Localization Leaders

The Business Alliance for Local Living Economies
BALLE believes that national and global prosperity begins at the local level.
City by city, business by business.
We connect entrepreneurs who are rethinking their industries, innovative funders who are investing to scale the Localist movement, and visionary network organizers who can mobilize on a broad scale. Together, our ideas are better, our voice is stronger and we’re proving how locally owned business strategies are the key to creating real prosperity.
