The Commonwealth Islands are home to a progressive activist community. Up to 15 organizations and their staff, boards and volunteers are using the Second Life platform to build their capacity, promote progressive values and foster social change. The Commonwealth Group in Second Life includes, in addition, nearly 500 individual activists, academics, wonks and geeks who may or may not be affiliated with the resident organizations.

At ground level, the Islands are carefully crafted open space ecosystems that encourage community through exploration and shared experience. Meeting spaces (tree platforms, sea-side amphitheaters, campgrounds, etc.) are shared by the member groups for public and private events of all sizes. Skyboxes provide private meeting space and, at Eikios Commonwealth, demonstrate principles of sustainability.

Come visit! Individuals are welcome to explore and invited to join the group. Organizations are welcome to apply to become a member of the community. Fees are modest.
