OUR MOVEMENT

This is not a manifesto[edit]

These writings contain some thoughts on the philosophy and organization of our movement, but without the pretension of bringing a finished framework. They offer a starting point, rather than an end point. Hopefully, it will inspire its readers.

Inclusiveness[edit]

A central concept in our political philosophy is that of inclusiveness. We aim for a world in which everyone, young and old, men and women, majority and minority, can contribute to and enjoy the fruits of a just and peaceful society, a society that respects human rights and that values education, science and culture. The journey that will bring us there is long and not easy. We must realize that we are all in this together. Many problems facing humanity are urgent and must be addressed, requiring concerted action at all scales, from local to global.
