<br>It features: <br><p>Can the Commons Move from the Margins to the Mainstream?<br>
by David Bollier</p>
<p>Why is it that the commons is so often excluded from official policy
discussions about how to manage resources and improve people�s lives?</p>
<p>The Practice of Unknowing<br>
by Marianne Maeckelbergh</p>
<p>The popular educator Paolo Friere said �You make the path by walking
it�.� This saying is one of the guiding principles of the
alterglobalization movement and it is this approach that radically
differs from the prefigurative and overdetermined politics of the past.</p>
<p>Mastering Masterlessness<br>
by Nina Power</p>
<p>If we can be simultaneously both student and teacher, can skill
sharing work to reject specialisation and the deference it encourages?</p>
<p>Local Acts of Resistance Counter Global Systems of Domination<br>
by Haleh Zandi of Planting Justice</p>
<p>With many facing environmental racism, cheap calorie and
nutritionally bankrupt foods, and childhood obesity, Planting Justice
are working to empower low income communities to meet their own food
needs.</p>
<p>A Community Bill of Rights<br>
by Ben Price</p>
<p>Having experienced endless litigations and relentless resubmission of
permits by corporations, the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund
decided they would be more successful if they created their own
community-led ordinances that could be ratified in the US Constitution.</p>
<p>What do we want? And Who Decides?<br>
by Kai Huschke</p>
<p>In the fall of 2007 seven people � active on neighborhood, social
justice, and environmental fronts � gathered in a small living room in
one of Spokane, Washington�s poorest neighborhoods to talk about their
community. <br></p><p><br></p>Thanks,<br>Jonny Gordon-Farleigh<br><br>
