Citizen-led Democracy makes possible peace, opportunity and wellbeing for all. GenR Rising makes possible Citizen-led Democracy. You make GenR Rising possible.

This post gives you a birds eye view of GenR Rising and Citizen-led Democracy in 3 zones - red, yellow and green, like a traffic light:

  • the Red Zone, showing the dangers of the top down status quo (ie annihilation)
  • the Orange Zone, showing the challenge we are facing, the assets we have and the constraints on us, and
  • the Green Zone outlining how we can lead the world to peace, opportunity and wellbeing for all. And have fun doing it!
The Red Zone - Get Real
  1. Where we are - increasing top down authoritarian governance worldwide; rule by fear; population surveillance; constant conflict; AI/nuclear weapons threaten to destroy us all.
  2. Inevitable Future - US soft power decline; reliance on “lethality; at best, a few autocratic power zones; at worst, nuclear destruction. Unless we regular people take action, now.
The Orange Zone - Get Ready
  1. The Challenge - that regular people (GenR) own our power, reinvent governance systems from the bottom up and lead the world to peace, opportunity and wellbeing for all (POW4all). 
  2. Assets - the large number of people desiring change; the talent, creativity and expertise housed in them; ability to communicate; inevitability of an idea whose time has come.
  3. Constraints - the stickiness of broken governance systems and low vibration leaders; lack of belief that we can change things; lack of organization and money; status quo media and opposition.
The Green Zone - Citizens Lead
  1. GenR Rising - member-led cooperative to show viability of a Citizen-led Future (CLF). Purpose: to empower, educate and entertain citizens and overcome constraints. Outputs: Reinvention Platform, PeaceLeadership Center and World Reinvention Forum among others.
  2. Citizen-led Democracy Projects -  mass gatherings of citizens; using Reinvention Platform to reinvent systems/rules and create CLD alternatives. Takes CLD from possibility to probability.
  3. Peace Leadership -  implementation of new systems; key components are the Reinvention Party and the Peace Leaders Network. Will inevitably lead to…
  4.  Peace, Opportunity and Wellbeing for All - inevitable outcome as Citizen-led Democracy spreads throughout the world and citizens become leaders.

Imagine

Imagine millions of citizens, individually powerless, but collectively powerful, coming together and saying, like today "we want system change", but unlike today, knowing how to reinvent and implement governance systems to align with a vision of peace, opportunity and wellbeing for all. No more nuclear threats, no more ethnic cleansing, no more deliberate cruelty.

Imagine yourself as a pioneer; you are on the leading edge to take citizen-led democracy from potential, to possibility, to probability to inevitability to reality.

And humanity to new heights

Tick Tock Tick. Time keeps on slippin' into the (Citizen-led) Future...

A fabulous Playing For Change version of Steve Miller's classic 1976 song with a message that is still relevant 50 years later.
