- Affect positive change together
Gain Independence
Aim to gradually lessen your dependence on external systems. Steps include:
- Trading locally
- Creating or growing your own essentials
- Standing up for your values and beliefs
Take Action
To fight against a system built on dependence, focus on these goals:
