In our first clip from the Angela Dawson interview, she talked about why 40 Acre Co-op needed to be created.

Collaborative, collective partnerships generate community-based wealth and health.

Ecolutionaries (and yes, we made that word up) are not passive readers who simply “like” stories. They have ideas, resources, and storytellers to share — and are consumers who want to put their dollar where their values are. We ask Collective members:

Ecolution Collective is created by Minnesota Women's Press, a storytelling pioneer since 1985.
