The Communalism Network
Communalism is real democracy, returned to its roots. Government for the people by the people.
Some call it 'bottom-up' democracy. Others know it as ‘self-government'. Still others refer to it as ‘radical municipalism'.
No matter how you call it: this is where the movement meets to share ideas, visions, and best practices. Welcome to The Communalism Network.
Here we learn, discuss, and support each other in building communities that serve its people.
