Integral Activism
Integral as an
adjective means: necessary to make a whole complete; essential or fundamental.
Activism consists of efforts to promote, impede,
or direct social, political, economic, or environmental change, or stasis. The
term connotes a peaceful form of conflict.
What is Integral Activism? It’s a unique form of
activism designed to support, coordinate, integrate, and alter more traditional
forms of advocacy and activism. Integral Activism is in the business of helping
to make the world a better place for as many as possible. After all, the best
way to do that is to support the people already doing the work. A business
model is being considered for the legal structure as it has far fewer restrictions
than various non-profit structures. Final decisions are dependent on legal counsel.
Integral
Activism (hereafter referred to as IA)
has several functions including the following.
Fundraising
and Promotion of Existing Organizations:
IA operates
on the premise that one of the best ways to make the world a better place is to
support those doing good and noble work. With more than 1.5 million charitable
organizations in the U.S. alone, choosing whom to support can be an
overwhelming prospect. The intention of IA
is to simplify this process for you. One donation to IA and you can support a
wide variety of worthwhile causes and organizations or you can choose your
preferences. Visit the “Who We Support” page to view a list with helpful links.
Integrating
Organizations, Issues, and Efforts:
There are
currently multiple organizations working for the same ends and many
interrelated issues that need to be better coordinated. IA is dedicated to integrating a variety of issues, individuals,
and organizations for more effective outcomes. New initiatives, campaigns, and
organizations will be created through IA for these purposes. Examples can be
found in the “New Campaigns and Initiatives” heading below.
New
Campaigns and Initiatives:
IA is
dedicated to researching the best information and insights to create new groups
for and methods of disseminating important and factual unbiased information,
organizing events, reframing pertinent issues to positively affect our society.
Some of these initiatives include:
The 99 for 90% : an effort to educate citizenry about the history of
taxation and alter tax structures to benefit the many.
True(d) Patriots: an effort to revive and restore an appreciation of the
history of the beginnings of our Country.
AmeriCAN Day- an effort to restore good faith and integrity in a
government Of, By, and For The People of
the United States of America. July 20 is the anniversary date of the first
moon-walk when Americans demonstrated the incredible achievements possible by a
people united in a good and functional government. As Neil Armstrong stated,
“We came in peace for all mankind” and “One small step for man, one giant leap
for mankind”.
This commemorative date is one of many
further explained in Deep Demonstration Dates
Spiritual, but Not necessarily Religious – an organization to
strengthen interfaith harmony while helping to differentiate the differences
between spirituality (mature and well informed) and religion in effort to
facilitate the transcendence harmful religion to beneficial spirituality.
The New Feminist Movement – recognizing that there is far more to be
gained from gender equality than simple gender parity, The New Feminist
Movement realizes that slowing the human population explosion and incorporation
of female intellectual capital is essential to the well being of our planet.
Deep Demonstration Dates:
In an effort to increase the effectiveness of public demonstrations
while facilitating and integrating worthwhile advocacy organizations, I propose
annually reoccurring commemorative demonstration dates. For Example,
Dec. 19 could serve as a buy local day. This date is the anniversary of
the Boston Tea Party. This effort can help to educate the populace to the
mostly forgotten history in which Colonists protested the unfair tax advantages
(The Tea Act of 1773) given to the world’s first multinational corporation (the
East India Trading Company).
