The Grassroots Revolution is a consolidation of the progressive ideas, policies and organizations that for too long have stood alone in the face of corporate hegemony; gaining little traction if their solutions did not bring profit to those in positions of power. By unifying the myriad brilliant ideas, solutions, strategies, and efforts of the millions who have dedicated their lives to making the world a better place, we will move our civilization toward true democracy, social and economic justice, and environmental recovery. Grassroots intends to direct discourse away from bi-partisan politics to a more wholistic system in which cooperation and respectful collaboration take place between numerous stakeholders representing all portions of society. Realizing that division and separation have been imposed from the top-down in order to keep us disorganized and fighting against each other, we will unite under one banner, the Grassroots representing the regular people all over the worl

We all can all see the need for change in the way the planet is being controlled and managed. We are inundated with the horrifying images of violence, poverty, oppression, and environmental destruction that result from conditions of inequality, injustice, and exploitation. For many years those of us living in relative comfort have been able to turn a blind eye to the suffering our “systems” are creating for humans and for the Earth. But now we are waking up. We see that the top 1% of wealth-holders (the elite) in our world are using their immense economic power to manipulate our governments into creating conditions in which their wealth can continue to grow, with no responsibility being borne for the costs to the environment, society, human rights, or global peace. The Elite appear to have no regard for the suffering their greed is creating for the remaining 99% (the grassroots). They perpetrate the outright exploitation of workers, both at home - where the lowest paid workers

Welcome to Grassroots. An organized revolution of politics, society, economy and industry. There are many solutions to the problems we face on this planet. There are many solution makers who are working determinedly to see these solutions take hold in business and society. The Grassroots Revolution is here to unite the causes, to provide a mechanism to identify where we should be focusing our collective will and energy, and to put this collective will behind creating a future we can be proud of. Working together, we will see the myriad progressive ideas supported, employed, developed, nurtured, and becoming universal. Grassroots is here to create and amalgamate solutions, to actively work together to make a stand with our fellow humans against the injustices that are rampant in our economic, military, corporate and political systems. The Grassroots ideas will spread across the world and dig in deep, just as the roots of the grass that covers the land. We will work with the leaders of

As someone who has promoted progressive social, environmental, and governmental issues for over half of my life, I am no stranger to opposition. However, some of the interactions I have been having over the past few weeks have escalated to senseless bickering (over semantics, ideologies, definitions, generalizations, personal attacks, generational attacks, etc.) that seems to end up with both sides walking away feeling unheard, misunderstood, insulted and increasingly frustrated. These interactions bring to my attention that many of the things we dare to say from behind our screens would never be considered in face-to-face interactions - our mothers taught us better than that. As we realize from our experiences with text messaging, it is very difficult to get the true meaning of our words across through a keyboard; typing all the context of our thoughts is too time consuming and finger-cramping. Speech and spoken dialogue remain much better ways to work through difficult ideas with a
