GLOBAL REBOOT

4/22/2020

Lets face it: As deadly, destructive and scary as this pandemic has been, it has also been a blessing in many ways. COVID-19 has brought corrupt governments and an unfair, unsustainable economy to a halt. It has reduced gun violence, gotten people out of their cars, and given the natural environment a much-needed break. Cities like Los Angeles and New Delhi are reporting cleaner air than they have in decades.

Those of us who have been seeking positive change in this world have wondered how we were ever going to stop the insanity. Then this infectious disease appeared and it managed to shut down the whole world in a matter of weeks. Yes, it may seem frightening and lonely to think about what's going to happen next. Far too many people are barely making it, with no safety net, and that must change.

But we can also see this virus as an opportunity for us to claim our power to create a global society where EVERYONE can thrive. The world needed a major reboot, and the first step of that reboot has already happened. Everything has been shut down temporarily.

Now, we have to do our part. Let's come together to decide what kind of world we want to create. If you are committed to a more peaceful, sustainable and balanced global society, we want to hear from you. We invite ALL INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS that are working to make the world a better place to join in this Global Reboot. Let's generate a shared vision for the future of humanity, including the specific outcomes we want to attain: End global hunger? Bring climate change to a halt? World peace? Clean air and water? Human rights? Let's envision the world we want right now, together, at this key moment in time.

We have to move fast. The idea is to keep the machinery unplugged until the changes we seek are put in place. This is going to take sacrifice, courage, and tremendous solidarity. In essence, we are organizing a movement of nonviolent noncooperation. We have no idea how long this pandemic will last. Those in power are getting restless, and they want to reopen the economy regardless of the human cost. They know that their power structure is in jeopardy. The longer things are shut down, the less dependent we are on them. Millions of individuals, families, and communities are becoming more self-sufficient during this outbreak. We have to be. And we must look out for each other, too. The key to the success of this Global Reboot is a spirit of interdependence—a commitment to sharing and caring for one another. We must do what we can to make sure that the people in our lives don't go hungry or homeless during this critical time.

Now comes the most important step in this Global Reboot. Once we are unified in our determination not to go back to the way things were before, and we have the attention of the power elite, we must have specific initiatives to put in place. This is not simply about making demands. We must offer selfless leadership, as well as wisdom and guidance, showing the world how it can thrive. Here are a few  suggestions of what we can put in place right now: sustainable local economies; basic human rights to food, shelter, healthcare, education, and free speech; protection of habitats and biodiversity; communities free of garbage, landfills, and toxic waste dumps; and a plan to guarantee that future generations will have the opportunity not just to survive but to thrive.

If your heart has longed for a better world, not just for yourself but for your children and grandchildren, now is the time to act. Contact me. Just say, “I'M IN!" or if you represent a group or organization, “WE'RE IN!” we will then send some guidelines for secure channels of communication. Let's do this!

Love this! YES! GREAT WORK! As your friend and obsessive editor, just want to point out that the font changes color in the last few words of the 4th paragraph and that in the fifth paragraph, after the word "leadership", should the word "a" be "as"? YOU ROCK, VICTOR!

Instead of seeing this great opportunity as a pandemic, I see it as a Global Time out by Mother Earth telling us that we have been disrespectful to her and MUST stop. Its the first time in history that something like this has happened to everyone at the same time.... NO Discrimination. Proof that we are all ONE.

Ecocities are ecologically healthy cities. None exist yet.

But they can, should, have to happen and some are changing in that right direction: cities for humans primarily on our feet rather than in their cars; cities, towns and even villages laid out on the human, the pedestrian measure and walking speeds, assisted by bicycles, then transit; and all hands on board to avoid cars and sprawl development. There are infinite design possibilities. Plunge on in! Think it thorough. Let's get it built.

You've expressed with intelligence & heart, the concerns of us all. My part for now is chanting The Gayatri & chants that bring Light minds together for harmony. Sound brings change. I already live simple, naturally & encouraging others to do same & read your message.

Buying more bulk foods saves packaging & landfill-trash. Growing in community gardens may work too. Home schooling by caring adults.

In the new 5 k atmosphere, am wearing more real gems on neck or kept on me somewhere. everyday to keep me protected & focused.

Jaya, Carol
