Today, January 1st, 2010, dawns a new era for Humankind. This unique decade is unmatched by any others in our recorded history on planet Earth. We are faced with a collection of multilateral issues of dire importance; yet, have for decades excused the neglect of a majority with an outlandish claim of lacking resources. Well, that time is over. The time to prepare for the future of our kind is here. Thousands of years of evolution have brought us to a most pivotal point in our collective existence. It is our job; nay, our duty to provide safeguards to protect the future of not only our Posterity, but also of this majestic planet on which we live. Far too long now, these issues have been swept under the political rug by the bureaucratic nonsense of lobbyist-influenced politicians that seem to feel no urgency towards eradicating homelessness, poverty, health care costs, global climate issues related to our probable influence, as well as a slew of other pressing issues. Instead, the agenda consists of eradicating other people, keeping citizens in debt and poverty, letting private insurance companies dictate qualifications to receive care (qualifications to be provided health care!) and neglecting the empirical evidence daily piling up from scientists and climate researchers around the planet. Clearly, no single foundation is capable of taking on all of the challenges we face. But with your help, we can take this journey one step at a time.
The obvious question is: where do we begin? The most fundamental element of being Human is the innate connection we have with the rest of Humankind; so the only option is to make embracing this bond of utmost priority. Each and every one of us—all of Humankind—is intrinsically linked by a single...force, if you will (for lack of a better term,) which penetrates through our bodies to our very essence; our very being. It connects us. We are bound to it, by it. It is conscience and unconscious intertwining to form what we perceive as "reality." It is dreams, aspirations, successes, failures, wants, needs and hopes all wrapped up in a neat little box with colorful paper and a big red bow. It is everything we have ever liked, disliked, approved of, disapproved of, supported or opposed. It is full of beautiful, wondrous things. It is interaction with the environment; interaction with others. It is: Human life; and it is beautiful—all of it. Race, creed, nationality, culture, sex, sexual preference, financial status…etc; none of those traits matter because we all are a part of something deeper—we all, collectively, are Humankind. We must embrace this fact in Unity to provide a most favorable future for every Citizen of Earth. To do so would ensure that no person on Earth goes without a meal, shelter, clothing or quality health care. It is a downright shame that over 80,000 are homeless on the streets of Los Angeles alone; a city which boasts one of the world’s largest residencies of millionaires. With that knowledge, we should begin by realizing a dream to always see through the benevolence of our species. Starting here in Los Angeles, an example shall be set which the rest of the world would most assuredly desire to follow. Stand with me, in Unity and in hope to see this future manifest from our collective influence. I am reaching out to all of you in an attempt to gain an undeniable support for this most beneficial cause. It is only with your support that a design this intricate yet all-encompassing can be drawn and constructed. Let us leave a respectable mark in the history of our kind—one that will be remembered for ages to come.
This is not a foundation which requests any type of minimum donation as many others do. Rather, the focus of this organization is to get as many people involved as possible without any placement of financial burden on a single individual. Think about this: there are nearly 300 million citizens living in the United States. Around 35 million citizens live in California; over 10 million in Los Angeles alone. The primary goal of our first year together is to get 500,000 citizens to donate a single dollar. This, for a large portion of us, is simple pocket change; but it all adds up and goes a long way. The things we so often take for granted could be the deciding factors of whether or not someone living on the streets eats today or has shelter from the weather and clothing to stay warm; or most importantly, someone who cares and who listens; someone to reach out to when no one else provides a helping hand. We live in a world where the culmination of practically all of our technological capabilities and advancement are available in one little device—a cell phone—yet, we allow starvation, homelessness and poverty to continue as if these are issues of little importance. Life is about much more than money, class, power and control. It is not about separation; and it is not about condemning people who have never been given a chance to excel. It is about progression in Unity. This is not an opinion of mine; it is fact. The only way to ensure a desirable future for ALL of Humankind is through global societal Unity. More than ourselves, we MUST have our Posterity, all of Earth’s Posterity, at the forefront of thought when constructing the means by which we will advance ourselves into the future. So, here is to a New Year; a New Decade and a Brand New Era. Walk with me on this wondrous journey that is The Human Endeavor. The time is now to declare the true significance of our neglect of those in desperate need, and our need to take immediate action. The time is now to stand in Unity towards societal benefit for all of us. The time is, has been and always will be now. Welcome to the future.
