Wellington Timebank

Wellington Timebank is a community of people who share skills, where the currency is time rather than money. Sign up today to share your knowledge, skills and time!

Creating a regional currency helps build sovereignty outside the permission, reach, and control of the current capitalist system. Creating a local timebank will take some time, but if we start now, we can be free of the dollar when it crashes. #Timebank #4winds #UATE

Your neighbors could be key to helping you stretch your budget. Nicole Comstock shows us how a West LA community is using their "time bank" to share their skills and cut costs. #Timebank #LetsGetFree #RegionalCurrency #UnitedSovereignty #CollectiveLiberation

Hi,

I feel for you and that being said, I feel for all that lack the means to get what they need.

Despite many things, I believe that life is a gift, a wonder and that the greatest gift is to be able to be of service, to help where help is needed.

I think that our current economy fails you, but I believe in, and am looking for, a fix. Also because it is essential for our #polycrisis.
Currently I am exploring #timebank s.

Ik zou op een sociale partij stemmen, maar belangrijker denk ik dat we 'de politiek' niet nodig hebben om een verschil te maken voor onze samenleving, met name door de locale en interlocale economie en daarmee sociale cohesie te verbeteren met behulp van tijdbanken en soortgelijke initiatieven.

@MissConstrue @mlanger

There are thousands of #timebank s worldwide. hOurworld and TimeBanks USA are major networks in the United States. Spice (now Tempo) has been influential in the UK. See also https://www.timebanks.org/timebank-map-and-directory.

Me myself I recently joined a Dutch one https://timebank.cc and may explore https://ruilkringdenbosch.nl, a similar itiative.

@mlanger @MissConstrue

Imho the weak point of the current regime is the economy and it is something I think we can fix by starting or joining initiatives for alternative economies with #timebank s and alikes.
