This provides communities with access to a new social sphere and enables more widespread cooperation and collaboration. Underlying our work is a clear drive. We enable mutually owned, democratically governed, globally inter-connected, and geographically localized organizations: The Local Commons. These local commons are connected to each other as well as individuals and organizations in the developing world through aligned interest in the production of a basic and sustainable quality of life. Enabling access means engaging global collaboration to produce sustainable local access to lands and technology."
