Help build the Collective Autonomy Net!

Tyson and Kirsten are traveling on passenger trains across the country to discover, connect and facilitate networks of people, places and projects
that are developing alternative economic architecture for do-it-yourself liberation. Come meet others interested in Collective Autonomy!

We see thriving modes of existence that are impervious to the demands of empire.
We’re learning that when we don’t need capitalism anymore, it will disarm itself, much to the dismay of the wealthy elite who control governments,
media and the stock market.
We want to show that our movement is much stronger and richer than we are led to believe. We want to encourage this vital activity by making solidarity apparent and by deepening transcontinental mutual-aid.

Lets discuss what’s happening, how you are a part of it and what else we can do.

**

The Collective Autonomy Net (CAN) is a network that connects an intentionally decentralized movement. It exists simultaneously on the Internet and between real people and projects in our streets and gardens.
We use the term Collective Autonomy to refer to the myriad ways we can arrange counter-institutions: Food not Bombs, Really Really Free Markets,
Infoshops, Local Currencies, Guerilla Gardens, Free Skools, Bike Kitchens, Worker-owned Cooperatives…
