building and growing living Democracies and cultures
“Living democracies are based on the intrinsic worth of all species, all peoples, all cultures; a just and equal sharing of this earth’s vital resources; and sharing the decisions about the use of these resources.
Living cultures are spaces in which we shape and live our diverse values, beliefs, practices, and traditions, while fully embracing our common, universal humanity, and our commonality with other species through soil, water, and air.
Living cultures are based on nonviolence and compassion, diversity and pluralism, equality and justice, and respect for life in all its diversity”
