The Human Elements

By building from core human values and commonality, you have created a truly inclusive and diverse approach to change. This allows the broadest possible outreach and influence possible, across a diverse spectrum.
"We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men." – Herman Melville

Connected Community

Imagine what could happen if we really had connected communities?
What would that even look like?
It might look like someone has your back, and that you have their backs?
Humans are built to live in community, it is only our cultural construct that tells us that the individual is more important, that community is about like mindedness, and not relationship. The cultural messaging has labeled us and kept us in silos of religion, politics, race, gender, economic status... the list goes on and on. As humans, none of that is more important than making connections and building relationship. When we are at our most human, together, amazing things can happen!
What would it look like if law enforcement was an integrated part of the community?
What if officers had a neighborhood role in times of emergency, working with their community and businesses to organize and care for each other?
What if peoples hobbies became a key part of recovering from disaster?
A Mosquito fleet that reconnects people and delivers needed supplies...
​A Pony Express that does the same?
Working together creates capacity, connection and caring creates compassion, organizing creates ability! All together you create opportunity and your community thrives!
It begins by breaking bread together and builds to connection, and relationship!
“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” – Mother Teresa

A Human Infrastructure

At the core humans have some very specific needs. Those needs are not being very well served in this culture, people are hungry, homeless, unemployed, and it is not getting better. The vast majority are one paycheck away from being in the same boat. More to the point our agriculture practices are killing the soil and the nutritional value of our food is 50% of what it was in the 1960s. Add to that that aquifers all over the united states are about to fail, yes the ones big ag uses, and food will be a national issue, prices will soar and people will go without. The power infrastructure has not been significantly upgraded since the 1960s. We can do better!
Why does this not already exist? 
It does, in Germany, and other places in bits and pieces. For the same reason that we cannot take meaningful action on Climate Change, it is not in the interest of corporate profit. There are many ways to say this that all lead back to this truth. To change this and address the many other changes necessary to create a human culture and true resilience it requires a grassroots effort that has not been seen this century. And if we do not come together, now, our future, and our children's, looks stark indeed.
