1. INTRODUCTION

We are human beings.

We live on a living planet with other living beings.

We have infinite worth and infinite ways of expressing our worth.

We must no longer sacrifice our boundless potential to profit.

We are told we are worth what we are paid.

We are told we are just consumers.

We are told there is no other way but capitalism.

We live in a toxic system based on greed and inequality.

A system where the majority of benefits go to the fewest people, while more than 20% of our kids live in poverty.

We are told to follow rules. We must conform. We must work longer hours for less pay.

We must serve the markets as if that’s what makes sense.

We are told lies.

We are told more lies.

We are not for sale.

We are not machines for the making of money and buying of things.

We are not consumers.

We are creators.

We are human beings with dignity.

We have had enough.

We are taking over.
