Do you want to rebuild our economy and revitalize your community? The 10% Shift wants to help you do just that.
We are a group of local entrepreneurs and citizens from every state in New England, and we invite you to join us in growing a movement that will transform our economy. Together we can build a strong New England economy and improve our environment by making a modest shift in the way we spend our dollars.
If the five million households in New England shifted 10% of their existing purchases from non-local businesses to Local Independents (locally owned and independent businesses) we would see thousands of new jobs created and billions of dollars of new economic activity in New England. And all this can begin to happen as soon as people start shifting and without the use of one taxpayer dollar.
The time has come for New Englanders to take a stand for local economic independence! The national and global economy has failed to live up to its promise of providing stable livelihoods and has placed our communities and our precious environment in great peril.
