permiesforequity.wordpress/ Not much of an official launch, but time is short! This is what David and I will be presenting at the North American Permaculture Convergence in a few weeks. I leave tomorrow morning, and will be implementing our curriculm with my 2 week class in Lansing MI before driving to Minnesota to join David and facilitate this conversation with leaders from our continent. Permies for Equity is a growing group of permaculture teachers and practitioners interested in analyzing social patterns within our movement, and apply permaculture principles to our community to address issues of equity, access, and diversity. We see a mandate to examine social patterns in the ethics, the foundation of the movement. Fair Share/Return of Surplus to us means addressing social and economic inequality, learned social behaviors and patterns, and working as allies to reinvest our surplus of privilege to tip the scales towards a more inclusive and egalitarian movement. Much as fish don’t know they swim in water, many of us don’t realize the implicit and assumed social patterns that we are part of. Permies for Equity are dedicated to observing and interacting with these patterns, learning how to create regenerative social patterns that can move permaculture forward with greater diversity, resilience, and humanity on the earth we steward together.
