Openlands
Protects the Natural and Open Spaces, Urban Forests, Waterways of Northeastern Illinois
Meeting # 3,868 – College of Complexes

Mission
Openlands protects the natural and open spaces of northeastern Illinois and the surrounding region to ensure cleaner air and water, protect natural habitats and wildlife, and help balance and enrich our lives.
Vision
Openlands’ vision for the region is a landscape that includes a vast network of land and water trails, tree-lined streets, and intimate public gardens within easy reach of every city dweller. It also includes parks and preserves big enough to provide natural habitat and to give visitors a sense of the vast prairies, woodlands, and wetlands that were here before the cities.

The college presently operates on a bi-weekly basis, with programs every two weeks

What is the Best Political Arrangement for Preserving Liberty?
Meetings # 3,867 - Starchild, Chair of the Libertarian Party of San Francisco; Justin Tucker, College regular and Chicago First Ward Libertarian Committeeperson

2026 marks 250 years of the Declaration of Independence. This document was a milestone in the history of the liberation of mankind. It was a major instance of Enlightenment political theory becoming praxis.

Each participant will make their case by answering a series of questions:
• Describe your ideal society, and how you think (anarchism or statism) would be conducive to getting there?
• What do you see as the primary objections to and dangers inherent in your vision, and how would you address those objections and dangers?
• Are you open to some people within your ideal society having smaller areas or groupings which are (anarchist or statist)?
• When do you think it is acceptable for an individual or institution to initiate force or fraud against others without their individual consent, and why?
• What current or past real-world historical examples, institutions, or practices come closest to your vision?

"Humane" Food Labels: What You Should Know
Some food labels may lead conscientious consumers to believe that meat and other products came from “humanely raised” animals. Yet, such claims are often backed by loosely defined standards and little regulation to ensure that farm animals do not suffer from cruel practices. Here's the truth behind the labels
