Common Good Bank

I awoke this morning with the clear realization that I need to support this mission and do all I can in the Nashville area to spread consciousness about what the Common Good Bank represents, the potential for major change at the most fundamental economic level in the lives of those who need it most. As I continue to learn more about the Transition Movement (entirely focused on the combined realities of peak oil and climate change, and on developing community resilience through relationship building, skill networks, asset management systems and resource availability at the local level) and become increasingly aware of the inability of either state legislators or our Federal monetary system to act / operate in support of the common good of the American people, I am convinced that this mission is not only appealing in its vision, but essential if we are to preserve our collective ability to act decisively on our own behalf.
We can no longer afford to remain in denial, or wait in the vain hope that our political and financial systems will somehow change on their own. There is too much vested interest in ensuring that this does not happen. I believe we truly live in a world of abundance, but that such abundance can only be experienced when we redefine our understanding of what that means, to give of ourselves without hesitation, and refuse to believe in separation. The Common Good vision reminds us of this deep, abiding connection we all share with each other and with all of life. Let's move fearlessly forward on making it a reality!
