By providing affordable, high-quality communal living arrangements, Finding Camelot reduces the financial burden of basic needs like housing, utilities, and services. This allows members to live sustainably without needing to dedicate every waking hour to survival.

• When people no longer live paycheck-to-paycheck, they gain the freedom to reject exploitative jobs.

• Employers, who rely on desperation to maintain low wages and poor conditions, will be forced to compete for labor by offering fair compensation and better treatment.

Finding Camelot’s communal model functions as a de facto unionization of its members. By sharing resources, responsibilities, and decision-making, the organization enables the working class to act collectively and support one another.

• Members collectively negotiate their worth in the workforce, leveraging their ability to walk away from exploitative jobs.

• Community decision-making fosters solidarity and dismantles the isolation that employers often exploit to keep workers disempowered.

Finding Camelot treats housing as a right, not a privilege. By pooling resources and offering room credits tied to membership levels, the organization ensures members can access secure, dignified housing without being beholden to landlords or predatory practices.

• Reducing housing insecurity eliminates one of the primary tools of control wielded over the working class.

• With stable housing, members can focus on personal growth, skill-building, and job mobility, rather than being trapped in cycles of poverty.

By reducing financial pressures, Finding Camelot enables members to work fewer hours while maintaining a high quality of life. This gives people the time to pursue personal, professional, and educational goals.

• Freeing up time restores workers’ ability to organize, advocate for better working conditions, and invest in their own empowerment.

• Employers lose the leverage of overwork and burnout, as workers can choose to leave toxic environments without fear of immediate financial ruin.

The organization’s structure ensures that wealth is reinvested into the community rather than extracted for profit. Membership fees fund shared services, home improvements, and communal benefits, creating a system where members directly see the value of their contributions.

• This challenges the profit-driven model where excess value (profits) is taken from workers and hoarded by corporations.

• Members experience the benefits of their labor firsthand, reinforcing the idea that wealth should be shared equitably.

Through household roles, democratic leadership, and programs like CareShare, Finding Camelot instills a sense of agency and self-worth in its members. This shifts the narrative from one of disempowerment to one of collective action and mutual support.

• Workers who feel valued in their community are less likely to tolerate dehumanizing conditions in the workplace.

• They become confident in asserting their rights and seeking jobs or projects that align with their values.

Finding Camelot’s philosophy directly critiques the current system, where the wealth created by labor disproportionately benefits shareholders and executives. By reducing dependence on traditional employment, the organization disrupts this extraction process.

• When workers can opt out of underpaid labor, employers are forced to return profits to those who generate them—workers themselves.

• This redistribution of power forces corporations to recognize the true value of labor and create equitable profit-sharing models or face a shrinking workforce.
  

Finding Camelot equips members with the tools and knowledge to understand their inherent power as owners of their labor. It frames economic independence as achievable through collective action and solidarity.

• Education is key to undermining the cultural narratives that keep workers feeling powerless.

• Members who recognize their worth and learn how to advocate for themselves inspire broader societal change.
