draft page, for a initiative with Pat Conaty et al.
Description
Pat Conaty:
"The aim of the project is to create "socially useful money organisations" (SUMO) and to eventually co-build a digital platform.
If you can imagine a Commons alternative to VISA you get the picture. Why should all credit be debt based? If large and small credit unions, CDFIs, co-operative banks came together and built common cause and unity, Financial Democracy could be made real and practical. But we need the Commons and democratically owned platforms."
