Philemon Abraham

Philemon Abraham was born in Oakland and raised in Berkeley.  As a social justice activist, he got his start in the peace movement, helping to mobilize the public to hold elected officials accountable.  Phil sees independent sustainable communities as a means to fight poverty and oppression.  By creating new, localized systems of subsistence and trade, not only are new jobs created, but new economies.  Phil is currently working with Center for Progressive Action, a grassroots network of political activists in the Bay Area.
