Long before any rulers held sway over humanity, men and women established customs and laws among themselves to ensure their peace and liberties as free, self-governing people. They did so from an inherent recognition of a Natural Law of Equality or Divine Law whereby no one has any right to dominate or rule over others. To seize more of creation than any other, or to own any part of a world given equally to all people.  The only purpose, for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community against his or her will, is to prevent harm to others.

Community Assemblies are groups of women and men that provide mutual support to residents and each other to ensure all are treated fairly by the authorities, including health and social care services. Community Assembly Kernow is the Regional Assembly for Cornwall and is currently acting as a temporary stopping place for those who don’t have a Local or Regional Assemby of their own.  These Assemblies are made up of residents concerned about a lack of democratic process at a local and national level, dedicated to preserving and asserting our inalienable rights and obligations to ourselves, the planet and future generations.
