The Better
World Movement will create institutions that will provide an infrastructure that
will help make striving for a better world easier. But a firm foundation has already
been established.
The United Nations has shone as humanity's greatest hope for a more peaceful,
just and sustainable world for sixty years. It has helped to promote human rights,
freedom and democracy, erase poverty and hunger, improve health and education,
and urge the governments of the world to work together in peace. But the UN can
only do what governments allow it to do.
Across the globe, a people's movement has been growing to convince governments
to help the UN in its goals and to allow the UN to work more closely with civil
society in solving the planet's problems. People's Assemblies have convened at
the UN and in local gatherings around the world.
In the US, a grassroots campaign is spreading in support of a cabinet-level Department
of Peace. An international movement for Ministries of Peace is also growing. You
can help convince your leaders to make 'creating a better world' a national priority
by creating these government institutions for peace.
Socially
responsible investing has made tremendous strides towards influencing our current
economic institutions. Helping to promote a better world economy will greatly
accelerate the transformation of these institutions, which will have a profound
effect in establishing the infrastructure for many other better world institutions
in media, entertainment, education and many other fields.
