Notes from our January 2025 meeting.

By Cathy Brown

19 March 2025

In this session we:

  • explored the third of our three approaches to social change – Building Alternatives
  • were joined by Danni Ebanks-Ingram who shared their experience of co-founding and working with CIVIC SQUARE, as well as by Jo Ind who shared practical insights on co-operatives and local visions, building alternatives in Birmingham.
  • took time to think about what building alternatives means to us and explored what part we have to play as individuals, organisations and as a network what we can do.
