From www.ic.org/directory/quercus/:

Quercus is an urban, income-sharing commune forming in Richmond, VA. We are dedicated to ecological conservation, social justice, personal growth, and leading lives of beauty, agency, and fun.

We hold our land, labor, income and other resources in common, and distribute them according to the needs of our members. We promote a strong culture of proactive interpersonal communication and strive for our members to develop strong relationships, both with one another and our surrounding community. We govern ourselves via consensus decision making, and we’re dedicated to dismantling systems of arbitrary hierarchy, wherever they may be found. Ultimately, we wish for our project, and those of similar principles, to be endeavors of growth and reach, so that egalitarianism might spread further into the world.

Not-so- ideological interests and hobbies of current Quercus members include, but are not limited to: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Acro-Yoga, Yarn Bombing, and Bicycle Flash Mobs.

We currently have four core members and are searching for a couple more, along with as many allies as we can find. We moved in October 1, 2015. Let us know in what ways you're interested.
