Message from the NuLeadership Village

With your support, we can build a NuLegacy.

Dear Friends & Community,

We are thrilled to share some exciting updates and invite you to roll up your sleeves and join us in building a NuLegacy for all!

We just purchased 20 acres of land in Enfield, New York, 15 minutes west of downtown Ithaca! We’re proudly calling it “The People’s Land,” a transformative site that will be home to the NuLegacy Center for Earth and Human Wellness — a beacon for self-determination and cooperation. Here, we envision a space that transcends traditional boundaries, encompassing cooperatively owned transitional and long-term housing, a healing and wellness retreat center, expansive farmland, and dedicated education space. We extend heartfelt gratitude to Chad and Tenah Dyer of Future Allies, whose partnership and love has made this ambitious endeavor possible!

Together, we will build from the ground up, fostering a cooperative spirit that transcends mere construction. Through this process, the community will undergo comprehensive training, acquiring diverse skills in construction, carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, land stewardship, farming, food justice, environmental justice, political education, and land and community sovereignty. The People’s Land is more than a physical space; it is a testament to our commitment to cooperative growth, community resilience, and holistic well-being.

To bring The People’s Land to life, we aim to raise $1,000,000. You can donate to our fund for The People’s Land, spread the word, sign up to volunteer, or contact us at info@nuleadership.org for more information about the Center for NuLeadership and the land.
