In his own words, Bollier said "I am an independent policy strategist, journalist, activist and consultant with an evolving public-interest portfolio. My work tends to focus on a few key concerns: reclaiming the American commons, understanding how digital technologies are changing democratic culture, fighting the excesses of intellectual property law, fortifying consumer rights and promoting citizen action.

Most of my work these days is focused on the politics, economics and culture of the commons. In addition to speaking and writing frequently about the commons, I edit the web portal and blog OnTheCommons.org. Newcomers to the commons might want to start by reading a terrific flyer, "Let's Reclaim the Commons," the first State of the Commons report, or any of my speeches."
