Since its foundation Libera has been soliciting and coordinating social activities against organized crime while encouraging the creation and the development of local communities that could be a valid alternative in the areas where the Mafia is strong.

[1] With Associazione Ricreativa e Culturale Italiana, Italian General Confederation of Labour, Rete degli Studenti Medi and Unione degli Universitari organizes the "Campi della Legalità" summer camps in different Italian regions where volunteers can work on lands that were properties of Mafia families, which now are controlled by the state and administrated by these associations.

The first action of Libera was the collection of one million signatures with purpose of a law proposal to permit the reusing of the goods confiscated from crime organizations and this was successfully made true on March 7, 1996.

The aim is to promote a legal economy in respect to workers' rights, the environment and the law, and by doing this to restore the value of activities that were abandoned due to fear of the mafia.

A lot of young students participate in this project of voluntary working and training in the lands or buildings taken from mafia and managed by social cooperatives that are part of Libera Terra.
