This article examines how long‐standing local conflicts concerning the nature of common property, the distribution of access and administrative rights associated with it, and more broadly the nature of the community and the forms of citizenship that organise its governance shape demands for justice regarding land transfers to outside investors in a Mexican ejido. It describes how local actors mobilise a complex portfolio of legal, political, administrative and media resources to demand justice with the aim of transforming local power structures and the very definition of the community, far beyond what is denounced as land grabbing. It illustrates how demands for land justice can reshape the relationship between different categories of local citizens and the definition of local citizenship itself
