Lowcountry Local First - 10% shift from Justin Nathanson on Vimeo.
The 10% SHIFT - our own local stimulus plan!
We are excited about the possiblities that the 10% Shift can create! We all know that our local independent businesses are the heart of our community, they are our friends and neighbors. The 10% Shift gives us the tools we need to walk the walk not just talk the talk. We are asking all citizens (that's you!) government agencies, local businesses and non-profits to do an assessment of their expenditures and see if they can shift an additional 10% of their annual budget to local independents.
Take the 10% Pledge and find out how to make the SHIFT!
Make sure you come and represent your business on June 30th at the 10% Shift Press Conference, 10:00 a.m. at Marion Square and then celebrate your local independents with us at the 10% Shift Launch Party!
