#CollectiveAction
Hi Mastodon. We're a collective of housing (h)activists concerned with the housing crisis in Ireland.
Our mission: to enable journalists, tenancy unions, researchers, and the public at large with rich, linked, open data regarding our housing system. Much is happening behind the scenes to realize this mission.
Excited to have you join us on this journey.

Tomorrow, in solidarity with the nationwide strike, Dreamspace Studio will be fully closed. I will not be accepting new client work, making sales, posting content, or responding to messages.

Gary Younge on remembering, struggle and change
'The struggle against segregation demanded organisation ā most of it by women ā and thousands working together, to make change. It was only after the black community boycotted the buses for 13 months that Montgomeryās local establishment finally relented. An individual may resist, but resistance is collective'
I am completely stopping all 401k contributions in protest to the #us #dictator and his #ice #thugs. This is the only #collectiveAction readily available to us #citizens, but if we all rejected their bullshit incentives, maybe they will start listening.
This is the only lever I have been able to find. I hope others join me.
Using LLMs for activism
This an interesting attempt to grapple with a complex issue š Iām sure this will annoy people but thereās a kernel of truth here which I donāt think can be dismissed:
And yet, we believe that the radical left must become collectively proficient
in AI. The challenge is technical ā itās about working more efficiently ā but
itās also political, in the sense of the actual struggle itself. The ease with
which we use 21st-century tools will lend us credibility, give confidence to
our supporters, and, at the same time, discourage our opponents: neoliberals, the far right, etc. Indeed, it is never encouraging to feel outdated or archaic.

My fantasy is to have enough money I could launch a quit capitalism collective. We'd just work on dogfooding alternative systems full-time. Launch non-quantified value currency and business models, transparent and regenerative supply chain systems, community reinvestment and antifragile feedback loopsā¦

#Earth4All #Argentina: Young people confront todayās challenges through debate
At a time when social and environmental crises are deepening, this initiative shows that young people are not just aware of the challengesāthey are ready to lead the transformation. The real challenge is to listen to them and make room for their voices in the creation of truly transformative public policies.
5 June 2025
"On 9 May, young people between the ages of 18 and 30 gathered simultaneously in #CĆ³rdoba, #BuenosAires, and #TucumĆ”n to take part in the workshop 'Understanding the present to build the future we want,' part of the Earth4All Argentina National Engagement Strategy led by the #ClubOfRome ā Argentinian Chapter.
"Organised in collaboration with #FundaciĆ³nAlimentaris and #JĆ³venesPorElClima, the workshop was part of the participatory process of the National Participation Program (NEP), an initiative aimed at gathering diagnostics, experiences, and proposals from local communities to influence public policy. Its goal is to collectively adapt the international Earth4All model to local realities. The model warns of the urgent need to move away from the current path, described as '#TooLittleTooLate,' and to move toward a '#GiantLeap' centred on #social and #EnvironmentalJustice. This transformative agenda is structured around five turnarounds: #EradicatingPoverty, #ReducingInequality, #EmpoweringWomen, transforming #FoodSystems, and driving the energy transition.
"The workshop brought together university students from the host cities, #grassroots and #EnvironmentalActivists, and civically engaged youth eager to influence #LocalPolicies and practices. Facilitated by JĆ³venes por el Clima, the event was organized around two main dynamics: first, introducing the foundations and challenges of the Earth4All model; and second, mapping specific local issues and working in thematic groups aligned with the modelās five pillars, with the aim of #CoCreating concrete proposals grounded in the experiences and voices of #YoungPeople."

#India - Seeds of #Resistance for #FoodSovereignty
April 2017
Excerpt: "Community action-reflection-action processes to identify and analyse the forces that obstruct food sovereignty, and evolve collective transformative actions for food sovereignty is a core practice of our movement. Community food sovereignty plans have emerged as a critical expression of political action.
"Life cycles amongst #adivasi communities, and agriculture cycles in small #farmer peasant and pastoralist communities, along with communitiesā indigenous knowledge, provide a framework for the plans. The plans include: democratic governance of resources-land, water, forests, territories, biodiversity, seeds, breeds and knowledge; nurturing life in our soils and growing, consuming and sharing healthy diverse and culturally appropriate food agro-ecologically, asserting seed and animal breed sovereignty through saving and exchange of local seeds and breeds between food farmers; reciprocal systems of sharing labour, knowledge and produce; strengthening local food markets that connect producers and consumers, leading to the diversification and revival of food crops. The alliance enables members to share and exchange seeds across regions, particularly accessing seeds that have disappeared from their region, which they wish to revive. Social justice is central to the idea of food sovereignty, and hence breaking the unjust structures of caste, class and patriarchy are core elements of the movement.
"Intergenerational learning and sharing of knowledge between community elders and youth is an essential strategy. Youth learn from community elders, particularly women, accompanying them as they collect diverse tubers, herbs, fruits and seeds, learning about how to process and store produce, save seeds, establish community seed banks and learn to craft and use local agriculture implements.
"Celebrating the diversity of food, through local festivals, song, dance, theatre, community cooking and other cultural actions, linked to the life cycles and seasonal agricultural calendars, enhance our practice. Campaigns, jatras and food sovereignty summits, community action research on specific questions, sharing our experiences and concerns through mainstream media, popular and academic journals, are other critical strategies to nurture solidarity and collective actions for food sovereignty."

Eco-village living and construction, global transformation and volunteer work aren't for everyone. For those who do want these things though, here is an option. Could a global cooperative of eco-villages help write the next positive chapter in the ever evolving human story? We think it can.
