Helping You Tell Your Story
With media outreach, (mainstream and social media), a video library, and regular articles written by national thought leaders in response to your most frequently asked questions, we support you in communicating the impacts and benefits of local living economies and the importance of supporting your work.
BALLE Bureau
BALLE staff and board members speak weekly at most of the nation’s leading conferences for socially responsible investing, business, and economic development, and they’re available for your community! BALLE’s line-up will inspire, provoke, and incite any audience, and represents a perfect way to kick off or celebrate any living economy campaign. See our calendar of speaking events, and email us to request a speaker in your community.
BALLE Buzz E-Newsletter
Our bi-monthly e-newsletter is packed with program ideas from peer communities, case studies of local living economy businesses, guest essays, and overviews of new resources and tools to support your work. Please click here to subscribe. We do not sell our list under any circumstances.
"Think Local First" is a term developed and trademarked by BALLE networks to refer to our commitment to our communities. Rather than simply promoting "buying" local, we are suggesting our larger role as stewards. By thinking local, we can make choices that have dramatic impact on our local communities, economies, and environments. A Local First campaign educates consumers and businesses about the economic, social and often environmental advantages that independent, local businesses bring to a community. The goal is to create a thriving local economy by maximizing the potential of local businesses, and transferring market share (business, government, and consumer purchases) from non-locally owned businesses to local independently owned businesses. Resources include a How-To Guide, program samples from dozens of communities, one or more Roundup Calls each year featuring Local First innovations, and an annual Buy Local Week. For more information, see our Local First campaigns page.
