These curated collections of activist tools are designed to provide a better understanding of the “big picture” of how the global economy impacts society and the environment. As part of Local Future’s overall strategy of “education for action“, these resources can help translate understanding into activism; our wish is that they might inspire you to start or join a project for localization in your community.
In these pages, you’ll find resources that will give you a deeper understanding of globalization and localization. You’ll also find lots of information on ways to get involved in the growing global-to-local movement.
