Press Center - Welcome Journalists!

ILSR looks forward to working with journalists to advance understanding of innovative public policy developments as they relate to local self reliance. We have a communications staff and experts available to explain public policy details and will provide a perspective on scale and ownership that is usually unique to the mainstream discussions.

If you have a question we can help with, please contact Brooke Gullikson in our Minneapolis office at info@ilsr.org or call 612-379-3815 ext. 205.
