Projects

I participate in multiple projects with the goal of practising intentional collaboration and cross-pollinating innovations that cultivate transformative participation in solidarity economies.

Within this context, the projects I’m currently contributing to include:

Commons Social Change Library - a free online library with resources to resist and organise.
RAD Housing - a learning-in-the-open project creating new pathways for small emergent groups to retrofit and decommodify housing while living more collectively, and acting in solidarity with broader transformative movements for justice.
Common Guide - a community-crafted repository of governance practices and ideas for progressive and radical community organising.

My approach to contributing to these projects is informed by, and contributes to, my intermittent participation in networks that contribute to the ecosystem within which I can experiment with different forms of collaborative practice, including:

Earthworker - an ecosystem of worker cooperatives seeking to create democratic, just and sustainable livelihoods that enable us to deal with the challenges of economic injustice and ecological crisis.
Enspiral - a collection of people who support each other to experiment with ways of working on stuff that matters while sharing power by leading and innovating together.

a large sheet of paper with hand-written words and symbols and images on in, including two large words in the middle - solidarity economy. At the edges of the paper are two sets of hands reaching towards the paper, and one set of hands folded over crossed legs, with a striped-sock-covered food poking out. There are a collection of books around the edges of the paper and extra pens suggesting participants sitting in a circle around the paper who are out-of-frame

“Collaboration in solidarity asks individuals not simply to work together on equal terms and to share equally the products of commoning, but also to be formed as subjects of sharing. Subjects of sharing … accept their incompleteness [while] being formed and transformed without everybody being reduced to fit to perpetuated role taxonomies" Stavros Stavrides, 2016

The contributions I offer these projects are largely voluntary and the resources developed along the way are shared under creative commons licences. If you want to support these practices, please consider working with me. To help me practice distributing reciprocity, please support the following projects:

The Land Back Org - an Impact fund that facilitates the transfer of land and property wealth back to First Nations people.
Seed Mob, an Indigenous youth climate network which is building a movement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people for climate justice.
The Dhadjowa Foundation, an organisation providing strategic, coordinated and culturally appropriate support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families whose loved ones have died in custody.
