Her work with Building Movement is allowing her to explore an interest in the idea of "the commons" –what do we and what should we own in common? What should be available to everyone? Parks, libraries, the internet, sidewalks, sewers, clean air and water, need to be more closely stewarded. Kim is developing workshops on "the commons" and on fair and equitable tax policy. Kim believes that the nonprofit sector has a critical role to play in the creation and maintenance of a democratic society.
