ROD (Radykalne Ogrodki Dzialkowe) – engl. Radical Allotment Gardens – is a project in warsaw which embraces Reclaim the Fields movement. at march 2015 we’ve occupied a territory of partly abandoned allotment gardens at the southwest of warsaw and started to restore this land. We started to support people who stayed there despite the fact that the developer was spreading the panic by frightening them and trying to get them out. As well, we want to save the territory of the allotment gardens and the green area around it from privatization and organize the social gardens and other kinds of activity which will include the local citizens and people from other places who want to join us.
What we want is spread the idea of occupying the lands and giving them back to people. we use renewable sources of energy and try to educate people about ecological ways of existence which use DIY and recycling activities. We as well are getting new knowledge about managing gardens, growing plants, building stoves and organizing social spaces, making tools and so on. We are a collective which resists hierarchic way of social organization, sexism, racism and other ways of social and economical discrimination.
