In spite of physicial restrictions, our team is using the many lessons from this pandemic to move forward. We're glad to be able to share some of these updates and plans with you. For instance, we can proudly say that we have kicked-off the collaborative writing of the *Amsterdam Commons Transition Plan* <https://commonsnetwork.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e5c1f73ee4093c6828758b7e0&id=8f6d0da5ff&e=e1da6294e6> ! Many of you have shown interest in *our research project about the links between commons thinking and the future of Dutch social security* <https://commonsnetwork.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e5c1f73ee4093c6828758b7e0&id=d2e672196b&e=e1da6294e6>. You can find updates and stories about this below. Of course, much of our energy has been devoted to our ongoing work in the Access to Medicines movement. With the most ferocious pandemic in a century reaking havoc all over the world, ensuring access to treatment is more crucial than ever. We've written a few in-depth articles about the links between corona and access to medicines, which you can find below or *here* <https://commonsnetwork.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e5c1f73ee4093c6828758b7e0&id=473722ac50&e=e1da6294e6> and *here* <https://commonsnetwork.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e5c1f73ee4093c6828758b7e0&id=699519105a&e=e1da6294e6> and *here* <https://commonsnetwork.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e5c1f73ee4093c6828758b7e0&id=cf54981562&e=e1da6294e6> . In our last newsletter, a few months ago, *we told you* <https://commonsnetwork.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e5c1f73ee4093c6828758b7e0&id=d4c35e07e9&e=e1da6294e6> about some of the changes in our organisation. We proudly announced Spring Gombe and Godelieve van Heteren as our new board members. Now, we are happy to have finalized the new board with the addition of Sandra Bos, urban management researcher at the Hogeschool of Amsterdam. We will publish an introductory interview with her very soon, but we couldn't wait to share the news! Finally, Winne van Woerden *joined our team* <https://commonsnetwork.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e5c1f73ee4093c6828758b7e0&id=74ec0e4ec9&e=e1da6294e6> to investigate the connections between degrowth, health and the practice of commoning. She will share more updates from her work soon!
