CURRENT MISSION: Build shared power in our economy - a solidarity economy - by resisting the privatization and commodification of land, restoring the commons, practicing participatory governance, shifting to cooperative models of stewardship.

We're all struggling with becoming more aware, of who we are, of how we're positioned in relation to other people or groups of people, of what exactly is causing these complex social problems we want to interrupt, these systems we want to affect change in, of how to be in good, honest, mutually beneficial relationships with each other, how to navigate the relationships, to act on what we know and remain open enough to learning more.
