Rich Bartlett and Nati Lombardo from the Loomio team in New Zealand are touring through the US meeting with activists and entrepreneurs across the country. They will be stopping in SF to host a session on collaborative culture and non-hierarchical organizing.
The session will combine storytelling and participation so we can all learn together about democratic, bottom-up, consent-oriented, do-ocratic, grassroots organizing.
Rich and Nati have been engaged in the craft of participatory organizing for more than five years, starting with Occupy in 2011, co-founding Loomio (a worker co-op and social enterprise building software for collective decision-making) and Enspiral (a network of 250 tech activists experimenting with radical organizational forms).
