This platform, owned and governed by local organizers, disrupts traditional media by channeling resources to on-the-ground communities, prioritizing **local empowerment** over profit-driven models. \n\n[![bloom-Leaders-For-GG22.png](https://i.postimg.cc/nhns4MsM/bloom-Leaders-For-GG22.png)](https://postimg.cc/vcSHMYtd)\n\n*Three heroes in Bloom: [Charles Mugarura](https://bloomnetwork.earth/uganda-jinja), African business genius, [Datu Lanelio Sangcoan](https://bloomnetwork.earth/mindanao) (center), tribal chief of the Higa-onon in the Philippines, and [Flávia Macêdo](https://bloomnetwork.earth/view/distribution-of-agroecological-food-9e1d8aefd922), leader of a successful regional currency project in Brazil.*\n\n* Facilitated an extensive dialogue and healing process with Bloom's global organizers in over 30 countries, designing **a social media system resilient to the power abuses prevalent in dominant financial and governance structures.**\n\n* Co-wrote Bloom's **open source decentralized governance model** [**whitepaper here**](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xZFoS7EHlmPfnAKAOHdbK0FTHBMSrItO/view?usp=drive_link) for community-owned infrastructure for tech companies as well as across sectors like food, energy, and housing.\n\n* Ran our first **Local Action Rewards** funding round, incentivizing **[75+ impact reports](https://bloomnetwork.earth/communityposts)** from local organizers worldwide, distributing **$15,000**. I also built integrations with [Inverter Network](https://www.inverter.network/), [Capsule Wallet](https://www.usecapsule.com/), and [Karma GAP](https://gap.karmahq.xyz/), to make **Web3 participation accessible** to highly non-technical users, while streamlining reporting labor for grassroots leaders and increasing their visibility for grants. \n\n# Education and Growth: \n\nI have provided thousands of hours of business development guidance to cooperatives, venture studios, ecovillages, and other initiatives. This support has played a crucial role in establishing **five stable regional regenerative economies in Uganda, the US, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Brazil.**\n\nLast month **I onboarded over 100 local impact doers to Web3 for the first time,** through our **[Regenerative Economic Protocol](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xZFoS7EHlmPfnAKAOHdbK0FTHBMSrItO/view?usp=drive_link)** that leapfrogs extractive \"impact capitalism\" and establishes **lasting, place-based regenerative economies** at both bioregional and global levels. \n\nI played \"human switchboard\", sharing Local nodes' innovations with each other between the time our previous CEO suddenly took our social network down in 2012, and 2022. Our platform now facilitates direct **peer-to-peer education across diverse issue areas** our nodes have prototyped successful solutions in.\n\nLastly, I trained for three years with Radical Women in **women’s leadership and decentralized governance.** I apply these principles to building decentralized finance tools, including a grants tool for the Ethereum Foundation. \n\n\n# Operational Support \n\nSince 2011, **I’ve contributed over $500,000 of voluntary labor to build Bloom’s regenerative platform and brand framework.**\n\n* **Technical Capacity Building**: business development, grant writing, accounting, and interpersonal collective troubleshooting for Local Organizers.\n* **Team Coordination**: Led teams of dozens of professionals ([Join us!](https://bloomnetwork.earth/bloomers-without-borders)) to develop a community-designed social platform. Where we lacked funding or talent, I upskilled to execute frontend development, design, and administration.\n* **Revenue Sustainability**: Positioned Bloom Network to become revenue-positive given, hopefully soon, strategic capital investment.\n\nThe cohesive operational support we’ve established as a global collective has enabled Bloom to be **a driving force in the regenerative and bioregional movements for over 16 years.**\n\nPlease support [Meg Rivers](https://explorer.gitcoin.co/#/projects/0x2d674f18f9a3351f4865e6094c124ba38a89894f419529901713d7426082e064) and [Danibelle Gennety](https://explorer.gitcoin.co/#/projects/0x5a792471fdc8cefb41618e763c5cbf14d6570c40ad798b39a9c860b621ba1f23)’s Regen Citizen grant listings. They have contributed to Bloom Network since 2008 and 2013, respectively, based on world class careers in global telecomms, tech, and grants management, while being a single mother and grandmother.\n\n# Impact on Local Communities and Bioregions\n\nMy event production and local contributions have catalyzed **3 global movements** alongside Bloom. I've been a local community organizer for 25 years. In the San Francisco Bay Area, I fostered collaboration between artists, activists, and technologists through events series like HiveMind, which blended elements of a hackathon, festival, and church.\n\n* Facilitated connections that led to the **[successful decriminalization of plant-based entheogens](https://www.decriminalizenature.org/) in 10 cities**, with over 100 cities engaging in similar policy efforts.\n* **Regen-Pilled Benjamin Life** , who went on to start [OpenCivics](https://opencivics.substack.com/about).\n* Diverse movement leaders shared resources and methodologies to advance their missions and businesses.\n* In the Northeast U.S. (Dawnlands), I am helping to build a ** bioregional finance facility**  in collaboration with the Design School for Regenerating Earth and the BioFi project. \n\n[![Mage-Organizing2013to2024.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/0NJYT7jN/Mage-Organizing2013to2024.jpg)](https://postimg.cc/NyB2T91h)\n*2013:2024 - Chris Tittle, [Sustainable Economies Law Center](https://www.theselc.org/), leading a workshop at Hivemind at Cloud9 in Berkeley; NE BioFi initiation meeting at Foundation House, Greenwich CT.*\n\nFeedback from events I’ve produced has been overwhelmingly positive: **“life-changing,” “the most generative gathering of the pre-COVID era,” and “the most high-value gathering I’ve ever attended.”**\n\nThe outcomes of my work **empower communities to develop regenerative economies**, sustain local businesses, and promote decentralized, nature-based governance.\n\n\n# What makes me most excited… \n\nis thinking about Bloom transitioning from voluntary status to a fully resourced force.  With the infrastructure we’ve built out, high-level talent will be able to **exponentially increase the impact of the regenerative movement.** We’ve answered the question: “*How do you build a social network that unites diverse movements, shares knowledge, and channels revenue to regenerative communities instead of corporations?*” We built it with a phenomenal community of leaders, in a way no tech company could have achieved! Now, **we’re  eager to rapidly scale the reach and effectiveness of regenerative initiatives worldwide, catalyzing transformative change at local, bioregional, and global levels.**", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "BloomNetwork", "projectTwitter": "ourbloomnetwork"}
