Our Vision

We aspire to a world that is:

• Democratic, where all people have the power to shape their institutions and their societies.
• Decolonised, where all nations determine their collective destiny free from oppression.
• Just, that redresses inequality in our societies and the legacy of our shared history.
• Egalitarian, that serves the interests of the many, and never the few.
• Liberated, where all identities enjoy equal rights, recognition, and power.
• Solidaristic, where the struggle of each is the struggle of all.
• Sustainable, that respects planetary boundaries and protects frontline communities.
• Ecological, that brings human society into harmony with its habitat.
• Peaceful, where the violence of war is replaced by the diplomacy of peoples.
• Post-capitalist, that rewards all forms of labour while abolishing the cult of work.
• Prosperous, that eradicates poverty and invests in a future of shared abundance.
• Plural, where difference is celebrated as strength.
