executives, and elected officials comprising the corporate class – will also take individuals aligned with the campaign seriously And they

will engage, because the campaign and the individuals associated with it will be seen as threatening their very existence.

So, in anticipation of such, the campaign will need to reconfigure itself from an education-based organization to a political-based organization, much like what liberation theology did. Mostly, this will require people not only to understand these ideas are well-founded, but that ideas also have

consequences which require people to act

upon what they know and what they have

learned. In short, the moral foundation of these

exercises demand nothing less. If people want change, there will be no going back.

Thus, it is proposed a Dignity Party be established. In creating this party, one should build upon the voluntary associations to generate a coordinated campaign including the

precise number of individuals involved and

survey data on program acceptance. The party

could mimic what work on eco-cultural

communities and regions has been done, how they might appear, and use that framework to

host regional rallies. For example, the party could host twelve or more regional rallies scheduled across a year’s time, which would serve to articulate findings, principles, and goals of the party, based as those would be on the work done within Human Dignity Projects and Campaign for Human Dignity. This would go a long way in providing a means of proactive engagement rather than passive protest.

It is said “party,” only because there must be an

organizing element in the short and long term, both to address contemporary issues within our existing political system and to prepare for the future wherein multiple parties may be present that allow for the representation and promotion of diversity and difference. The “party” could then work to promote the work and findings of its associations and communities, not to mention newly formed parties, in support and development of what would be larger regional, national, and continental parliaments.
