These are the agreements and policies written and adopted by the community members of the Urban Soil/Tierra Urban co-op and the Los Angeles Eco-Village through a consensus process.

Most of these pages are 🔒 Locked — to avoid inadvertently editing them — because the community feels more comfortable keeping them intact. Or because the wording is specific and consensus has been reached in live meetings about it.

Notice that you can still leave comments by highlighting the relevant section and clicking on the 💬 Comment button in the control bar that pops up.

Pages marked as drafts have not been consensed on by the community.
