About The Undercommons

The Undercommons is a post-capitalist bartering network built on mutual aid, trust, and the belief that everyone has value — even if they think they don't. Our platform allows people to exchange time, skills, labor, space, and items freely and fairly, outside of traditional monetary systems. Whether you're offering a ride, building a bookshelf, sharing your knowledge, or lending tools — this is a space to meet real needs, without money getting in the way. This isn't just a website; it's a movement. A quiet rebellion against overconsumption, isolation, and economic gatekeeping. We’re building a system rooted in generosity, reciprocity, and human connection. You don’t need money to participate — just something to offer and something you're looking for in return. The name The Undercommons is a nod to the groundbreaking book by Fred Moten and Stefano Harney — a call to build informal, collective spaces that challenge dominant systems of control. Like the book, our platform embraces the idea of fugitive planning — creating life on the margins, in the cracks, in the commons we make together. We honor its spirit by offering a digital refuge for those who dream of a world beyond capitalism.
