Eco-mUNITY is working to Empower Community Organization at the Neighborhood Level

Thank you, thank you!Hello, we are the founders of Eco-mUNITY, an Empowering Community Organization, and we are empowering Community Organizers. I am Dwayne Beals and I play the part of a.citizen. Thank you, Thank you!

I am NOT from the future!I am Cyd Manro and I play the part of Democracy Catalyst. Oh, and I am NOT from the future.

We wonder what part you might play in your Eco-mUNITY? Right now, we are working to empower community organization! We are on the cusp of a revolutionary shift in how citizens communicate and collaborate. Resources are becoming free and readily available, and pieces of this revolution have already begun coming together.

Unfortunately, single provider, top-down models are threatening citizens’ ability to use this technology to creatively connect and collaborate. So, Eco-mUNITY is building a grass-roots mesh network and collaborative metaverse to empower community organization.

We will do this by engaging in community outreach and by placing InterACT-a-Vision Stations in your community, complete with a community map and the foundation of a mesh network. These can then be used to interactively explore and co-create each Eco-mUNITY. What’s your community issue?
