WHY IS THE COMMONS SO IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US?

Our world has been co-opted by corporations in collusion with governments, creating a society based on commodities and money rather than on the deep values that honor us as sensitive and caring human beings.  Many of us have not yet realized the drastic consequences of this grab for power and resources. The Commons is catalyzing a citizens movement to reclaim our water, air, seas, our science, knowledge, internet freedom, values and more. As a third force of power along with markets and states the commons is the missing link that represents the People.
