Toma Resilience Campus

  • Toma means “sun” in the Wiyot language.
  • The Toma is located adjacent to BLR’s .5 MW solar array.
  • Five Focal Areas:

 Disaster Preparedness, Response and Recovery  Clean Energy  Smart Technology  Light Manufacturing  Sustainable Food Production

slide-35
SLIDE 35

The Toma is

  • A resilience-focused economic development

center

 “whole of community “resilience, with a focus on

social inclusion and trust

 creating connections among people and businesses

  • Inclusivity Emphasis

 entrepreneurship  design principles

slide-36

  • State-of-the-art training facilities
  • Resilience Business Incubator
  • Fablab/Makerspace for workforce

trainings and product development

  • Smithsonian Spark!Lab for youth
  • Commercial teaching kitchen
  • A retail store and café
slide-37
SLIDE 37

And will provide a new home for:

 BLR’s Resilience Training and Innovation Center  BLR’s solar workforce development training

program for Native American veterans

 BLR’s “Pathmakers” K-12 culturally responsive

makerspace education program

 BLR’s own entrepreneurship training program  Additional programming with a host of strategic

partners, including…

The Big Q that drives BLR’s resilience initiatives:

  • How can a rural region be

more socially just, resilient, and self-sufficient?

National Strategic Narrative (2011). Navy Captain Wayne Porter (top) and Marine Colonel Mark Mykleby argued that the U.S. would be more strategically secure if we pursued policies of “sustainment” rather than containment. Sustainment is achieved through networked, resilient, sustainable, innovative, and entrepreneurial regions that build on local and regional assets.

BLR’s “Re”silience Goals

  • Re-localize

 Bioregion  Ecology  Inhabit

  • Re-generative Design

 Clean Tech  Permaculture  Transition

slide-49
SLIDE 49

Guiding Principle 1

We will inhabit our bioregion—immersed in the local ecology and steeped in natural and indigenous history, and live within the means of the bioregion, sourcing basic needs responsibly.

http://inhabit.earth/fundamentals/

slide-50
SLIDE 50

Guiding Principle 2

  • We need creative, innovative, empowered,

and entrepreneurial people so we can create resilient solutions appropriate for the area.

slide-51
SLIDE 51

Guiding Ideas for Toma Programming

  • Regional entrepreneurial capacity depends on

people with entrepreneurial skillsets (which can be learned).

  • Regional resilience capacity requires resilient

people with knowledge and self-efficacy.

slide-52
SLIDE 52

Demonstrate a model hub for the development of a linked network of regional hubs that use partnerships and networks to share ideas, explore best practices, drive innovation, and develop robust, interlinked, revitalizing economies.

Toma Resilience Campus Vision

(following the National Strategic Narrative)

slide-53
SLIDE 53

It may not look like it, but we are trying to reduce technology- related vulnerability.

SLIDE 54

Defeat the Old Model

  • Poverty and insecurity: neoliberal economics
  • Lower wages: competition with foreign labor
  • At least the investor class benefits!

Economies in the Age of Trumpism. Journal of Futures Studies, March 2017, 21(3): 101–106

slide-55
SLIDE 55

New Model

  • Value creation from sharing through a “knowledge

commons” with open productive communities

  • Generative and ethical market coalitions that create

real livelihoods

  • New governance institutions to maintain the

cooperative infrastructure

slide-56
SLIDE 56

Toma Goal

  • Create productive jobs

compatible with the need for a social-ecological transition

  • Move from extractive to

generative models that add value to a resource base that citizens are co-creating

slide-57
SLIDE 57

Commons

  • The “digital commons” combined with desktop

manufacturing and automation technologies, can produce sustainable models of production

  • Design Global, Manufacture Local (DGML)
slide-58
SLIDE 58

Advantages of DGML

  • No fossil fuels in global supply chains
  • Physical production done locally
  • No design for planned obsolescence
  • Open-source, circular economy
slide-59
SLIDE 59

Brian Holmes:

The advantage of these relatively inexpensive machine tools is that they allow small groups of workers to autonomously carry out sophisticated projects, fulfilling the cultural demand for dignity of labor without oppressive management by suits. If people learn to use [these tools] . . . they could use them in a commons-based economy, to help rebuild a resilient community. In this way the value of one’s own labor would be reinforced along a pathway outside of current managerial capitalism.

slide-60
SLIDE 60

What could be the vehicles for such a transition?

  • Associative and

cooperatively-run makerspaces, where the prototypes for such new manufacturing and production could be piloted

  • Programs that create blue-

collar jobs (trades, crafts, etc.) without resorting to national protectionism

slide-61
SLIDE 61

Lastly, Interlinked Regions

  • Pro-commons policies focused on local

autonomy and on creating linked, transregional capacities

  • Green New Deal with jobs created in

alternative energy technologies, sustainable food-production systems, and resilient infrastructures
