Building the Evolver Social Movement

Any large group of people sharing the same ideas and intentions represents a political force. In a time of crisis and turbulence, a relatively small number of people who are unified can have a very significant effect on the direction of society. We are in such a crisis, one that we expect to get far deeper in the next few years. As this crisis deepens, there exists a tremendous opportunity to bring about a transformation of values and ideas, culture and consciousness.

The intention of the Evolver Social Movement is to work toward an orchestrated uprising of the human spirit against those forces that seek to control and imprison it. The basic principles and goals of the Evolver Social Movement include the following:

Self-sufficiency and local resilience
People’s democracy: direct decisionmaking as opposed to remote-control rule
Creative and personal freedom within the context of ecological and social responsibility
Freedom of self-determination of consciousness
Bring an end to the dominance of the corporate military complex
Undo the poisoning of air, land, and sea by applying techniques of ecological design
Reduce and ultimately eliminate inequity by transforming the monetary system
Reconnection with nature and support for local knowledge and indigenous ways
Innovations in science and technology mediated by actual needs of civil society
Nonviolence: global peace as an end goal

We don’t know if any of these goals are achievable during our present lifetime. Some of them – such as remediating the pollution that has damaged the biosphere – will require a commitment of many generations. We do know that the pace of change continues to increase. When we explore recent discoveries in sciences ranging from physics to biology, there are good reasons to believe that a quantum jump in the awareness and habitual behavior of our species is possible, perhaps even inevitable.

The obvious question is how to achieve such lofty goals and principles, which are shared by many, in a rapid timeframe?

We believe that the answer to that question involves utilizing the power of social networks and social media to connect people, educate them, and bring them together in an organizing infrastructure, the Evolver Social Movement.
