Prepare for change, build resilience, and prosper.

Clinging to business as usual is becoming an illusion.

The landscape is shifting, urging us to prepare as significant disruptions loom, particularly for Western societies. Our imperative is clear: unite in fortifying communities and charting a course towards a future of dynamic balance. At the heart of this endeavour lies the formation of cooperatives, a vital pillar within any sustainable economic framework and a major sector of a market economy in unison with small businesses and key industries.

Cooperatives offer a potent antidote to many challenges, bolstering small businesses and fostering efficient resource utilization while encouraging local industries. More industry based upon community ownership, keeps money circulating locally. Cooperatives are an investment in the lives of people and strengthen democracy.  The scope of cooperatives extends beyond commerce. From grassroots home-to-home food gardens to job creation initiatives, these cooperative ventures are also about mutual support and resilience within communities.

In a cooperative community, reliance on conventional currency is lessened as reciprocal exchanges and time-sharing schemes gain traction and  foster a circular economy that improves prosperity.

Our alliance with organisations like ClimateSafeVillages.org underscores our commitment to bolstering community resilience amidst the escalating climate crisis and looming economic downturn. For many of us, it will be about survival due to the enormous impact of climate change, belligerent power elites, and the massive debt of Ponzi economies bearing down. Resource and food shortages is reflected in the damage being done to our ecosystems and the oceans. We cannot continue in this manner while eventually, we need to bring about a Guaranteed Minimum Income (GMI) of Education, Housing, Food, Medical Care and Clothing in a world that has enormous productive capacity, especially as automation takes hold.

As advocates for a just society, we endorse the notion of universal basic income as a temporary measure to mitigate the fallout of systemic failures in governance and corporate stewardship. Through cooperative endeavour, we chart a path forward, shaping a future defined by collaboration and resilience.

For millions of us, we develop 'stay where you are' cooperatives as well as survival havens and look forward to a more equitable society as we educate our children for a brighter future. We move together leaving no-one behind.
