DEMOCRACY IS UNDER ATTACK
For twenty long and deadly years, democracy has declined. While democracies lead to unity, equality and freedom, dictatorships lead to division, war and oppression. Besides increased dictatorship and imperialism, there is also an unprecedented rise of fascism again. We face difficult times.
Yet, there is always hope. Throughout history citizens have liberated themselves through nonviolent resistance. This is based on the idea that power is based on the obedience of the people. Therefore, it is possible to take that obedience away and nonviolently return power to the people – or change policy.
In this struggle for democracy, activists and active citizens play an important role. They are usually the democratic vanguard promoting love, truth, freedom, dignity and justice in society. Simply caring about the state of the country, voting and reading the news is already active citizenship.
They are citizens who have overcome their fears from repression and decided to challenge their governments. How can we best support them? Research has shown that activists and active citizens are best supported through training and strategy.
Our mission is to educate activists and active citizens on the use of nonviolent resistance so that they can become as effective as possible – and turn the tide of democratic decline and prevent a Third World War between democracies and autocracies.
