NEW MOVEMENT FOR SURVIVAL

The following DECLARATION and PLEDGE form a proposal for this world-wide Movement. It is being distributed to all relevant organisations and individuals in order to elicit widespread support. We invite you to show your support by signing the main Pledge, offering to help to build the Movement and choosing one or more supporting pledges to change your life. If you like, you can list them on the main pledge form below the main Pledge.

See panel on left for links to supporting pledges, background arguments and the origin of the New Movement.

DECLARATION

I give my wholehearted support to the New Movement for Survival, for its goal to develop a critical mass of public insistence that world governments and societies transform their priorities and values, as an essential step for averting calamitous climate change. In committing my support in this way I recognise:

The present world political system is too caught up in a vicious circle of short-term gratification with electorates and other interested parties, to be left to take the action needed within the necessary timescale - of possibly less than ten years from 2005;

Leadership for mounting the necessary insistence on governments thus has to come from outside the governmental system - from those who are already convinced of the necessity for the Movement, while engaging with the political system from a position of increasing influence;

The goal of the Movement requires it to address the dominant, exploitative, world-wide values system because it underlies not only the onset of climate change but all the other threats to the preservation of life on Earth in its present form;

The Movement thus has to cultivate and apply alternative, inclusive values and beliefs, which already prevail in the rest of nature, appear spontaneously at times of community crisis and among oppressed people, and are increasingly shared among human beings who are developing a holistic view of the world.

PLEDGE

As part of my commitment, I pledge to Value Life Itself above everything else, including individual self-interest, and to adjust my lifestyle in order to do so, as well as to take collective action in order to uphold this value.
