Conviction 2 - Organizations/Society

>> The organization of NGOs (non-governmental organizations) into a powerful formation capable of defending the interests of civil society

The What

A vast campaign to unify and synergize NGOs (non-governmental organizations) into productive relationships that collectively lobby for the installment of a humanitarian vanguard. This initiative is known as the Global Equinox Agenda and is intended to unify the most marginalized sphere of human relations, the sphere of civil society, and give it a voice in conventional politics. The public sphere (the government) and the private sphere (businesses and economy) have enjoyed a supremacy over politics and global affairs at the expense of those that, through conviction, loyalty, responsibility, and understanding, have spent their lives devoted to humanitarian endeavors and humanistic projects; what can be designated as the civil sphere But the creative and progressive faculties of innovators and social revolutionaries are held back by the greedy agendas and limiting prospects of the private sphere and undermined by the conflict-ridden relationships of governments. Civil society must form a strong political formation to counteract this marginalization and build their power and influence in global affairs.

The this initiative, however, cannot stop at the unity of civil society. It must learn to want more, to go all the way into establishing a supranational organization consistent of planetary citizens, as outlined in the first conviction, and giving birth to a world order built on the principles of human rights and collective action founded long ago, but are alas nowhere near being realized. This is the opportunity for NGOs, most of which unavoidably affirm the principles of human rights, to act as vehicles of a historic change.   

 

The Why

By virtue of its sheer size civil society, if only it would consolidate, could endeavor to change society overnight. In addition to this, civil society has been marginalized in public affairs, if it formed a political union, it can defend its interests against nationalist agendas with more competence and conviction.  

In a world driven by the attainment of gain there seldom comes along a person willing to sacrifice for the collective sanctity of the human condition. Because of this, civil society must endeavor to make its initiatives have greater importance on the political stage. Synthesis proposes it does this through a common collectivization of resources within a democratic framework so all NGOs signatory to the program have an equal voice and an equal prospect of growth. With collectivized resources, such an organization possesses enough capital to start into profitable business ventures so volunteers can be given real incentive to commit their activities toward inciting human development. The organization of civil society into one framework collectively gives it power and individually gives NGOs the political and economic support they need to expand their operations.  

The majority of NGOs have such a devotion to fundamental human development and advancement. Under the leadership of a unity of NGOs, the humanitarian cause can only prosper since  organization and unity mean strength and influence. NGOs and civil society have a responsibility to themselves and the human condition to make these changes, dispel needless conflict between themselves, and consolidate into an international solidarity movement with the courage to protect humanity and build human awareness vicariously, competently, and globally.
