MATTERS IN THE AIR 

We continue to clarify the evolving relationship of this Open Table to its origins in CCMJ, and its relationship to the bold initiative in a universalist Peoples Political Economy of Trusteeship, the 2015Constitutionalists.uk.

Their roles are relatively distinct but their inter-action is a natural process of our dialogue as it relates to the amazing breadth and depth of initiatives taken by all you associates for whom we provide this weekly focus.

PLEASE NOTE AND REGISTER FOR June 6th 2015 – 10.00-16.00 – CCMJ ANNUAL APPRAISAL OF THE OUTREACH OF THE NETWORK at ST ANDREW’S CHURCH, Short Street, off The Cut, Waterloo,  SE1 8LJ, lying between Waterloo mainline and Southwark – Jubilee Line, stations. Knowledge of your intention to be at either or both of these events would be helpful in our planning. We will clarify on the day the relationship of a number of collaborating networks such as – CCMJ.org/wp • Forum for Stable Currencies • London Global Open Table • 2015CUK • Coalition for Economic Justice • EquilibriumState.org • Ourbrokensystem.com • Positive Money • Critical Thinking • Occupy • St Paul’s Institute • Kingdom at Work Project • SIMPOL • ECCR • NJPN • Civil Society Forum • Runnymede Project • Living Systems Group • LETSlinkUK • on and oin it goes..

July 11th 2-5  CONFEDERATION Rally at Vine Street Methodist Churxch opposite the SES. We are welcoming ideas on how to Build a Movement [TRUSTEES ALL] to get more people to understand and to work for Confederation as a way of developing the debates about Devolution, Subsidiarity etc. We are increasingly aware that systemic change is likely to come only from the ground up. Thus the discussions about a Movement as contrasted to a Party. We also recommend a fascinating TED talk by Heather Barnet on the extraordinary life of a slimemold, giving even more impetus to our attempts to stir a movement without formal organisation but just the hidden energy of cellular growth and human mutuality.

NB…available on request: A PPT. of SLIDE-SIZED discussion starter on : 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’ – TRUSTEESHIP / VISION = recognition of the covenant between all things ‘under the rainbow’, as the ‘internet of all things’  and ‘zero marginal costing’ allow us  to see ourselves at last as empathic, collaborating Homo. sapiens; bearing huge responsibility because of our consciousness and 0reflective ability to transform neo-liberalism into stakeholder (cooperative) uses of capital.  etc.. ///////////////////////////

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 months and years ahead. Please take time to follow this practical initiative, participating in what ever ways you can.
