The Earth Charter is both a document and a global movement. The Charter calls on people, communities and nations to apply principles that ensure care for the community of life, ecological integrity, social and economic justice, democracy, non-violence, and peace. The Charter is called a “Declaration of Inter-Dependence.” Earth Charter initiatives are active around the globe with over 30 Earth Charter communities in the US. For more information visit www.earthcharterus.org and www.earthcharter.org.

The first Earth Charter Momentum Conference is devoted to skills and plans to support your vision for “sustainable” community.

Sustainability is the creation of systems of sustainable activities that work for all people economically, socially, and environmentally. We already have the information and technology to create sustainability and to transform our ways of life to be gentler on the earth and to each other.

The Momentum Conference is for people of all ages and experience who share an affinity for the Earth Charter by virtue of their work for environmental protection, non-violence, economic and social justice, and government that is accessible and participatory.

Speakers include:
Jan Roberts, Founder and President, Earth Charter US
Mirian Vilela, Executive Director Earth Charter International
Victor Phiri, National Coordinator, Workers Education Association of Zambia
David Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World, The Great Turning & Agenda for a New Economy: From Phantom Wealth to Real Wealth
