Can the commons help our rivers to thrive again? With no help from the private or public sector, turning our rivers into commons could be a ray of hope in a dark time. Read the article here: www.campaignforcommons.org/blog/our-common-rivers #commons #community #saveyourriver #ukrivers

The systems that traumatise us and the land turn us into perpetrators of trauma It’s a cycle that has to stop Community = people + land. That’s why the commons are radical, and why we need them so much now Sign up to our newsletter to find out more tinyurl.com/CFCommons

Dream of rewilding, but it’s out of reach? There’s a way we could all access land, to rewild, to be a guardian for nature and future generations. Reform the commons Sign up to our newsletter to find out more tinyurl.com/CFCommons

3/4 We could even have community kitchens - hubs for the local area, and the ability to feed those who are struggling with the cost of living crisis

2/4 By creating new common rights, including the right to grow food in a nature friendly way, we could start hundreds of grow projects across the country, with local communities having the right to reap the rewards

1/4 Can’t afford land, but want to grow food, and a community? Many of us dream of a patch of land to grow food for ourselves and for our community. But for most of us, it’s a pipe dream. At a time when it’s almost impossible to even buy somewhere to live, stretching for land is out of reach

Thanks @wildjustice.bsky.social for your work on this. It’s essential that the government don’t get away with weakening environmental protections

Today marks the 60th anniversary of the 1965 Commons Registration Act - a piece of legislation which has unwittingly created devastating consequences for both humans and nature. It’s time for change

I grew up with a particular love for dystopian films - the running man, blade runner, total recall, akira. It’s scary to be living it for real. This can’t go unchallenged - we, and our children will pay for this

The thin end of the wedge. I never thought I’d see this from a ‘Labour’ government. The right to peaceful protest is one of the freedoms we bang on about fighting for, no?

We have an ancient system of land rights that still governs land in the country larger than Greater London and Essex combined. It’s something very special, but more than that, it has the potential to help us face some of our biggest crises #commons #community #systemschange #SSSIs #standingstones

Natural England need to be given some teeth to punish those breaking the law. Ridiculous that 50 million pheasants are released every year, but no one can get a license to release beavers, which are native!

Absolutely. It’s not Labour anymore. I’m not sure what they even stand for

I look forward to listening to it! Hopefully there’s some lessons we can all learn for how to reach people feeling alienated and under pressure

I agree with this whole heartedly - building a movement, connecting all the groups together, putting aside differences - there are so many of us out there, and we can often feel alone. But we’re not. We’re all fighting the same system, whether it’s nature, trans, Gaza, industrial farming or VAWG ✊🏽

I have grown up learning different languages, and it’s clear that language shapes our ability to conceptualise the world. To the point of even having different personalities in different languages. Learning another language is a gateway to a new way of seeing the world

Brilliant work! Shows just how absurd land ownership is here. There must be a better way of doing things

Pretty chilling, it’s sent shivers down my spine. The resistance makes me proud to be British though! I often hear that the British won’t kick up a fuss (unlike the French), but I don’t believe that’s true. Thanks for risking it, and to everyone else out there risking arrest and jail

Dangerous times. All done deliberately - the truth can’t come through if there’s so many lies out there

Campaign For Commons @campaignforcommons.bsky.social · 30/07/2025
Genuinely excited about the change you can bring. I had such high hopes for Labour, which have been dashed against the wall. It’s time for change!

How can we still be doing this? Pesticide and herbicide use needs to end, we’re in the middle of the collapse of insect life, without which we’re… screwed, to put it mildly www.theguardian.com/environment/...
theguardian.com
Half of UK councils still use pesticides in public places, research finds
Pesticide-free movement has grown, but many local authorities still spray weedkiller linked to wildlife declines and cancer

I hope that this historic win quickly leads to cases. But will governments obey the courts? Or will decisions be reviewed, researched and reported into nothing?

Common land and common rights need to be demystified, so we can understand what is happening with an area bigger than Greater London & Essex combined. Our current common rights have everything to do with feudal peasantry and nothing to do with the world we find ourselves in today

Yes you’re right - I was thinking nostalgically of old Labour. The world has changed though, and we need to radically rethink how we do politics

Plastics have infected our water and our land - our commons. Plastics pollution has to stop, and this is a systemic issue, not just a ‘personal choice’

It shows how ridiculous our land ownership and access system is. We firmly believe that all rivers, lakes and seas should be commons, with rights and responsibilities held for them by the people - not private landowners or corporations

Yes, our ‘new Labour’. Time for a return to being the political wing of the trade unions

There’s no intrinsic value recognised in nature, despite the fact we are nature. We’ve been so far separated that we can’t see that perhaps rainforest (chalk streams / tundra / other degraded habitats) are worth much more than plastic, sheep or war

I can’t believe we’re still discussing whether this is the right thing to do or not. It just needs to happen

How is this happening under a Labour government? Disgusting. I had hopes that something would change when they got into power. Naively, apparently
