Somerville Local First is a forming non-profit organization in Somerville, Massachusetts. We are comprised of and support small, locally-owned, independent businesses. We believe that by creating more local value, we can create a more just and sustainable society, one community at a time. Check our our blog for more background and a running story of our efforts. Local First organizations are independent and based in the communities which they serve.
We are joined, by choice, in a national network called The Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE). For more information, check out: www.livingeconomies.org
