The Epilogue

It's been 75 days since the Shift Across America project reached its conclusion, or at least the roadtrip portion of the project. Upon my return, there was much work to do. Somerville Local First, like many of the networks around the country, is growing faster every day. We're no longer a start-up, we're figuring out our role in the community...and we're succeeding.


Over the coming weeks, as time allows, I'll be posting more content from the amazing people who participated in this project. There are still a few interviews from Somerville and Boston I need to complete, including SLFs first Member, Carla DeLellis from Johnny D's, Rebekah Gerwitz (the first elected official in America to endorse the 10% Shift) and a few others. For now, you can view most of the interviews on our YouTube channel here, see the photographs here and read all the tweets here.

We hope to bring this message, and the words and lessons from the leaders with whom we spoke, to more and more people. In this weeks edition of The Weekly Dig, you can read a feature piece on the project. This is just the beginning.....Shift Happens.
