People's Network for Land & Liberation

David Cobb People's Network for Land & Liberation

The People’s Network for Land & Liberation (PNLL) is a BIPOC-led Consortium that shares a common vision to shift from power-over, extractive and unsustainable socio-political systems to cooperative, regenerative and balanced systems. We have a concrete plan to succeed that is already in operation, and we are ready to scale. Our unique value proposition is to engage in peaceful transformation to ensure that your grandchildren not only survive but thrive. We invite you to engage with us.

Our Program

We are (6) Community Based Organizations strategically located across the United States. Each of us makes adaptations to fit the unique needs of our local circumstances, but we are all implementing the following program:

1) Decommodify land for community owned and affordable housing and food production using a food sovereignty framework incorporating permaculture principles.

2) Community production employing digital fabrication technologies for decentralized manufacturing to empower local communities to create goods collaboratively and sustainably emphasizing logical supply chains.

3) Incubating an ecosystem of worker-owned cooperatives that go beyond “coops for the sake of coops” to create profitable and vibrant local supply and value chains.

4) An internal self-education program that engages folks to foster critical thinking, dialogue, and empowerment to learn and implement our transformational and liberatory program.

5) Art and Culture is infused in everything we do. This includes making things beautiful, but goes deeper. We organize according to the adage “If it isn’t soulful, it isn’t strategic.”
