It’s not enough to rage, complain and resist the incursions and impositions of our enemy. We must develop citizen-based solutions and establish our own institutions and services to create independent, sustainable and collaborative resources. I will feature these as often as I discover them to showcase excellent global brothers and sisters doing excellent things and taking action to resolve problems. When we unite towards common purpose we empower ourselves and create thriving, life affirmative institutions for ourselves. This weakens the system of predation we are currently held captive in. It creates something new of our own, an alternative, so people eventually abandon the criminal broken system designed to create broken people.
This video introduces you to community-based Repair Cafés that originated in Amsterdam Netherlands back in 2009. On 2 March 2010, The Repair Café Foundation was formed to support groups around the world in setting up their own Repair Cafés locally. Since then, the number of Repair Cafés has grown quickly and now numbers in the thousands.The concept is simple, Repair Café are collaborative community spaces where items such as clothes, broken appliances and household items are repaired for FREE. It is a vital trade-space where common spaces, technical knowledge and skills are exchanged to recondition and fix items. Eager to share their knowledge and skills, these workshop techs take pride and reward in helping others and their communities. The repair cafe workshops are well-stocked with individuals happy to help others to repair their broken items and teach what they know about repairing them.
This is the way out of a broken, vampiric system folks and with global economies plundered to Depression; Repair Cafés are a godsend of ingenuity in practice. The innate goodness in humanity is to help others and to rejoice in the reward of that mutual success. We of humanity are hard wired to build, create and establish great things for the benefit of tribe, community and neighbourhood. These simple exchanges build love, foster brother/sisterhood and elevate the citizenry as a whole. People engaged in fruitful, rewarding work of substance toward a common effort and goal feel a part of something. Contribution, love and security of fellowship comes into their life like the rays of the sun. It changes and heals people deeply and I’ve personally witnessed and experienced this in my life endeavours in assistance to others. Crime, conflict and strife go down as broken people working together heal themselves and others in the transcendent experience.
PLEASE USE THE COMMENT SECTION BELOW TO POST ANY REPAIR CAFE’S YOU WOULD LIKE PROMOTED. I WILL BE HAPPY TO PIN THEM. TO THE TOP.
