2019 North American Day of Sustainable Communities

June 21, 2019 by Christine Lines Leave a Comment

Background:

European Day of Sustainable Communities will be hosted for the third consecutive year in 2019. The European network called ECOLISE has organized coordination, funding, and website listing participating events. Last year in Europe, communities in 24 countries joined the celebration by organizing over 100 events. The momentum is continuing to grow!

Foundation for Intentional Communties (FIC) aim to launch the first North American Day of Sustainable Communities this year. A small amount of seed funding has been secured from GENNA Alliance, enough to coordinate preliminary activity and gain traction for future years. We will be coordinating with European organizers to help launch the Day.

Mission:

The North American Day of Sustainable Communities is a celebration of local communities taking action for a better, more sustainable world. The first North America Day will be held on September 21, 2019. All those who are working to create a sustainable, resilient and inclusive North America are invited to become co-creators of the day!

2019 Goals:

  • Collaborate with ECOLISE to develop a North American brand for the Day
  • Build a North American Day of Sustainable Communities website
  • Create Community Council to advise planning of the Day
  • Build partnerships with diverse organizations and communities
  • Generate media attention from local to national scales
  • Register 50 community events on the website map
  • Harvest stories, photos, and video from the Day
  • Build momentum for a bigger Day in 2020
Update! On September 21st, there were…
  • 25 communities across North America hosting events
  • 11 organization partners helping to spread the word
  • 85 registrations for the Online Summit
  • The beginnings of an amazing annual celebration!

This gathering has been INCREDIBLE. As a small center based way out in Yosemite National Park, I really feel folded into the greater network. This feels so vital. Thank you for creating this!
