“Environmentalism without class struggle is just gardening.”

Now forming:🌳DomusVitrea☀️NatureHouse & Observatory is a from the roots up startup, 501(c)(3) Public Benefit Nonprofit for the Advancement of Scientific Discovery, in-search-of a fiscal sponsor in alignment with these stated values and goals.

To be established as a multi-stakeholder, federated union of co-operatives, a pragmatic, accessible, transitional socialist analog of capitalist municipalities, designed to serve those embracing eco-socialist principles as well as those propagandized against authentic mutualism.

This is a deliberate, intentional common sense informed by empirical science, not charismatic leadership, a true materialism rooted in data and verifiable outcomes, with our focus on vibrant ecocentric research, experimentation, innovation, and education.

“Strong people don’t need strong leaders.”

Prospectively building a land trust in Western Sonoma County’s queer-friendly Russian River Valley, we’re committed to fostering greater melanin abundance, explicitly including Black Trans Women, Femmes, and other gender-expansive, racialized oppressed.

This proposition aims to advance interdisciplinary knowledge in natural sciences—reinventing and implementing practical alternatives to failing critical infrastructure, integrating social services as essential municipal functions, and addressing unsustainable resource consumption.

Our goal is to provide accessible, scalable prefigurative solutions across individual, familial, and communal needs, ultimately serving as a public reservoir of knowledge shared through novel forms of communication by demonstration.

To be clear, this is about self-governance and engaged citizenship, a deeper democracy. Our approach moves beyond the outdated distinction between natural and social sciences and refutes the presumed “indeterminability of human action.”

This argument, in particular, fails to acknowledge the rigorous bridge-building work done through the ecological systems theory framework in multidisciplinary fields like environmental psychology, ecological psychology, ecological counseling, developmental psychology, education, community psychology, collaborative decision-making, social work, public health, and familial studies.

Together, we can establish a new tradition of municipal science, to live and learn experimentally, to optimize human strengths, and to accommodate human limitations. Implementing a new model of eco-tourism, healthy high density housing, transit oriented urban design that spotlights relationships between each other and the environment as we transition to a more equitable, just, and sustainable society.
