In 1776 the US Declaration of Independence embodied a leap forward for democracy and freedom. It sparked a global movement that led to today's representative democracies, which have brought freedom to billions.
Our world has radically changed in the nearly 250 years since 1776. Our global civilization's current laws and institutions are proving inadequate in the face of a growing planetary-wide existential mega-crisis of our own making. Today's challenges are overtaxing antiquated pre-internet governing systems, which were created to address the needs of prior eras, not ours.
For us to solve the great problems of our day, we must come together as one people-as the People of Earth.
LEAP: The Case for the Country of Earth is a citizen's manual for effecting revolutionary change on a global scale.
For the love of our children and everything we hold dear, it is time for democracy and freedom to leap forward, yet again.
This time, for everyone.
