We prioritize resources that align with the Common Charter, particularly Article III (Eco-Socialism as Sacred Duty), Article IV (The Paradise Commons), and Article VI (Radical Inclusion). We do not platform greenwashing, corporate propaganda, or resources that promote extraction, colonization, or violence.

"The earth is a common trust, not a commodity." — Article III, The Common Charter
