The Place4Us VCC is devoted to the governance of the platform and the further development in service to the community of participants. Governance of the platform takes place here. Here we also develop concept, discuss how to increase the participant base, where to get funding, and what guidelines there are for the use of Place4Us. Our aim is to ensure that Place4Us is a platform that facilitates and host a global ecosystem of Virtual Community Centers (VCCs). This platform is open to every activist group worldwide, provided only that the group shares our general ethos for justice, equity, tolerance, peace, love and reverence for nature.
Most activities in the VCC are open to all registered participants on the platform. However, in a few cases we may require VCC membership for contributions. There are many Deliberation Rooms, and we are sure that some of them are of interest to you.
[Jan. 21, 2025] Publishing on Place4Us: We are currently discussing the publishing on Place4Us in the Deliberation Room "Journals, Magazines, Newsletters and Newspapers on Place4Us." If you are interested in the strategy of publishing on Place4Us, just come to this Deliberation Room and contribute to the deliberation.

[Feb. 12, 2026] Are we already at or close to a Point of no Return?: Damian Carrington raises this question in his article in the Guardian titled “Point of no return: a hellish ‘hothouse Earth’ getting closer, scientists say.” The most recent paper by Ripple et al. assesses “The risk of a hothouse Earth trajectory,” and the author's conclusions are pointing to an increasing probability of Earth moving into a hothouse state. The assessment should be an alarm bell for all of us. Continuing on the current path of our economy and society comes with the high risk of mass extinction, and the current uncertainty could soon turn into certainty.
