The Perennial Possum Collective is a forming leftist intentional community / commune in Michigan that is working to co-create a collectivist, mutually-defensive, and sustainable community. We seek to explore and practice this way of life through restorative/transformative justice, permaculture, partial income-sharing; providing a safe place for leftists to learn, work, organize, & train; and the common holding of expenses, land, and resources. Besides engaging in community, we want to act for global systemic change. We seek to accomplish this by stewarding a larger culture of anti-authoritarian & anti-capitalist collectivism around us to empower this possibility. We acknowledge we can’t be free until everyone is free.
We are forming an LLC & Trust to collectively own and manage the 30-80 acres of land we’re seeking to buy in the next 1-2 years in the Southern half of Michigan’s lower peninsula.
We have approved a set of bylaws by consensus & are working on the rest of our agreements, processes, policies, etc.
We will be collectively covering the costs of our property as well as much of our food, probably health insurance, and perhaps more.
We will be establishing a permaculture farm to provide much of our food over the first few years after obtaining property.
We will be building workshop space and a shooting range open to the leftists of our community.
