A moral society puts people first.
Not wealth.
Not power.
Not nation states.
Not archaic forms of government or law.
Not royal families or venerable castes.
People.
Ordinary people.
Us.

Imagine, after Covid19, a moral world – a world where people matter.

Imagine a world where a hungry child on the other side of the world matters just as much as the child next door. A world where that child’s sister matters too, who works in the fields or on the factory floor when she should still be at school.

Imagine a world not obsessed with power and money but people – with the happiness and fulfilment of people.

Imagine, beyond Covid19, a world where carers are more highly regarded than the careless rich, where ordinary people doing ordinary work are seen as more important than high-powered bureaucrats or business elites. Where kindness is prioritised over profit and greed.

Imagine, after Covid19, a world no longer asset-stripped by corporations and the rich, a world of new ideas and brilliant new strategies for empowering ordinary people, for nurturing the human and biological worlds…

Imagine, post Covid19, 8 billion of us, all working towards a better world…
Why shouldn’t we?
Why couldn’t we?
A world where even the poorest are looked after – given healthcare, food, education, a home – given the means to stand on their own two feet.

Why not imagine a better world?
Why is that so impossible, after all the things we’ve already achieved?

#Imagine

Imagine, after Covid19, a world built on kindness, on caring, on consideration – a world driven by cooperation, ingenuity, inspiration – a world focussed on people not things, on fulfilment, not wealth, on well-being not greed…

Is that so difficult to imagine?

Imagine, after Covid19, progressive governments elected all across the world... governments that separated themselves from the corruption of wealth, the oppression of elitist authority or power…

Imagine
- A Universal Basic Income
- Mass investment in green technology and jobs
- Housing and healthcare for all
- Wonderful education for all our children
- Well-being and fulfilment prioritised over growth, profit and greed.

Just imagine what we could do if we all pulled together…
8,000,000,000 of us.
Our numbers. Our energy. Our imagination.

We could make people the purpose of our economy, compassion the purpose of our governments. We could put the environment at the heart of everything.

Imagine a world where we pour humanity’s wealth not into tax havens but into making our villages, towns and cities better able to withstand floods, droughts, pandemics and climate change. Into making our world secure for our children, our grandchildren and their children.

13/16

Imagine, far beyond Covid19, a world where we look after one another, where there are no ‘rich’ or ‘poor’ but only ‘us’, sharing what we have, devising astounding technologies, working together to preserve our future, to protect and preserve the biological world.

#Imagine

Imagine, after Covid19, a world where we judge our leaders not by their words but by their actions…. and their actions by how they contribute to the well-being of ordinary people – and of all people everywhere, all across the Earth…

Is that so hard to imagine?

What matters most to you?
Your family being happy and safe?
Families all across the world being happy and safe?
Leading an engaged and fulfilling life?

The way things are now won’t do that for you.

We’re going to have to change.
