📅 17 November 2012 📍 France

After weeks of evictions at the planned airport site, tens of thousands joined a march to rebuild homes and structures in the occupied zone. Local farmers, residents and supporters described the land as a commons and opposed a project they saw as ecologically destructive and imposed without adequate local consent. The mobilization widened the ZAD beyond a single infrastructure dispute, presenting collective farming and shared habitation as alternatives. Estimates differed among organizers and media.
