WHAT IS THE POLITICAL RISE?
Politics is the process of expressing human principles and values at the societal level through governmental stewardship.
The dichotomy and spectrum between the political right and the political left
do not represent the full range of human principles and values.
The political rise is a new domain of political thought and organizing that encompasses a defining set of principles and values that represent a novel synthesis, integration, and ultimately transcendence of the values represented by both the left and the right.
Emerging from the increasingly apparent failures and inadequacies of the left vs right system, the political rise provides a domain of politics that meaningfully speaks to those who haven’t felt at home anywhere on the left/right spectrum, have been forced to compromise their values to participate, and those who have disengaged from politics completely due to lack of alignment with existing options.
The Political Rise is now here for the rising generations of leaders who have worked tirelessly to reform the existing political systems to no avail, and the powerful societal leaders who have this far opted out of politics.
Welcome to the political rise. We are fiercely devoted to stewarding society in a way in which all people, all communities, and all societies are healthy, whole, and thriving. We do not engage in the win/lose paradigm of the left and right, although we care tremendously about the authentic needs, interests, desires, fears and perspectives of both the right and the left. We organize and work to provide leadership to humanity through government stewardship with a culture of inquiry, dedication to quality of life for all, and all-win paradigm.
Equipped with a unifying set of principles, voters, candidates, policy researchers and advocates, political funders, organizers, organizations and media channels with values outside of the left and right can now find each other in the political rise to integrate, collaborate, unify and rise together as we create a thriving world for all.
