It will dedicate itself to the active expansion of democracy, and participatory self-governance as a means of enhancing the dignity, peace, equality and freedom of all people. This boby of navigators will use critical reflection, principled action, and education to counter passive acceptance of control, compliance and the politics of mere consent.
