we aren’t here to fear the future. we’ve come to shape it.

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

as designers, citizens, lovers, people, we are here to do things. to shape this world. by our own hands, to create a more fair and just society.

our current reality is a complex, confrontational one. there are sides, divisions, and walls. we are looking at a world driven mad by a wall street investor mentality, mired in consumerism, hiding behind militarism, losing our way by hyper-individualism, and saying to ourselves, ENOUGH!

as people, we need communities that look good and feel right.

as lovers, we need those communities to welcome everyone.

as citizens, we need a universal declaration for those communities.

as designers, we need to show what those communities will look like, and inspire their creation.

at the expense of private ruthlessness we are advocating for the public good. it is well past time to pick sides, to remove divisions, and to take down walls.

it will be for workers, for the environment. now, it is for health care. our time for communities that look good and feel right is coming. we will go beyond our fear of the future, and we will shape it. -jk-
