To build towards such deep transformation, we commit to:
Share and understand critical strategies for change, and promote inspiring stories of transformation that are already in place.
Contribute to a common struggle for disarmament and peace to create a just social and ecological transition.
Explore and deepen our common positions, ethics and values, even as we celebrate and respect diversity and differences.
Affect and step into responsibility for political decision-making, most importantly through building people’s power on the ground. We act to affirm that this is power not to dominate (‘power over’), but to transform positively (‘power to/with’)
Link movements of resistance and constructive alternatives to create the worlds that we want.
Promote direct action on the ground, locally to globally,transcending nation-state to build solidarity and care between humans and non-humans everywhere.
Extend our respect and care to the wider circle of life.
Promote mass egalitarian regenerative technologies and convivial tools that are under democratic control.
Build a common (but pluralistic, culturally diverse) dictionary and understanding of terms in various languages
Explore the extent to which systems of domination are embedded in our own habitual ways of organising and relating, and commit to the work of personal and collective healing that supports us towards more deeply connected ways of being.
While there are powerful people’s movements articulating and resisting the forces behind these crises, as well as practising and promoting radical alternatives that are equitable and sustainable, we lack a coherent, combined response. We commit ourselves to enabling such a gathering of forces working together across our communities, organisations and movements on communication, relationship building and collaboration.. We do this in the spirit of democratic, non-hierarchical mobilisation, open to a pluriverse of ideologies, strategies, pathways, and perspectives seeking progressive transformation towards the worlds we want and need.
