On April 17, Bay Localize and Transition San Francisco co-hosted the Bay Area's first Community Resilience Workshop.

Local leaders from around the region dug in to evaluate resilience in their communities, identify priorities, and plot campaigns to create change.

The San Francisco breakout group launched new commitments to strengthen local food systems, folks from the south and north parts of the Bay took on transportation, and Transition Santa Cruz conspired to repeat the training in its region.

Bay Localize is excited to partner with Movement Generation and CommuniTree later this month on a community resilience and power building workshop at the U.S. Social Forum in Detroit, with Ella Baker Center's Soul of the City campaign on a workshop this fall, and a participatory theater-style presentation with Bay Localize's own artist-in-residence Rosa Gonzalez!

We're actively looking for more community partners to co-present workshops, especially groups organizing in low-income populations and communities of color. Contact Kirsten at kirsten@baylocalize.org.
