Now is the Time!
Revolutionizing Our Economy, Politics & Relationships with Nature & Each Other

To read a .pdf of this issue online, click here. Declaring “the issue is not issues, the issue is the system,” Ronnie Dugger, Alliance for Democracy's founder, put AfD on the forefront of promoting systemic change to solve the most perplexing problems of our economic and political systems as well as our relationship with nature. The rise of the Black Lives Matter movement means it is essential that we imbue our relationships with each other with respect and honor. The existing system of white supremacy comes out of 400 years of global conquest and enslavement of people of color. We must replace it with a political system not powered by corporate money barons, but rather by engaged citizens developing public policies for our common good. Those policies must reject the commodification of Nature; evoke gratitude and humility regarding our place within the universe; and recognize the wisdom and leadership of Indigenous Peoples for their respect for Mother Earth. Election protection, public banking, campaign finance reform, solidarity economics, and public banking are just some of the issue areas and policies discussed in this issue.
