Cohousing-L Mailing List: Community Activism

[PattyMara Gourley (pattymara]

Dear List,
I have heard of a range of community activism originating from cohousing
communities.  If your community is involved in political, environmental,
social, cultural/arts activism, would you be so kind to reply to me off
list and let me know what you are up to? (send to pattymara [at] juno.com)  I
will compile details and post to the list later.   

Specifically, I would love to hear the details about the two families in
an East coast community who adopted a sibling group of 4 (heard about it
at the last coho conference in Berkeley).   Any other examples of
adoption, foster care outreach?  

 I also need details from Rosewind (Port Townsand, WA) , who have
member(s) who were elected to  political offices (Lynn?), and from
Pintacarri in Australia which is active in housing co-ops and old growth
forest protection (Robyn?).  

Any other examples?

Thanks in advance,
Patty Mara
Tierra Nueva, central CA coast, where Neighbors At Risk, a coalition of
the surrounding neighborhoods close to Tierra Nueva, has been
successfully working together to transform a pesticide-laden factory farm
into a sustainable, community supported "farm without harm".
