A PPT. of SLIDE-SIZED discussion starter: SOCIAL POLITICAL ECONOMY FOR HUMANITY’S PLANETARY TRUSTEESHIP
– where
– POLITICAL = methods of governance; inseparable from …..
– ECONOMY = money, business, finance for trading in all of society’s regional and global housekeeping, sharing risk and reward transparently…;
– HUMANITY’S = all of us in our interdependence (voters, activists, general public, human);
– PLANETARY = all related – biospheric /ecological /environmental concerns; the very ‘ground of our being’

A major effort is being made to encourage Local Global Tables, by whatever name, around the country to prosper the cause of inclusive justice in DemoCafes demonstrating the dialogue that is the basis of effective democracy. Reports will be given. Please report any initiative in this direction.
Please add your comments on the issues and actions we appraise each week.
Discussion is determined by those present. We are concentrating at this time on systemic change and the enabling contribution we are making in a bold bid to ‘a noble mission to make the earth ‘a common treasury for us all’. NOTE various contributions from associates below.
The 2015 Constitutionalists Charter is an incremental, imperfect process of evolving a People’s Political Economy of Inter-Generational Trusteeship for the Earth in a context of Ecology and Evolution. It must dominate our thought and action in the next two months. Please take time to follow this practical initiative, participating in what ever ways you can. Our achievement won’t be dramatic by, May but we are gathering a large number of people and learning many lessons as we proceed. You will receive by a separate email the rich range of material we are putting together around the 2015 Constitutionalists Charter.
Thoughts encouraging collaboration……. “When individuals join in a cooperative venture, the power generated far exceeds what they could have accomplished acting individually.”— R. B. Fuller “You are not as drop in the ocean, but you are the entire ocean in a drop”.
