This video explains how—and why the policy continues to matter today. Learn more: bit.ly/3NDrf4O

Midst of all the doom and gloom (with the upcoming Budget) some good stuff is happening. I hope this legislation works: I really hope gives people more real power & control over their local areas. I hope it re-capitalises communities that have endured deep social recessions. #CommunityOwnership

Land Justice—and Why It Matters - Non Profit News | Nonprofit Quarterly Our economy and who has power in it is tied to land—who has access to it, who controls it, and who owns it. Economic justice cannot occur without land justice.

Land justice is central to economic justice.

From Indigenous land back to community-owned housing, equitable land access builds wealth, power, and opportunity for all.
