Why a New Humanity Must Rise
The unprecedented changes we are facing in our natural and social environments require a transformation of who we are and how we live. Therefore, we call for the birth of a new humanity.
A new humankind that recognizes the interconnectedness of all life and makes the planet's well-being the foundation of all its values is urgently needed.
As Homo sapiens, our intelligence has helped us accomplish much, but it's not enough to solve the challenges we face as a planet. To overcome them, we must expand our consciousness and transform into Homo coexistence, a species that lives in harmony with the earth, nature, and all life. If we don’t choose coexistence, we will bring about our own destruction.
The time for this shift is now.
Change Is Urgent and Inevitable
Humanity stands at a crossroads. Worsening climate change, ecological collapse, uncontrollable technological advancements, and the increasing threat of violent conflict make it clear that time is running out for our species. We must take immediate action to turn things around. We need to undergo a radical shift in our thinking and behavior to address these challenges.
There Is a Better Story
While humanity has a history of competing and struggling for dominance, causing suffering to individuals and devastation to the planet, we must recognize that this is not our only story. Our true story, one of greatness and beauty, has yet to be written. The choice and power to shape our destiny is in our own hands, now more than ever.
We Are Ready
The answers to our problems are already available to us. What we need is to make a choice and commitment. If we are concerned about the future of humanity and our planet, if we’re dedicated to leaving the earth in a better state than it is now, if each of us is willing to play our role in contributing to a future that is sustainable, just, and peaceful, then we are ready to transform ourselves into a new kind of humanity.
Declaration of Who We Are
We Choose Who We Are
We recognize that we are not bound by any dogma, religion, or limiting belief system. By breaking free from the constraints of the past, we take ownership of our bodies, minds, and consciousness, and create a new path toward a more peaceful and sustainable future.
We Are Earth Citizens
We recognize that we are citizens of the world, transcending skin color, language, race, culture, religion, and nationality. We understand that we share a common identity as inhabitants of this planet. We are committed to fostering the health of the earth and all life and to promoting harmonious coexistence with each other and the earth.
We Are Nature
We recognize that we are not separate from nature but are an integral part of it. We understand that our actions have a profound impact on the natural world. By embracing our natural essence, we restore our connection with nature and work toward creating a healthier relationship with our planet.
We Are the Earth’s Future
We recognize that the earth's future is not someone else's problem but the responsibility of each of us to protect and preserve. By embracing this responsibility, we can create a sustainable and thriving future for our planet and all its residents.
