Global Justice for all Life Day October 29 The Global Justice for all Life Day is on October 29 of each year. It is a time to get together and promote Justice for all life on our planet. The Global Justice Movement has many inter-related components: monetary, social, economic, environmental, democracy, and peace. The Global Justice Movement promotes new thinking to benefit all economies and societies Ð the true, fair, democratic and efficient solution to poverty. The Global Community has the productive resources to eliminate poverty and injustice. Humanity is now in the process of developing the democratic and transparent communications infrastructure which can bring this about. Our approach transcends left-wing/right-wing designations. We see both conventional capitalism and socialism as being two arms of a philosophy which concentrate power in an elite, to the detriment of society as a whole. Reforming the current money system, to empower each and every person, is a first step for justice. The Global Justice Movement stands for: 1. Each person has the right to have warmth, clean air, clean water, food and housing, along with access to a quality health and educational system. 2. Every person should be respected, equal, free and able to choose their own destiny. 3. Everyone should be able to fulfill their full emotional, intellectual and spiritual potential. 4. Every person must respect the rest of creation and take responsibility for preserving the environment including the fauna and flora, all of which are interdependent and share a divine origin with humanity. 5. The inalienable rights of the individual include the rights of life, liberty, access to productive property, truly free markets, and equal justice before the law. 6. Global Economic System that is fair for all. 7. It is the duty of democratic government to secure the results the people want from the transparent management of their public affairs, as far as such results do not infringe on the rights of the individual. 8. The Global Peace Movement is about educating ourselves to engage in personal diplomacy in another country. We are given opportunities to meet and listen to some of the leading authorities on such subjects as humanitarian and volunteerism, education, politics, historical, social and cultural perspectives, conflict management, teamwork, world affairs, community involvement, and religion. 9. Global Justice for all Life on the planet and it is about: * establishing respect for human and Earth rights; * implementing a global regulatory framework for capitals and corporations that emphasizes global corporate ethics, corporate social responsibility, protection of human and Earth rights, the environment, community and family aspects, safe working conditions, fair wages and sustainable consumption aspects; * establishing freshwater and clean air as primordial human rights; * practicing tolerance and living together in peace and harmony with one another as neighbours; * promoting the economic and social advancement of all peoples; * maintaining peace and security in the world by using negotiations and peaceful means; * finding unity in diversity with all Life; * establishing the respect for the life-support system of the planet; * keeping Earth healthy, productive and hospitable for all people and living things, and * applying the principle that when there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss. The Global Community has shown that corporate-style globalization that ignores the needs of the poor and the environment will no longer be tolerated. The Global Community is joining students, environmentalists, people of faith, human rights activists, and others, in the global struggle against corporate globalization being fought in cities and towns across the world. We works on issues of global economic and social justice and sustainability. We believe another world is possible and necessary. We envision a world free of corporate domination and crushing debt, particularly in communities of colour. We act to expose and change the institutionalized violence wrought by international financial and trade institutions such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and World Trade Organization. Cancel all impoverished country debt to the World Bank and IMF, using the institutions' own resources. End all World Bank and IMF policies that hinder people's access to food, clean water, shelter, health care, education, and right to organize. (Such "structural adjustment" policies include user fees, privatization, and so-called economic austerity programs). Stop all World Bank support for socially and environmentally destructive projects such as oil, gas, and mining activities, and all support for projects such as dams that include forced relocation of people. We are committed to nonviolence and recognizes militarism as a tool used by the global corporate elite to keep money flowing to the privileged few while restricting the rights of people worldwide. We oppose corporate practice which places short-term profits ahead of human dignity, sustainable development and a healthy earth. We stand for the globalization of our rights to speech, thought, religion, assembly, a clean environment, self-determination, freedom from fear and persecution and freedom from poverty. We stand for the rights of women, children, elderly, affordable health care, strong labor rights and social and economic policies that put people and the environment before profits. We are opposed to the globalization of greed and obscene concentrations of wealth -- we say that another world is possible and necessary. The Global Community is a non-hierarchical nonviolent organization of individuals and organizations that promotes the arts, conducts workshops, facilitates nonviolent direct actions, educates, organizes, campaigns, empowers, and aims to rip injustice from its roots.
