"In communities across the country--from Belfast, Maine to Taos, New Mexico--citizens are taking action to defend and strengthen their local economies. They are developing strategies and adopting new policies to curb the expansion of chain stores and support locally owned businesses. The Institute for Local Self-Reliance (ILSR) has been tracking these efforts and will use this bulletin to provide bimonthly updates on significant developments. We hope it will serve as a tool for making connections and sharing strategies within this growing movement."
