Our Program
We are (6) Community Based Organizations strategically located across the United States. Each of us makes adaptations to fit the unique needs of our local circumstances, but we all implement the following Dual Power program:
1) Decommodify land for community owned and affordable housing, food production using a food sovereignty framework, and the practice of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) to restore the reciprocal balance that existed bfore the enclosure of The Commons.
2) Community production employing digital fabrication technologies for decentralized manufacturing to empower local communities to create goods collaboratively and sustainably.
3) Incubating an ecosystem of worker-owned cooperatives that go beyond “coops for the sake of coops” to create profitable and vibrant local supply and value chains.
4) An internal self-education program that engages folks to foster critical thinking, dialogue, and empowerment to learn and implement our transformational and liberatory program.
5) Art and Culture is infused in everything we do. This includes making things beautiful, but goes deeper. We organize according to the adage “If it isn’t soulful, it isn’t strategic.”
We propose doing two workshops on June 18, Each workshop would be a "deep dive" of three of our "nodes" and what our program means in very concrete ways.
