Change starts from the ground up
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.
What is the Network?
Our network is one big resource to help you reclaim political power in your communities. Through workshops, discussions, events, and an archive of extensive written materials, we help you set up self-governing neighborhoods, villages, and towns so you can shape the type of society you want to be a part of.
Courses & Events
Learn how to set up a communalist project from those who've done it. Our courses and events are run by experienced activists who explain how to organize communalist democracies through theoretical materials and first-hand practical accounts.
