About
Building a toolkit and network that help people organize, share resources, and build real power outside of existing instutions where they live, grounded in global municipalist practices that are already working in communities right now.
Impact
This project draws on decades of lived practice and real-world examples to help individuals organize, share resources, and build power, connecting local efforts into a growing global network and offering clear pathways for action.
Progress
Presented at the 2018 Fearless Cities Conference and since have presented at other global forums on dual power. Built a Pacific Northwest municipalist coalition and developed research now guiding real-world organizing and community-led initiatives.
Team
I build coalitions and turn complex ideas into real-world practice that people can use. For over 20 years, I have worked across grassroots movements and public systems to help people move from isolation to coordinated action.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
