[Davisgig] Special Release - Breaking the Chains video

[Christopher Mitchell]

*You are getting this because you are subscribed to the Community Broadband
Networks Newsletter from the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. We rarely
send anything aside from the weekly newsletter but wanted to share this
video below. If you are subscribed to other ILSR lists, you may have
already received it - apologies for duplicates.*


As you may know, the Community Broadband Networks Initiative is just one
part of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. We focus on local solutions
to expanding universal high quality Internet access while our colleagues
drill down to apply the concept of the common good to individual economic
sectors: energy, information, waste, business.

We believe economic and political power should be decentralized. To be more
clear, we believe that without local economic power, there cannot be local
political. That is why we fight against large corporate monopolies from
Amazon to Comcast.


Rather than explain in words, I invite you to watch this two-minute
animation.

I
hope it will give you a sense of the coherent philosophy and broader
strategy that links publicly- owned broadband networks and municipal
materials policies with distributed solar power and independent hardware
stores.

*And, if you like what we do, please share the video with others.*

Taking democratic control of our economy, maximizing the common good and
creating a better future is a *big fight.* To win that fight we need
to connect with as many people as we can.

Please also consider making a contribution

to
support our work. ILSR is a small, scrappy organization that punches
way above our weight. Help us stay in the ring.

As always, let me know what you think!
