Land & Free­dom

Greet­ings,

This is an update on the Land & Free­dom Camp: a 7 day open exhi­bi­tion and demon­stra­tion tak­ing place on Clapham Com­mon from Sat 17th Sept till Sun 25th Sept.

The aim of the camp is to high­light the issue of the eco­nom­ics of land own­er­ship and the pol­i­tics and laws regard­ing the use of the land local­ly and glob­al­ly.  We want to com­mu­ni­cate the myr­i­ad of effects that the cur­rent sys­tem has includ­ing:

  •  the almost com­plete restric­tion of access to land to live (and grow) autonomous­ly and sus­tain­ably by com­mon peo­ple in the UK and around the world due to laws gov­ern­ing use of the land and/or eco­nom­ic dom­i­na­tion of it by the few (despite there being over 5 acres of land for every human being on earth) *
  •  the ensu­ing effect of arti­fi­cial scarci­ty of avail­able land that the restric­tion of access cre­ates: dri­ving up the cost of hous­ing and reduc­ing it’s avail­abil­i­ty in both cities and the rur­al areas.  This cre­ates a slave cul­ture where peo­ple strug­gle to make end’s meet in crammed urban envi­ron­ments or as for the most of the world’s pop­u­la­tion even to put food in their mouths. 
  • the mod­ern lega­cy of polit­i­cal struc­tures that serve the inter­ests of the land own­ing estab­lish­ment which have been pre­vi­ous­ly con­struct­ed through his­to­ry by the same priv­eleged group. 
  • the laws and land grabs which these struc­tures con­tin­ue to push for­ward  dis­pos­sess­ing peo­ple local­ly and glob­al­ly: whether it be the UK Gov­’s agen­da to ban squat­ting, evict­ing peo­ple from their land (Dale Farm) or as in Africa with the forced dis­pos­ses­sion of peo­ple from the land they depend on for their sur­vival.
  • the com­plete­ly unde­mo­c­ra­t­ic, unsus­tain­able and dan­ger­ous con­trol of the nat­ur­al resources by pri­vate cor­po­ra­tions for prof­it, monop­o­lis­ing pro­duc­tion of human­i­ties bare neces­si­ties: food, fuel, water and so on. The result: food scarci­ty, destruc­tion of eco-sys­tems, cli­mate change, peak oil etc…

We go peace­ful­ly to Clapham Com­mon call­ing for a rad­i­cal change in the eco­nom­ics of land own­er­ship: a redis­tri­b­u­tion of land local­ly and glob­al­ly and a reform of the laws which cur­rent­ly pre­vent rea­son­able access to the land by the com­mon peo­ple. 
We are com­mon peo­ple!
