“Let’s
take back our economy. Let’s decentralize and democratize it,” Heather
Young said, kicking off the panel called “Building the Alternative” at
the Festival of Grassroots Economics, held September 26 at the Humanist
Hall in Oakland.
Heather Young was one of the main organizers of
the festival, a free, day-long gathering of several hundred Bay Area
people who gathered to meet and discuss how to evolve alternative
economies that benefit working people, support local small businesses,
support pay equity, and address work through the framework of race,
class and privilege. Young, a co-founder of Bay Area Community Exchange
wanted to make sure everyone arriving for the day understood that
finding new economic models was the essence of the festival, whose
slogan was “Building an Economy for the People and the Planet.”
