Mission Statement

Thanks Carlie for the addition of water systems!

thanks for spearheading this Katie!

Thanks again, Katie. I added my suggestions as comments in the Google doc.

Thanks to all of you for the great suggestions!! I'm working on incorporating them all, and will post an updated version of the statement here shortly and update in the Google doc as well of course.

Ok, here's what I've come up with at this point; there's more details in the Google doc. Please feel free to make any changes you'd like. Unfortunately, I've had a family emergency come up that will prevent me from working more on this in the next few days, but I'm happy with whatever form of this you'd all like to move forward with. Thanks again for the great suggestions!

"The mission of the (California Economies Working Group) is to promote community and ecological well-being as the primary measures of economic health. We are a group of students from across the ten University of California campuses pushing our University and the state of California towards community-centered wealth-building and democratic governance in various sectors, such as education, housing, land-use, water, food, energy, and waste systems. We press for the inclusion of multilingual and multiracial histories and cultures within the state of California, the fifth largest economy in the world, through collective and democratic management of its resources, especially those of the largest employer in the state, the University of California. We support policies and practices that strengthen community wealth, health, relationships, and sovereignty."
