Sunday, February 23, Noon-4 p.m.
Re-taking the Land for the Commons,
Place by Place
with Joel Rothschild
Princeton Integral Yoga Community Center
301 N Harrison St #1E · Princeton, NJ
“As Community Land Cooperatives gain ownership of land, neighborhoods gain security as a place for community. CLC holdings won’t be sold to speculators, developers, or gentrifiers. They won’t be ‘flipped,’ or suddenly cost double the price. Household and business equity in the neighborhood will tend toward more equitable distribution among members, without recourse to paternalistic state or philanthropic programs, and market shocks like the Great Recession won’t periodically liquidate the neighborhood’s real estate for the easy picking of outside investors.”
Joel is an ecovillage organizer with a social-change vision. Find out more at http://ecovillagers.org.
He’ll join us again at our February Meetup, with our usual fabulous potluck, and an update from our community leaders in New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania. Please let us know if you can attend!
