“The Echo Park Time Bank is a collective whose purpose is to facilitate the cooperative exchange of goods and services among its members. It is a pay it forward system that connects unmet needs with untapped resources.

“For every hour you help another member, you earn a Time Dollar. Then you can use that Time Dollar to have a neighbor help you: getting a ride, learning the computer, getting a haircut, gardening, etc. Time Dollars value everyone’s contributions equally. One hour equals one time dollar.

“Time banking can help people to save money, create new friendships and develop new habits as consumers. We can empower each other by sharing the wealth of resources in our community, and by creating a network based on trust.”

How to start a time bank in your neighborhood…

July reunion show review…

Do you run or work at a local food co-op, coffeehouse, all-ages performance venue, bike kitchen, community garden, tattoo parlor, record emporium, head shop, microbrew tavern, arthouse cinema, local theater, treehouse on the edge of town, artspace or some other kind of free-thinking, autonomous, non-corporate joint?

Would you like to have a nice warm pile (err…) of Arthur at your spot for the people?

Become a star in the Arthur Constellation, which is just like being one of the Thousand Points of Light, except you actually do stuff that helps people.

Here’s how it works: We make Arthur; you pay for it to be shipped to yr spot. In summary, you will:

* Receive Arthur straight from the printer via the fast n efficient FedEx Ground

* Get your joint’s name/location/description/website listed online as part of our Arthur Constellation distro list–sort of an open-source directory of forward-thinkin’ autonomous spaces across the nation

* Get your name/location/description/website listed on the Arthur Constellation Page that runs in every issue of Arthur—again, sort of an open-source directory of forward-thinkin’ autonomous spaces across the nation

This is what it costs:

1 box (100 copies) to USA: $20
2 boxes (200 copies) to USA: $35
1 box (100 Copies) to Canada: $45

“Last Tuesday night was a bitter-sweet celebration. We came together to witness the first black man who will become our president, yet watched in sadness as Florida, Arizona, Arkansas, and California all voted down equal rights for all citizens.

“This is not a four-state issue. This is an issue of equality across America. Stand up and make your voice heard! Visit the main www.jointheimpact.com to learn more, or read our mission statement.”
