Community controlled solar power

Jura Books is on the way to becoming solar-powered! Jura is a not-for-profit bookshop, community library and social space run by a democratic, volunteer, anarchist collective. The solar system Jura hopes to install will be a community-owned renewable energy resource in the heart of Sydney's inner west. It will be a model of community-controlled renewable energy.

Help make Jura anarchist bookstore in Sydney solar powered

Many people in the Jura community are actively fighting climate change and building the grassroots movement for a sustainable planet. Recently some of us went to Newcastle and (along with hundreds of other people) successfully blockaded the world's largest coal port and stopped the coal ships for a whole day.

Now we want to make Jura solar powered. We believe that community-owned and controlled renewable energy systems are part of the solution to the climate crisis. We would like you to join us in owning a renewable energy system.
