The systems that traumatise us and the land turn us into perpetrators of trauma
It’s a cycle that has to stop
Community = people + land. That’s why the commons are radical, and why we need them so much now

1/4 Can’t afford land, but want to grow food, and a community?
Many of us dream of a patch of land to grow food for ourselves and for our community.
But for most of us, it’s a pipe dream. At a time when it’s almost impossible to even buy somewhere to live, stretching for land is out of reach

Thanks @wildjustice.bsky.social for your work on this. It’s essential that the government don’t get away with weakening environmental protections
We've been granted a permissions hearing at the High Court for our legal challenge against Angela Raynor's assertion that the Planning & Infrastructure Bill 'will not reduce environmental protections', which we say was both untrue & unlawful.

We’re back the open spaces sticker call to tree open the registers! This lost land will be open access land - let’s get people back into nature 🙌
On the sixtieth anniversary of the Commons Registration Act 1965, we have challenged ministers to re-open the closed registers in England, and save thousands of square miles of green land for the people to enjoy: bit.ly/46KNsWs

I grew up with a particular love for dystopian films - the running man, blade runner, total recall, akira. It’s scary to be living it for real. This can’t go unchallenged - we, and our children will pay for this
Behind every draconian decision, there's secret evidence ("detailed security assessments") we're not allowed to see. We should just suck it up and believe them.
Sorry, Yvette Cooper, that's not how democracy should work. When you make a decision of such consequence, we need to see the basis for it.

Yvette Cooper is asked about her decision to ban Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation and she claims she received detailed security assessments & advice & is in receipt of disturbing information that the rest of us don't know about

We have an ancient system of land rights that still governs land in the country larger than Greater London and Essex combined. It’s something very special, but more than that, it has the potential to help us face some of our biggest crises

I agree with this whole heartedly - building a movement, connecting all the groups together, putting aside differences - there are so many of us out there, and we can often feel alone. But we’re not. We’re all fighting the same system, whether it’s nature, trans, Gaza, industrial farming or VAWG ✊🏽
'We already have the resources: the people, the money, the desire. The problem, as always, is connection and getting these connections to start moving.'
Ecology at the end of the world
Climate activists need to come together to build connection, community and movements - aims and principles can come later.

Common land and common rights need to be demystified, so we can understand what is happening with an area bigger than Greater London & Essex combined. Our current common rights have everything to do with feudal peasantry and nothing to do with the world we find ourselves in today

Plastics have infected our water and our land - our commons. Plastics pollution has to stop, and this is a systemic issue, not just a ‘personal choice’
August sees the final round of talks for the Global Plastics Treaty🌍
The UK must seize this chance to stand up for our environment & take action against pollution💪

It shows how ridiculous our land ownership and access system is. We firmly believe that all rivers, lakes and seas should be commons, with rights and responsibilities held for them by the people - not private landowners or corporations
Who owns the River Dart? 108 separate landowners, it turns out - with 11 miles of it owned by offshore companies!
Great research by @lewis-winks.bsky.social which shows why the Government's 9 river walks policy won't work without a right of responsible access 1/

But common land can be owned by anyone. Public or private, business or organisation. It’s the rights over the land that make it common, not ownership
