, composting systems for our food scrapes and humanure, as well as a soil sanctuary where we build up nutrients in the soil to introduce into our gardens.&nbsp;For the sake of Permaculture we are calling in; seeds, baby trees &amp; plants to further work towards food sovereignty. Infrastructure is something we constantly have to maintain. The farm runs on a 21-panel solar system. We have about 13 cabins, a communal kitchen, resource center, 6 composting toilets, a bodega, a communal rainbow house, a surf rack, a beach platform, and an epic yoga shala. Many of these structures are long-standing and could use some TLC.&nbsp;We are calling in; upgrading our solar system - new batteries, new panels - upgrading some of our cabins, as well as acquiring and installing water storage, and completing the yoga shall. <img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmWevgccYshJnqUgXspsLcwJgVs51KcsPijLyEAHmFmUNc"> Your contribution supports the continuity of the farm to hold space for a new way of being in this fast-changing world.

Mission: To save, rehabilitate,&nbsp;and place&nbsp;at risk&nbsp;homeless&nbsp;pets&nbsp;into the right forever homes, changing their lives for the better. Hundreds of dogs and cats&nbsp;are euthanized on a daily basis in California shelters due to a lack of space and the reality of pet overpopulation. Many roam the streets&nbsp;and their fates are uncertain. We are dedicated to making a difference&nbsp;and turning the unwanted into the wanted! Kat's Dog Rescue is dedicated to saving homeless&nbsp;strays from local neighborhoods,&nbsp;dogs from high kill shelters that are in danger of being euthanized for space,&nbsp;and&nbsp;animals from people who can no longer care for their pets. Our rescue has successfully saved, rehabilitated, and placed over 300 animals since 2011. We continue to make a difference and be the voice for these helpless creatures, who count on us for help!

For the past 10+ years, the Fraternal Order of Porcupines has operated a clubhouse and community center, catering to the libertarian community in Southern New Hampshire. If you've ever visited for Porcfest or Liberty Forum, you've likely heard tell of the Quill. If you've lived in the Merrimack Valley, you have come to know how Important The Quill has been - not just as a community center, but as a base for activism and outreach over the years, serving host to the monthly Free State Project New Mover's Parties as well as monthly agorist Market Days for the Community.&nbsp;&nbsp; Well, after 11 years on Manchester's West Side, the iconic clubhouse has come up against a confluence of events that are forcing us to reevaluate its future. The lease on the club's commercial space is ending, and the property manager has informed us that the owner of the club"s building intends to sell the building. With so much in flux simultaneously, the future of the community center is in doubt. A working group of members and community leaders have been investigating options for the club's future, including looking at alternative properties as well as the possibility of purchasing the current building. Ideally, the club would own the future property, to bring permanence to our 10+ year history. We want to make sure that there will always be a permanent place for the Southern New Hampshire Libertarian Community to congregate. Our Initial Goal is $700,000 for the purchase of our current building or another suitable property or $300,000 to finance the property with a traditional mortgage. The Fraternal Order of Porcupines is a registered Non-Profit Corporation with the State of New Hampshire,&nbsp;and The Quill operates as a membership-driven social club and community center.

Nearly 1 in 3 Americans struggle with medical debt, a uniquely American injustice. Medical debt prevents people from achieving financial stability and can <a href="https://www.westhealth.org/press-release/survey2018/" target="_blank" class="ql-size-large">even discourage them from pursuing medical care.</a> <a href="https://ripmedicaldebt.org/" target="_blank" class="ql-size-large">RIP Medical Debt</a> seeks to&nbsp;end medical debt&nbsp;on a systemic level, freeing&nbsp;individuals&nbsp;and families from the stress of unpaid bills and the burden of crushing debt.&nbsp;We use precise data analytics to pinpoint the medical debt of those most in need of relief. When we purchase a portfolio of medical debt, we abolish debt for individuals&nbsp;who meeting at least one of the following criteria:<ul><li>Earn less than 2x the federal poverty level (varies by state, family size).</li><li>Debts are 5 percent or more of annual income.</li><li>Facing insolvency — debts are greater than assets.</li></ul> We use your donation to buy debt in bundled portfolios, millions of dollars at a time at a fraction of the original cost. On average, a $1 dollar donation abolishes $100 dollars' worth of medical debt. People across the country receive a letter that their debt is gone. No taxes. No penalties. Just like that, they’re free of medical&nbsp;debt. RIP Medical Debt is a registered 501(c)(3). Since our founding in 2014, we have relieved over $5 billion dollars' worth of medical debt. <div class="ql-video-wrapper"><iframe class="ql-video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OSk8xDd2GbU?showinfo=0"></iframe></div>

RIP Medical Debt

Unleashing the potential of local youth to transform social challenges into social enterprises. <a href="https://www.smartcentretanzania.or.tz/index.php/njombe-innovation-academy/" target="_blank">Njombe Innovation Academy</a> replicates the <a href="https://socialinnovationacademy.org/our-model/" target="_blank">social innovation academy (SINA) model</a> in Njombe (Tanzania). DescriptionNjombe region´s main economic activities are agriculture (76.3% of GDP) and livestock keeping. Local youth have few employment opportunities. Around 10% are unemployed and face unfavourable conditions to become entrepreneurs; hence, they usually engage in informal and unstable income-generating activities such as “mishe mishe” (daily small jobs) or seasonal farming. Youth who have not completed secondary or higher education (41% are out of school in secondary) are the most affected since they lack the skills and network to create or find decent income-generating activities. At the same time, Njombe faces social challenges such as malnutrition (levels of stunting are 49.4 %), HIV (11.4% prevalence) or poverty (GDP/capita 10% lower than the national level). Could we create an environment where local youth gain the tools and mindset to transform the challenges that surround them into social enterprises? SINA has the answer.&nbsp; <div class="ql-video-wrapper"><iframe class="ql-video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KOEXSSZT3sI?showinfo=0"></iframe></div> The <a href="https://socialinnovationacademy.org/our-model/" target="_blank">SINA model</a> has proven that through a cost-effective and “freesponsible” community approach, marginalized youth can become self-reliant and can create a future for themselves through social enterprises, which in turn disrupt the root causes of social problems. Skills are gained by taking up responsibilities within self-organization in a SINA community. Youth grow personally and professionally while putting learned tools immediately into practice. Social enterprises which emerged range from<a href="https://socialinnovationacademy.org/enterprise/uganics/" target="_blank"> organic mosquito repellant soap</a> to<a href="https://socialinnovationacademy.org/enterprise/upcycle-africa/" target="_blank"> construction out of plastic bottles</a> or a flooring solution from plastic bags and eggshells. SINA scholars have gone as far as being recognized by the Queen of England, Obama or Ban Ki-moon as changemakers and social entrepreneurs. This model has already been replicated in countries other than its origin, Uganda; thus, planting a “SINA model seed” in Njombe will probably lead to additional self-organized spaces for social entrepreneurship across Tanzania. The ecosystem in Njombe is ready for SINA: there is political will, learning spaces and technologies, innovators and the interest of local youth who are already paying to attend training offered by Mzee Pwagu and SHIPO. A social innovation academy will be the space to bring together local (young) actors, provide them with additional skills and create a self-sustaining ecosystem that turns local challenges into social enterprises.&nbsp;&nbsp; Theory of ChangeThe desired impact is an increased number of social challenges tackled in Njombe by youth-led enterprises with locally available resources. In order to achieve that we will bootstrap a self-organised community of youth in Njombe who commonly owns and manages resources (material, knowledge, financial, social) to create social enterprises out of challenges (outcome). It is assumed that the potential and leadership to create positive social and environmental impact of local youth will be unleashed through the SINA model. Expected outputs after 2 years:<ol><li>10 local youth (scholars) are capacitated to become coaches and mentors of future cohorts (3 in Uganda and 7 in Njombe). It is assumed that scholars trained in Uganda have incentives to create a SINA community in Njombe.</li><li>At least 20 scholars trained per year who create 5 social enterprises per year. It is assumed that successful scholars and enterprises have incentives to continue to contribute to the SINA community in Njombe.</li><li>Mechanisms for the sustainability of the academy are in place. It is assumed that those mechanisms create the required culture (freedom and responsibility, knowledge sharing and mutual support, shared finances, shared materials and space, teamwork &amp; collaboration) for the sustainability of the community.</li></ol> Milestones&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<ul><li>3 young people from Njombe complete SINA´s 5 stage replication process in Uganda - 8,000 USD</li><li>Space and materials ready in Njombe, including water, food and electricity provision systems - 20,000 USD</li><li>1st and 2nd cohorts of scholars in Njombe - 15,000 USD</li><li>1st social enterprise registered in Njombe</li><li>An enterprise has a 2 million TZS turnover</li><li>1st cohort of certified trainers</li><li>Secured funding to run another year</li></ul> Strategic approach &amp; sustainability2-3 youth (at least 1 woman) will stay at SINA in Uganda for 9 months to become equipped with all the skills and tools necessary to replicate the model in Njombe. In the meantime, in Njombe, the learning space will be arranged, materials will be procured, SINA Njombe will be registered, local mentors and coaches will be selected and a selection process will be carried out to select 20 participants of the first cohort in Njombe. At least 50% of the selected participants will be women, 15% will be people with disabilities and all of them will come from marginalised and/or poor backgrounds.Within NIA´s first 2 years, two cohorts of scholars will undergo <a href="https://socialinnovationacademy.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/SINA-Replication-Partnership-2020-3.pdf" target="_blank">SINA´s empowerment process</a> (one cohort each year) while living together and co-creating a self-organised, commons-based, feminist and transparent community with open source principles, benefiting from the experience of those youth who stayed in Uganda. Their enterprises will then move into the incubation phase. Before the second cohort starts a “train-the-trainer” training will take place where scholars will get ready to become the life-coaches, mentors, training facilitators and self-management trainers of the second cohort. In the short term we will look for donations (e.g. local business people). In the medium term social enterprises "born" at NIA will be the main source of income, with donations matched by Panvala and we will experiment with tokenisation or community currencies. Implementation arrangementsLocal youth are the key project agents: they are not “passive beneficiaries” but active agents who lead the creation of a SINA community in Njombe. The other agents offer a conducive environment and provide support and expertise in required topics. This arrangement has already been successfully implemented to replicate SINA communities in Zimbabwe or DRC, to mention a few. It allows youth to gain skills by taking up responsibilities within self-organization in a SINA community and to grow personally and professionally while putting learned tools immediately into practice.All the agents will walk the talk and self-organise with Holacracy, a SHIPO representative filling the lead link role. All the agents will walk the talk and self-organise with Holacracy. Hence, decision-making (including the chanelling of funds) will be consent-based and transparent.

Civichub is a  pre-acceleration program which has taken place twice so far. The first iteration in 2018 consisted of 6 in-person weekend sprints in the volcanic region of La Garrotxa (Girona, Catalonia), the second version of the course took place in 2020-21 online.

During these two sessions, more than 40 startups, social movements, cyber activists, corporate and government teams came together to boost and cross-pollinate their  civic innovation, distributed governance and decentralized technology projects.

We learned about facilitation, open source hardware and software, how to decentralise organisations, how to create platform cooperatives, community resilience, the philosophical implications of AI, blockchain and Holochain, and much more. The participants were exposed to many ideas and technologies that they would probably not have encountered otherwise.

These initial two iterations of Civichub were sponsored by the Catalan and local governments. Now we want to become more autonomous as a project, reduce the bureaucracy, and make the content more accessible to everyone.

To do this, our plan is to put the recordings of the previous course on Udemy or a similar learning platform and make it available online for a low price. With the funds generated we hope to repeat the full course again in-person with new teachers. Your contribution will allow us to spend time editing and preparing the video course, and any surplus will go towards the next in-person version of Civichub.

We are a non-profit educational group founded in 2015 to educate Farsi* speakers on blockchain technology, and remove the language barrier into developing applications using distributed technologies. One of the main limitations to access such technology, financial freedom and bank the unbanked are lack of resources and language barrier; we are trying to close that gap for Farsi speakers.

Current economic thinking not only presupposes a detachment between personal self-interest and planetary health, it falsely positions them in a diametrically opposed, zero-sum, rivalrous end-game. This fatal flaw of modern economics now threatens to collapse the quality of all life on Earth. To put it bluntly, we seem to love our money more than life itself (but this is love nonetheless, so we can work with it).&nbsp;This Oika project solves the detachment problem using the principles of decentralized, crypto-tech to recouple personal wealth to planetary health. This conceptual maneuver is the core value-proposition of Oika. It's really a hack to convert currency maximalism into a basis for healing (in meme-speak it would be #TapTheMax). <img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmcXLg7xhuF9r5eoWi5FvhbHBTg6MT6A57B6Bw6rHok6Ww"> Enter Crypto:The blockchain has emerged as humanity’s attempt to carve out a new economic universe. While the mechanics of the blockchain provide a decentralized, transparent and resilient record of transactions, its philosophy also suggests a new path for human and planetary prosperity. The blockchain is more than a store of value, or a history of transactions, it is the foundation for a beautiful future.<blockquote class="ql-indent-1">The ledger not only records what we own but also who we are and what we care about. -- Dr. Rich Blundell</blockquote> How it works﻿This Oika project supports collaborations of ecologists and artists to create artworks that embed Ecological Intelligence into the Ethereum 2.0 blockchain. We seek this funding to train and new Oika artists and commission new NFT projects using the following collaborative workflow:<img src="https://gateway.pinata.cloud/ipfs/QmT8m4bHAiqFZ6ErrrqGGcaCZk2nZjFQbTkUWr9QmD7ZeY">Beyond that, our plan is to Trojan-horse the principles of Ecological Intelligence (the creativity of nature) into the blockchain in order to realign culture and nature. We are doing this by commissioning new, physical and NFT artworks that embed subjective, conceptual and real-world ecological data.&nbsp;Our algorithm ensures deep creativity, real-world ecological impact and high cultural value. Our approach seeks to avoid the “public goods” dilemma and the apocalypse coupled to it.

<a href="http://www.thedaoist.co" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">WWW.THEDAOIST.CO</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/TheDAOist_" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@TheDAOist_</a> ﻿The video below is an excerpt from our second Ecosystem Call on the 27th of September 2021, where our core team member Felipe shares The DAOist metaplan. Everything is in work in progress and everyone is invited to co-create this community. <div class="ql-video-wrapper"><iframe class="ql-video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/u8YZRtNzPhY?showinfo=0"></iframe></div> <h1>About the project&nbsp;</h1> The DAOist is a global collective that develops and evangelizes the DAO lifestyle. A relevant percentage of the work happens in meatspace, a relevant percentage of the work happens in the metaverse and a relevant percentage of the decision making will be on-chain. The DAOist is a movement that pushes the expansion of DAOs and produces cultural (public) goods that facilitate on-boarding and help foster relationships with legacy institutions. It manifests and nurtures common spaces where purposeful collaboration can flourish.&nbsp; It aims to establish itself as a DAO and borderless think tank for the decentralized future before the end of 2022. We do have big plans. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" - Tao Te Ching (The Book of the Way and of Virtue").&nbsp; We have started our journey. Here are our first steps: <h2>Step 1.a: The DAOist Paris. 23rd of July 2021</h2> That's where everything has started. We planned to create a space for DAOists to share knowledge, learn from each other, celebrate steps that every community member makes every day towards a decentralized future. The event went successfully: around 400 participants, 8 hours of talks &amp; workshops, afterparty; we've got positive feedback but the most important - we've detected a need for something like the DAOist. Something that can bring the community together. <a href="https://www.thedaoist.co/past-events" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="ql-size-large">Click here to see what happened that day and watch all the talks.&nbsp;</a> <h2>Step 1.b: The DAOist Lisbon. 19th of October 2021</h2> We were still digesting the Paris experience and weren't planning any events. However, we had too many requests about an event in Lisbon. Here we are - planning the DAOist Lisbon. The mission of this event is to bring more inspiration into the decentralized world and change the basic understanding of "crypto conferences."&nbsp;&nbsp; <h2>Step 2. Educational platform + community&nbsp;</h2> We want to document the way and share it with the seekers of the knowledge. The community curates the content. For now, we have a YouTube channel with a collection of talks from the leaders of DAOspace. Recently we created a collaboration space for the community by launching a discord channel. <h1> </h1>
