We envision a world in which humanity has successfully created a participatory, vital, and resilient civilization that is stable and thriving. In such a world, our economic incentives would align with collective flourishing, our institutions would be responsive, self-correcting and democratic, and our civic culture would need to be rooted in mutualism and inter-being. To enable those conditions, we would need to shift both our current systems and our current culture. These shifts are created by aligning, coordinating, collaborating, resourcing, convening, and learning civic innovators, organizers, and patrons as a global commons. By practicing these global coordination activities and implementing new systems and cultures locally, we create a distributed response to current crises, improve resilience to systemic shocks, and establish the underlying modular, composable, and interoperable structures required to shift civilization from the bottom up.
