We’ve had many requests for a list of articles that we’ve found to be the most helpful when trying to get a grasp on what the commons (and commons-based thinking) is, as well as how it applies to nonprofits, social justice and social change.  Below is a list of our favorite resources so far.  We’ll be adding to this over time, but here’s a few to get you started.  Feel free to email suggestions to commons@buildingmovement.org.
