Foundation “Audacity in the name of Humanity”
Why are you invited?
As human being inhabitant of the Earth you are invited to act against
the commodification and privatization of any life form.
All human beings do not have to beg for the recognition of their
rights and dignity to the actual world rulers such as market and
multinational companies.
The legitimate source of power belongs to human beings, peoples
and humanity.
In the real democracy, power is spread everywhere and shared by
anybody. In the real society of the rights and justice, every human
being can inhabit any place of the world. There are no clandestines
on earth, nor second or third class inhabitants.
L’Humanity needs to organize itself in order to exist as primary actor
of self-regulation in the common living on a global scale and take on
the responsibility for the lives of and on the Earth. We invite you to
share the experiences of the wounded humanity and the new
growing one relying on the solid utopian belief that it is possible to
think of and give birth to a happier and just future for humanity, any
man and woman and all living creatures.
The agora of the inhabitants of the Earth
13-16 December Figueres, Catalogna, Spain
Foundation “Audacity in the name of Humanity”
The citizens and peoples of the Earth no longer participate in the
decisions concerning the future of life and humanity. The little democracy
attained until the 80s is only a memory. The future of the world is left to
the arbitrariness and domination of an ever-shrinking circle of powerful
social groups and private bearers fighting for their interests and
enrichment (“America First”, “Britain First”, “China First,” “Italy First”). The
rights of the people and their communities are denied and humanity is
crumbling to pieces
In this year 2018 we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights.
– The inhabitants of the Earth have to reclaim the strength of life,
freedom and justice they have conquered through the rights so far.
– They have to equip themselves with the institutions and the means
to rule their common future on a pluralistic, cooperative and
participative basis starting from the “local” communities.
Security of existence and living well together are a collective and global
affair.
For this purpose, a group of Europeans recently joined by other people
coming from Europe and other countries like Latin America, North
America, Africa and Asia, have launched the Action Program “Audacity in
the name of humanity” in December 2017. Its objective is to raise
awareness and mobilize citizens on the necessity and urgency to
recognize humanity as a key player in the political, economic and social
regulation worldwide. Only humanity, as such, can speak and act
effectively to change the world in the interest and safeguard of the life on
earth and all its inhabitants (including all living species).
In this context, the first action started is the Agora of the Inhabitants
of the Earth (AHT).
Foundation “Audacity in the name of Humanity”
The Agora of the Inhabitants of the Earth. Purpose
It is part of a long journey for the inhabitants of the Earth to create new
stories for the present and the future. Steps in this direction are numerous
and diverse around the world, proving the great variety of the individual
and collective creativity. Our step is part of the paths of uprising,
resistance and building alternatives to the dominant trends. We do not
think that the priority is to address the actual world rulers asking them to
be less predatory, less warlike, less exclusionary and more “human”. Our
bet is audacity.
We have in mind three audacities above all:
- To ban war once and for all
2.To declare illegal the structural factors generating impoverishment
and exclusion in the world
3.To eradicate the current predatory and speculative financial system
The Agora of the Inhabitants of the Earth: two major aims
– The first one: to contribute to the building process of humanity by
examining and developing new horizons to change the future and, to this
end, to approve a basic orientation document called “Chart of Humanity.
Towards A Pact of Humanity”. The Chart will recall the great values
Foundation “Audacity in the name of Humanity”
declared and lived by humankind to this day and will express the visions
and concrete utopias of the inhabitants of the Earth aiming to make them
true. In particular, it will seek to mark one of the most decisive tracks to
follow, namely the formation from below of a Security Council of the
World Public Commons. At a time when a “common good” can become
private, it is fundamental that public goods and public interests are
safeguarded for life;
– The second one: to launch the initiative “Inhabitant of the Earth – World
Identity Card” promoted by a network of Municipalities (or Local
Communities) of the various continents that will deliver to their inhabitants
a World Identity Card as “Inhabitant of the Earth”. This Card will have no
formal legal value and cannot be considered a new form of passport. The
Card will have a symbolic, human and social value. Through this Card,
Municipalities will recognize that all human beings, rooted in their
innumerable places (oikos) on earth, are Inhabitants of the City-Earth and
hence members of the same “human community” before and beyond
being Chinese, Brazilian, Finnish, Greek, Tunisian, Kazakh, Japanese,
Senegalese, Colombian, Hungarian, American, Russian, Argentine,
English, French, Ugandan, Uzbek, Vietnamese, Australian, Romanian,
German, Malian, Indian, Iranian, Quebecois …

Practical organizational aspects
Registration is free. A symbolic voluntary contribution (e.g. 10 euro) would
be appreciated.
The place: Figueres is a charming small town in northern Catalonia,
Spain, about 20 km from the border with France. It is easily reachable by
TGV, European line Barcelona / Montpellier / Paris and by plane (airports
of Girona and Perpignan). Figueres is also well known as the city where
Salvador Dali was born and lived.
The works of the Agora will be held in the site “Chateau Sant
Ferran” (http://www.castillosanfernando.org) where we can also organize
the planned cultural and artistic activities (see program below). The
working languages will be Spanish, Catalan, French and English.
Regarding the accommodation, which is at the expense of each
participant, we are negotiating with the three most important hotels (three
to four stars) located near the Chateau Sant Ferran, a price between 41
and 55 euro for room + breakfast / per person / per night. See the price list
in Appendix 1. The faster and many will be the bookings, the more precise
will be the information. No money will come back to our organization. In
addition, each participant remains free to follow or not our suggestions.
Travel expenses are borne by each participant. We will try to create a
solidarity fund and a sponsorship fund to partially support young activists
from Africa, Latin America and Asia in cooperation with the members of
the Agora Promoters Committee, which is listed below.
