School of Commoning | education for commons culture & social renewal
As the latest law criminalising the homeless and people who shelter is abandoned buildings (squatting)
is in effect the last of the Enclosure acts,removing our rights to shelter and putting property rights above human right to have shelter.
There were a variety of speakers who spoke on the various aspects of the commons.
How our various commons have been removed,i.e land ,legal rights access to space/land water etc.
There was intresting talk on the legal aspects of restoring our rights ,especially the recent moves to give rights to the earth and rivers etc,to prevent eco cide.
Bolivia recently created a Declaration of Mother Earth Rights.
There were also people from the School of Commoning link above.
