Please message me if you'd like to help organize - we'll pretend we know what we are doing together.
**Update from Monday November 9: More than 30 RSVPs so far! And American democracy seems to be holding strong! Very excited for our meeting. I will send around some additional details to all those that have registered later today.
****Update Tuesday November 10: We passed 50 RSVPs - this is gonna be a good party. 3 updates:
- The wonderful Della Duncan has agreed to help me with facilitation
- I was advised to extend the meeting from 60 to 90 minutes - a really good suggestion. So we will meet from 5:30 to 7:00pm
- Please check out this prep work so we can have a productive meeting:
- Background: If you haven’t already, watch TED talk and review introductory info here: https://doughnuteconomics.org/about-doughnut-economics
- Watch this intro video that discusses downscaling the Doughnut from a global concept to one for cities (and maybe a state?!): https://youtu.be/YCqGf7T9ABo
- Come to the meetup with:
- In a 5 word sentence or less: What is your vision for California?
- A virtual background that shows how the Doughnut for California might look for you.

Past hats I've worn include attorney, professor, entrepreneur, consultant, investor. I'm a San Joaquin Valley raised Mexican American - lived all over the country and now finally home in California. I'm pretty good at breaking down tricky problems. I like people, I don't talk over or disregard women, and people generally like working with me.

I am seeking to bridge and support the intersectionality and well-being of organizational systems, and applying regenerative design, circular economies to create a better world for all of us. I currently work with social startups aligning with the SDG, WEF as a curator for Globally New Mobility Coalition, and co-chairing a Diversity & Inclusivity ethics committee with IEEE on AI/AS.

For the past two years I've been studying the science of human collaboration and cooperation. I'm interested in building co-ops that are centered around doughnut economics. I'm interesting in building co-ops, in Los Angeles, for the donut economy.

Excited by Distributed Cooperative Organizations, "DisCOs", which are a way for people to work together in ways that are cooperative, feminist economic, and commons-oriented. DisCOs explicitly account for the value of care work. See https://disco.coop/
