Our Vision
We envision a sustainable world in which everyone’s community supports the shared coordination of white-water systems; hydroponic and vertical gardens; solar, kinetic, and electric energy grids; and community governance through parpolity. All denizens of our community have their basic needs of food, water, clothing, and shelter met, and are supported in creating more value for themselves and others. We are a true, radical, deliberative democracy, advocating and maintaining a praxis for ecological justice, economic freedom, political sovereignty, and the liberation of all people and peoples from interpersonal and intergroup oppression and violence. We are united by a shared sense of responsibility to each other and our world. We have a well-educated, cosmopolitan, well-travelled, and internationally-interconnected populace who can discern fact from garbage and treat all other denizens with human dignity. Every denizen gives a 1-2 years of service to humanity and restoring our shared ecologies, where they learn to meaningfully collaborate and problem-solve with others. We have successfully advocated for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to address the impacts of slavery on black people in the country, and how racism impacts all of us today. We are a world healing, and standing firm, together for intergalactic peace. Our Interns and Fellows research, develop, and design game-based relational & civic experiences, participate in local issue and electoral politics, advocate political platforms to change public policy, develop governmental and non-profit programs, and coordinate public demonstrations as means of engaging democracy.
