MANIFESTO OF THE POOR PEOPLE'S UNION 31 MARCH 2007 Re-printed with postscript by James Staples, and post-postscript by Toren Wilder-Valimir Classism is a reality; it is not an idea or theory. It is a day-to-day reality where some suffer so others can profit. This system is not permanent. It can be undone, but for this to happen, class itself must be undone. We believe in a world where rights are not given or taken away, but simply exist due to the fact that we are human beings. We believe in a world where the right to live free of fear goes unquestioned, where we can be certain of all parts of this world; where all parts of the environment, all species of animal and all human beings have the space to coexist. That world will never come if things are allowed to continue as they are. We are here to organize, for we are part of the social organism. If one part is sick, then the whole suffers. We will obtain our rights, not by having them handed down from some kind of superior, but by creating them in the here-and-now. This is our mission and it is guided by these points: 1) We deserve Freedom: Freedom from fear, hunger, cold, helplessness and the sickness that comes from living in a place where there are those who suffer. 2) We Deserve Opportunity: The opportunity to work, to participate, to prosper and to create, control and guide our own destiny. 3) We deserve Shelter: To be out of the elements and to have the privacy so necessary for personal and spiritual growth. 4) We deserve Safety: From the police, from those who hate and fear poverty, from sexual violence and from any form of bigotry, whether based on class, race, gender, sexual orientation, age, or any other label.
