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\nI facilitated an extensive dialogue and healing process with Bloom's global organizers in over 30 countries, to design **a social media system resilient to the power abuses prevalent in dominant financial and governance structures.**\n\nI co-wrote our **open source decentralized governance model** [**whitepaper here**](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xZFoS7EHlmPfnAKAOHdbK0FTHBMSrItO/view?usp=drive_link) which supports community-owned infrastructure across sectors like food, energy, and housing. It is adaptable for other shared infrastructure needs, from manufacturing to local government.\n\nAs a result, Bloom Network launched its 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.

Last month** I onboarded over 100 local impact doers to Web3 for the first time.**\n\nAs a local organizer and public speaker in San Francisco, a worldwide hub for social impact, I shared solutions and strategies from local Bloom nodes while learning from diverse leaders in community organizing, Indigenous activism, and business innovation. I incorporate these learnings into my capacity-building work with local Bloom nodes.** 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 now to build 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\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 with 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\n**Call to Action: **Please support [Meg Rivers](https://explorer.gitcoin.co/#/projects/0x2d674f18f9a3351f4865e6094c124ba38a89894f419529901713d7426082e064) and [Danibelle Gennety](https://explorer.gitcoin.co/#/projects/0x5a792471fdc8cefb41618e763c5cbf14d6570c40ad798b39a9c860b621ba1f23)’s Regen Citizen grant listings.

Beyond Bloom Network’s extensive infrastructure for scaling regenerative economies, I have been a local community organizer for 25 years.

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!
