GLOBAL DECLARATION OF INTERDEPENDENCE

Vision

Imagine 1000’s of organizations and businesses that work for peace and sustainability establishing such collaborative working relationships and being so well linked around the world that a success in one region is soon modeled in dozens of others!

Imagine those organizations participating in global events that take place several times a year, with substantial media coverage, in which visionaries, activists, artists, celebrities, diplomats, socially responsible business leaders, forward thinking government officials, and the general public come together to celebrate, share information and take action regarding issues that affect the whole planet!

Now imagine after each event thousands of new people get involved, and eventually millions swell the ranks (and fill the coffers) of non-profit peace and environmental organizations and sustainable businesses worldwide, transforming society and themselves, consciously and collectively using their buying power, their voting power and their people power to move us visibly toward a world that works for all!

We can imagine it because we’re beginning to make it happen! We’ve put together a practical strategy and an incredible team to carry it out!

Strategy

THE BIG PICTURE
Internationally coordinated efforts to expand global markets and military operations have resulted in a catastrophic increase in poverty, violence, species destruction, and damage to our environment. This constitutes an ethical and spiritual crisis that transcends national boundaries. To address this, We, The World is committed to a global strategy that can galvanize people around the world to awareness and action while fostering personal growth and transformation – without which societal change cannot take place.

MISSION
The mission of We, The World is to maximize social change on a global scale. We are working to awaken a spirit of caring and involvement in the public so that millions of people begin to see themselves as part of one global interdependent community – and actively take part in creating a world that works for all!

Working with an extraordinarily accomplished

team, we have begun the process of building an unprecedented critical mass of individuals, organizations and coalitions whose efforts to create a caring world will be highly visible and accessible.

We are beginning by forming

global networks of collaboration between groups and individuals involved with: human rights, ecology and animal concerns, peace and nonviolence, creating ethical economic systems, creating cultures of caring, self-sustaining green communities, personal and societal transformation, and many others whose work concerns the interests of literally billions of people and other life on our planet.

OBJECTIVE
We, The World intends to create something the world has not seen before – a large scale, ethics-driven movement that broadcasts the following crucial message: A significant portion of humanity is becoming actively engaged in building a world in which every life matters.

This message is necessary to halt and reverse the “common sense” that increasingly dominates our planet: look out for yourself no matter what the consequences for other people, animals or our environment.

THE POWER WE EACH HAVE
Part of our goal is to cultivate a new sense of understanding about each individual’s impact on and power to influence the world’s social, economic and environmental systems – which affect all life on Earth.

Many people in the countries that control the most resources are unaware of all the effects of their common, everyday activities. In the United States, for example, few people realize that buying a single hamburger pays for the clearing of up to an estimated 55 square feet of rainforest to raise cattle – thereby killing the plants, animals, and sometimes the humans that lived there.

Individually and collectively, we have the power to transform the world by becoming conscious consumers and citizens, and by “being the change we wish to see in the world.” See

Values & Guiding Principles

INVOLVING THE PUBLIC IN A GLOBAL INTEGRATED MOVEMENT
Real change requires increasingly massive public involvement and transformation which politicians, multi-national corporations, and the commercial media can no longer ignore. This means integrating our efforts and letting the public know about it in new and creative ways.
To achieve mass public involvement, We, The World is connecting innumerable pathways around the many formidable obstacles to creating a caring planet. You are one of these pathways! Thank you for your commitment to building a better world.
