Welcome to MCAN, Mullumbimby Community Action Network

MCAN�was formed in response to the potential hijacking of our local economy by the globalised Woolworths entering our small town.� Our community was unable to stop them - however they afforded us a brilliant opportunity to become more aware of LOCALISATION, strengthening our economy sustainably, building solidarity and community resilience from the bottom up.�
