Free Money Day: Sharing Is Common Cents

Thanks so much to the Daily Good for getting the word out about Free Money Day, much appreciated!

This event is about doing absolutely the
most counter-intuitive thing we can do with money in our society. The very act
of giving away one's own money serves as a 'signal interruption' to a culture
where we've turned everything we value into commodities to be transacted, and
have allowed money to define people's health, wellbeing and happiness (or lack
of it).

Breaking the spell of money, even
temporarily, invites us to think about how we define 'wealth' and 'value'.

In no way should this mean dismissing
money, because right now, most of us do need money to meet our needs. But what
if money worked differently?

What if we had economies in which your status
derived from how much you have to share, not how much you accumulate?

Here are just some of the creative ways
people from Ghana and Colombia, to Egypt and Russia, will be celebrating today:
