    With the tragic passing of Silke Helfrich on November 10, 2021, the Commons Strategies Group is pausing to reflect on its future role in the Commonsverse.

    David Bollier's remembrance of Silke can be read here, and here are tributes by the Commons Institute (English, German) and the Heinrich Boell Foundation ( English, German , Spanish ). Additional tributes can be found here.

    Inquiries about CSG or the contents of this website may be directed to David Bollier at david/at/bollier.org.
