AMIBA Leads the Local Movement
More than ever, we know independent businesses give communities economic strength, financial sustainability, and stronger civic connections. Inclusive thriving local economies are our path to resilience and growth for all. Government disinterest, mega-corporations and lack of consumer awareness of the impact of our choices work against resilient communities. AMIBA works to change that equation. Together, we can create policies and practices that focus on local business and a common good economy.
