Somerville Resilience and Resistance Circle

In these uncertain times, the Great Recession has reminded us of our vulnerabilities. Unemployment and Anxious Employment. Debt. Foreclosure. Evaporating Savings. Rising Costs. Job Insecurity. In response, Resilience Circles (also called Common Security Clubs) are forming around the country! Together, these circles of people learn about the causes of the economic and ecological challenges and how to face them, while simultaneously building relationships that strengthen our communities and build the potential for mutual aid and shared action We see ourselves as part of a larger effort to create a fair and healthy economy that works for everyone. And we'd love it if you'd join us! Our meeting will be low-key and friendly and we'd love to meet you!
