Our Story
THE COMMONS IS: An open community that grows through your participation. Access to tools, resources, and human energy. A safe and welcoming place where creativity and kindness are encouraged.
The Commons is no longer a physical space. The building at 14th and B- where we hosted events, housed a lending library and various collectively owned equipment, and facilitated connections in our community- was bought by a local landlord in July 2018, and we were informed that our lease would not be renewed. After an initial search for a new location and several community meetings, it was concluded that a comparable replacement with affordable rent (necessary to continue offering the space on a donation only basis) was not available. -------------------------------------------------------- The Commons was organized and staffed completely by volunteers and funded by donations. While recognizing that we live in a generally unsafe world, and that people are at many different levels of education and experience, we committed to cultivating a safer space where many voices could be heard and any incidents could be discussed and processed as a community. Because we ran on a consensus model, all policies were up for discussion and revision. -------------------------------------------------------- Code of Conduct as of June 2016: Please don't use alcohol or other recreational drugs while at The Commons Do engage only in consensual physical contact Be mindful that words may have a different impact than your intent Unwelcome remarks about gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, physical appearance, body size, age, race, or religion will not be tolerated Persons engaging in threats of violence, deliberate intimidation, or sustained disruption of discussion may be asked to disengage or leave The Commons If you have any questions, or experience any troubling behavior, please speak directly with the volunteer onsite (identified by their stick-on name tag), or you may contact us through our website, thecommonslnk.com. Thank you!!
