Declaration of Interdependence
Freedom and progress require autonomy for people and communities, support for systems of cooperation, and growth via mutual association with dispersed revocable power.
We hold these convictions to be vital to liberty, equity, and progress for all:
That no person or peoples are inherently superior to another.
That everyone is entitled to dignity, autonomy, and freedom to pursue their well‑being.
That different people find well‑being in various ways that will change over time.
—
That people exist in communities, thrive through cooperation, and flourish with belonging.
That communities may freely form mutual associations with limited, revocable power.
That all existing and emerging power must be regularly evaluated and broadly dispersed.
—
That people must be able to reasonably change the rules that govern their lives.
That people must be able to freely and fairly leave, seek, or create communities.
