In my talk I explore the dilemmas of the pluriverse, self-determination and sustainability through a feminist political ecology approach to Earthothers, differential belonging and Caring for Country. I set out a feminist post-capitalist imaginary for multispecies ecological justice in an analysis of racial and ecological justice struggles in Australia around land rights, dispossession and commoning projects. I discuss the possibilities of creating new forms of commons that embrace different life-worlds and world-making projects to more-than-human communities. I analyse how these forms of commoning are part of the search for inclusive ecological justice and are an important process of healing and rethinking past, present and future. I argue that is possible and necessary to foster new ethics of belonging which nurture collective subjectivities of being-in-common.
