Declaration of Resistance

July 4th, 2026

A Declaration of the tired, the poor, the masses who have endured in the dirt beneath civilization’s boot.

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for People to withdraw the so-called consent of the governed, and to reclaim that which nature and the creative forces of the universe provide, a decent respect for humankind compels us to declare the causes animating our Revolution.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all People are created equal. That every human being is a Person endowed by nature with inherent inalienable rights. That first among these rights are Life, Self-Determination, and Perseverance. That the surest way to secure these rights is through universal Solidarity. That whenever any power becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of humanity to resist subjugation, withdraw allegiance, and take their safety, well-being and happiness into their own hands.

All People are created equal irrespective of difference. All People are equally needful of what nature provides and survival requires. A hospitable, healthy biosphere is the right and responsibility of humankind to have and preserve through careful stewardship. All labor is equally valuable. A person’s time and health are priceless. The denomination of all human exchange—labor, care, creativity—is the person-hour. But no ledger can quantify the bonds that truly sustain us.

Liberty is the absence of chains, but Freedom is only present in Solidarity.

People are social beings who thrive through collective resilience. Liberty, though rooted in the individual, finds its freest expression in collective acts of care and Mutual Aid. But Solidarity falters when power poisons empathy. Solidarity among enforcers of oppression— police, CEOs, politicians —masks collective guilt and emboldens crimes against humanity.

Life: Mutual respect for one another’s right to life demands an ethic of non-aggression. Equally important is the right to meet force with force in defense of self, others, or the biosphere.

Self-Determination: The birthright of every person is inalienable bodily autonomy, freedom of choice in all personal decisions, and freedom of movement regardless of artificial borders. The mind, born of the body, demands sovereignty: the right to guard our thoughts or voice them freely, safe from surveillance or suppression; a right to privacy that extends to one’s home and personal data, to shield private life from corporate and state predation.

Perseverance: Not mere survival but sovereignty over body, home, and the fruits of one’s labor. To persevere is to resist the theft of time, land, and breath by those who profit from our exhaustion. Perseverance is Gaza’s fishermen rebuilding boats bombed by occupiers; it is Flint mothers demanding clean water; it is Amazon workers unionizing in the trenches; it is neighbors shielding neighbors in the face of ICE’s truncheon.

We reject rights that dehumanize—those forged in exploitation. Beyond the right to livelihood and home, one can only own what will die with them. Ideas, inventions and art are humanity’s gifts; credit is due, but there is no ethical basis for allowing copyrights or patents to shackle human potential. Likewise,we reject the fiction of private land ownership. We must collectively honor our responsibility to the land and urgently act to address the realities of climate crisis and our potential extinction. The institutions that exploit land and labor aren’t forces of nature, but fictions—concocted by CEOs and shareholders who treat lives as ledger entries. People must not be absolved legally, financially, or ethically under the auspices of any non-human entity—be it corporation, state, or algorithm.

People are equal but different. Difference demands dignity. Let empathy dissolve hierarchy, transforming power from a weapon of control into a tool of care. Power exchanges must be rooted in informed consent, not coercion. Let them be acts of care—teaching, healing, nurturing—never exploitation. Empathy, our greatest asset against oppression, dictates a simple truth: Those who lack it have no right to power. Yet what we have is pandemic kakistocracy—rule by the worst, for the worst—where cruelty wears a crown.

The history of the present order is a history of repeated injuries, abuses, usurpations, assaults on the natural rights of humanity, and degradations of human dignity. Little billionaire Princes puppet their political servants to reign as king. And the king is a tyrant! To prove this, let the facts of this king’s deeds be submitted to a candid world:

• He has waged genocidal campaigns against Indigenous Peoples, from the Trail of Tears to the ongoing erasure of Palestine.

• He has stockpiled nuclear arsenals capable of annihilating life tenfold, while children starve in Yemen and Sudan.

• He has deputized armies to cage and enslave the poor in profit-driven prisons, shackling generations to debt and disenfranchisement.

• He has unleashed militarized forces to surveil, brutalize, and murder Black, Brown, and Indigenous People under the guise of order.

• He has let Exxon poison rivers, Nestlé steal water, and Amazon exploit laborers, all while shielding CEOs behind a veil of impunity.

• He has traded breathable air and habitable land for quarterly profits, sentencing island ­nations to drown in rising seas.

• He has shackled nations to predatory debt, plundering Global South resources to feed northern excess.

• He has turned justice into a tollbooth, where wealth buys freedom and poverty warrants imprisonment.

• He has codified apartheid in zoning laws, discriminatory voter requirements, and borders that criminalize migration.

• He has crafted a usurious system of debt serfdom and redlining to gatekeep access to basic needs like knowledge and shelter.

• He has commodified care, denying medicine to the sick and shelter to the unhoused, while billionaires hoard healthcare and estates.

• He has defanged accountability, reducing penalties for corporate maleficence to a cost of doing business.

In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms. The answer has always been indignation, pervasive digital surveillance, and thirty-million-dollar Predator drones. All against a backdrop of extinction and climate collapse. A king, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

We, the People of Earth, in accordance with natural law and the authority inherent to all living beings, hereby revoke and renounce any implied or coerced consent to be governed by institutions that perpetuate exploitation, inequality, or ecological ruin. Let it be declared that no state, corporation, or oligarchy shall derive just power from our silence or submission. By this proclamation, we dissolve the social contract forged in conquest and capital, and affirm our collective duty to resist, reimagine, and rebuild systems rooted in Solidarity, stewardship, and inviolable human dignity.

This is not a plea for mercy. It’s an eviction notice: We are done renting our futures to kings and CEOs. May this declaration echo in every occupied valley, polluted slum, and prison cell:

Another world is not only possible—it is inevitable.

In Solidarity, we roar with every occupied corner of Earth: FREE PALESTINE! The Palestinians’ struggle reminds us that our liberation is bound together. Until we are all free—none are free.
