Quote:What is a citizen collective?
Not all activities that citizens organize together are citizen collectives. A neighborhood barbecue or a temporary action group against logging is not. Then what is? Some elements are necessary to be able to speak of a citizen collective:
- to meet local needs, with the aim of long-term structural results;
- the members take control of the production / execution of the goods or services themselves (although sometimes it is possible to call on paid (service) suppliers);
- citizens are the promoters and determine who belongs to the group, and who can use or manage the resources, goods or services;
- the members have a say in the form, the organization and the action lines for the future;
A few examples: with a social grocery, cooperative library of things, or community supported agriculture where consumers are closely connected to a farmer and are committed to reducing production, or even participating in the harvest.
