Randy Hayes is the Executive Director of the International Forum on Globalization and the Director of Sustainability in the office of Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown (each half-time). Hayes is the founder and Board President of Rainforest Action Network. Believing that the international and national levels have failed to date to orchestrate the shift to a deeper ecological sustainability, Hayes calls for a city led bottom up movement to revolutionize human society. This he sees as our best shot to protect the large natural systems that nurture all life as well as fostering dignified lives for all people. Randy is working with cities worldwide on the development of local living economies and fostering a better world platform. If corporate led economic globalization is undercutting nation-states and destroying communities than Community Led Economic Localization is the antidote. Randy is a veteran of many high-visibility corporate accountability campaigns, has advocated for the rights of Indigenous peoples, and is a promoter of local independent business and economies.
