In 1985, the Philadelphia police department bombed the headquarters of MOVE, killing 11 people and destroying 61 homes in the neighborhood. Thirty-six years later, Mike Africa Jr—a member of the organization’s founding family—reflects on the persecution his community has faced for a life lived in pursuit of liberation both for people and the planet.


 
If you're interested in establishing an off-grid community with the potential to grow into a self-sustaining township, here’s a step-by-step outline of the process:

1. Gather a Committed Group

  • Objective: Assemble at least 150 like-minded individuals who are financially capable and share a common vision for the off-grid community.
  • Action: Hold meetings, either in person or virtually, to clarify objectives, expectations, and commitment levels from each member.

2. Research Laws and Regulations

  • Objective: Understand the legal framework for purchasing land, forming a community, and establishing a new municipality in the chosen state or country.
  • Action: Consult local government offices or legal professionals about requirements for land use, zoning, and incorporation. Research environmental, health, and safety regulations for off-grid living.

3. Select and Purchase Off-Grid Land

  • Objective: Identify suitable land that is remote enough to be considered off-grid, yet accessible and viable for building a community.
  • Action: Work with a real estate agent specializing in rural or off-grid properties. Ensure the land has enough space for homes, farming, water sources, and infrastructure.

4. Develop a Community Infrastructure Plan

  • Objective: Plan for essential services and utilities that will sustain the community.
  • Action: Design systems for:
    • Water (wells, rainwater collection, etc.)
    • Power (solar, wind, or other renewable energy)
    • Waste disposal (composting, septic systems)
    • Agriculture or food production (farming, gardening)
  • Consult engineers and off-grid experts to ensure compliance with any local building or environmental codes.

5. Create Legal Structures

  • Objective: Set up a legal entity (such as a cooperative, LLC, or land trust) to manage finances, ownership, and decision-making within the community.
  • Action: Draft and file documents with state authorities. Outline governance, roles, and responsibilities within the group, including how decisions will be made and how finances will be managed.

6. Formally Petition for Township or City Status

  • Objective: Apply to the state or local government to incorporate the land into a township or municipality.
  • Action: Follow the legal process for incorporation, which generally requires:
    • A minimum population (varies by location)
    • Submission of an incorporation petition signed by community members
    • Plans for local governance (mayor, council, etc.)
  • You will likely need approval through a public referendum or governmental decision.

7. Establish Community Rules and Governance

  • Objective: Set the bylaws and regulations that will govern the community.
  • Action: Once incorporated as a city or township, work with local legal counsel to ensure any community laws are compliant with state and federal regulations. Elect community leaders to manage the day-to-day functioning of the town.

8. Build Infrastructure and Housing

  • Objective: Start building homes, community spaces, and other necessary infrastructure.
  • Action: Secure building permits, if required, and start construction with a focus on sustainability. Use eco-friendly and cost-effective construction methods suitable for off-grid living.

9. Grow and Sustain the Community

  • Objective: Foster a self-sustaining community with shared values.
  • Action: Develop systems for local governance, education, healthcare, and other essential services. Ensure the community grows in an organized way, managing resources wisely and adapting as new challenges arise.

10. Continuous Adaptation and Development

  • Objective: Ensure the long-term sustainability of the community.
  • Action: Regularly review and adapt community rules, infrastructure, and services to meet the needs of a growing population and evolving environmental and regulatory conditions.
