Our Trust
After reading this, please endorse below as The Transition sees YOU as one of our many beneficiaries.
Intent: We unite and empower people to take positive action towards enhancing and protecting all life and our environment for future generations.
Purpose: Our purpose is to construct real solutions by providing the support, space, and resources for the common heritage of the Earth's resources and to do so via our collective knowledge. We are committed to building community projects that promote organic farming, alternative transportation, clean drinking water, renewable energy, green building, and using music and the arts to convey the message.
With a special focus on street-involved youth and families living in poverty, we encourage community involvement through collaborative volunteerism, education, programs and media events. We help others enhance their food and housing security, learn life skills, and build confidence to make the transition to a more sustainable lifestyle - leading to a Global Egalitarian System for the good of all.
We strive to create an inclusive community where all members have the skills, confidence, and support to live a healthy life. It is our pledge to each other and to the world we are creating, to help each other live life to the fullest.
Our method of collaboration within our Transition Inter-Community Network is based on scientific benchmarks to meet everyone's’ needs - instead of what’s most profitable - therefore exchange between members requires no monetary attachment.

Ivi Brown commented on Selfishness Is Unecessary 2017-01-16 07:41:06 -0600 on January 16, 2017 at 07:41 AM (CST)This is a wonderful meme to reach people that think they have to just “take care of their own.” Love it.

Because no matter what, the transition is happening regardless. NOW is the time to step up and join together to help each other to weather the winds of change. If we do this, we will come out on the other side much more positively. We will awaken to a higher consciousness manifested, accepted, and even encouraged by the norms of our world, and our fears will experience an amazing metamorphosis where it will grow wings and learn to fly as joy and hope.
