welcome
The website
This website is an explanation and invitation to a project. It is not the project itself, it serves to inform people how to get involved with it.
The project:
to create an organizational model that functions to encourage people to create and participate in community. this is a replicable model that forms a multitude of communities that are networked to one another. Within the communities, all individuals are invited to envision how to better their own community, and work towards achieving the diverse collective visions, without oppressing anyone. eventually this turns into a social movement that has potential global change possibilities.
current
Currently being worked on:
--- This website is under constant development, and it invites you to help make it better so that it can be more useful for others
--- a Core group of project-starters being formed, and we are discussing who we want to start the project with
--- the starting Location for project start is the SF/Bay Area | potentially elsewhere/no particular place
--- Original project framework/design still very flexible, currently being envisioned with your help
--- developing an action plan for getting the project from a theoretical to a functional state
--- Additional resources and tools for project start being developed
--- Looking and asking for a lot of vision and guidance from everyone
--- Figuring out how to be radically inclusive, inviting all people, yet still doing something radical/alternative.
envision
picture the world you want to live in.
share the change you wish to see with those that are around you, and work with them to make it possible. Together we share a collective vision of bettering our communities, changing systems of society, and taking care of our world. Differences in vision will not stop the project, they allow multiple views on achieving change through multiple solutions. Living in difference with each other seems much more ideal than living without each other, or where large portions of society are oppressed.
a collective visioning process:
gives agency and independence to individuals to take part in changing their own communities. Most models for change come from a single individual or small group, and implement their views in other's lives, and as a result - many people live in disagreement with society. If communities and in turn, society, is designed in a way that functions only as a result of community participation, then everyone has had the opportunity to develop how society runs.
