Description
We are a non-sectarian community, not based in prayer or religious doctrine, affiliated with the Catholic Worker movement through many years of personal association, and a deeply shared ethical and social vision. Our common purpose is to explore and demonstrate an ecologically sustainable way of life within a city, based on agricultural use of yards and open land, and a simple common life, to minimize our consumption of world resources. We also practice radical direct action for justice and peace and use our houses and land for education about peacemaking and the nonviolent way of life we seek to develop.
We have a network of seven houses in an inner-city Nashville neighborhood, with about an acre and a half of land, and housing for two dozen residents. Each household is autonomous. We welcome visits and inquiries from people interested in our ideas and practice, and occasionally have openings for like-minded people interested in joining us as residents.

What We Do
Ownership of other autonomous houses in our network is already spun off to young local activists. We do not presently do classic CW hospitality for people in distress, but our members are deeply engaged as co-founders and/or key workers in five small non-profits that do direct service and advocacy for poor people and for justice in general:
A) OpenTableNashville.org - service outreach and advocacy for many homeless friends.
B) NashvilleFoodProject.org - food rescue, and meal preparation and distribution for poor people experiencing food insecurity.
C) WorkersDignity.org - organizing and advocacy to prevent wage theft and gain better conditions for immigrant workers and public transportation workers.
D) Interfaith Power & Light ( Facebook -@NashvilleTIPL ) - organizing among church groups for clean energy and environmental responsibility.
E) NashvillePeaceJustice.org - a coalition of local organizations working on many justice and peace issues.
