I’m Jerry and I’m Tanya and this is the Lansing Project 2026 – For the People By the People, podcast.
Lansing Project 2026 is a framework for building collective, local resilience that starts by meeting everyone’s basic needs.
Our vision counters the division and destruction of Project 2025 by bringing neighbors together to create and strengthen connections and structures that serve the community’s unique priorities. We will fight fascism by loving and caring for each other. Lansing Project 2026 is based on the promise that we can build the world we want to live in and thrive together. And it starts here, now. Join us. Go to music intro… **Standard ending:** We hope other communities join us in building a new way of being together from the ground up. [here’s] how you can reach us to be part of the conversation. Like and subscribe.
