Zaka ziwiri zapitazi ndi zaka theka za mliri, njala, zipolowe zaufuko, kugwa kwachuma, ndipo tsopano nkhondo ina ndi yokwanira kupangitsa munthu kumva kuti apocalypse ikuchitika. Chifukwa cha kudalirana kwa mayiko komanso luso lazopangapanga la digito, nkhani zongobwera kumene zamavuto adziko lapansi zili pafupi nafe nthawi iliyonse. Kukula kwa zovuta zomwe tikukumana nazo monga zamoyo komanso ngati pulaneti zitha kukhala zopuwala. Ndipo, kumbuyo kwa zonsezi, tikukumana ndi kugwa kwa nyengo, ndi kusefukira kwa madzi, moto, ndi mikuntho yoopsa kwambiri. Ndinadabwa kwambiri m’chilimwe chathachi ndi utsi womwe unakuta famu yathu ku New York, chifukwa cha moto waku California mbali ina ya kontinenti.
Zakachikwi ngati ine komanso Gen Z yomwe ikukwera ili ndi kulemera kwa dziko pamapewa athu. The American Dream yatsala pang'ono kutha.
Zomangamanga zathu zikugwa, ndipo mamiliyoni ambiri aku America akukhala muumphawi ndipo alibe chakudya, komabe ngati titapatutsidwa. 3% ya ndalama zankhondo zaku US tikhoza kuthetsa njala padziko lapansi. Pakadali pano, Wall Street imalimbikitsa kukula komwe sikungakhale kokhazikika ndi zomwe tili nazo padziko lapansi. Chifukwa cha kukula kwa mafakitale, anthu ambiri padziko lapansi akukwera m'matauni, kutaya kugwirizana ndi nthaka ndi njira zopangira, zomwe zimatipangitsa kudalira zinthu zogulidwa kuchokera kunja zomwe nthawi zambiri zimakhala ndi mpweya wambiri wa carbon ndi cholowa chodyera.
Zakachikwi ngati ine komanso Gen Z yomwe ikukwera ili ndi kulemera kwa dziko pamapewa athu. The American Dream yatsala pang'ono kutha. Ambiri aku America malipiro amoyo-to-paycheckndipo chiyembekezo cha moyo chatsika, kuyambira kale mliri usanachitike. Anzanga ambiri amavomereza kuti sangakwanitse kugula nyumba kapena kulera ana, komanso sangafune kubweretsa ana m'tsogolomu. Ndichizindikiro chachisoni cha zinthu zomwe nkhani zotseguka za apocalypse ndizokhazikika, komanso kukula "kudzisamalira" makampani wathandizira kupsinjika kwathu.
Ambiri aife tatopa ndi zaka zambiri zotsutsa dongosolo lolakwikali, pomwe zinthu zokhotakhota za dziko zimayika patsogolo $ 1+ thililiyoni pachaka mu bajeti ya asilikali, pamene achinyamata flounder mu ngongole ophunzira ndi Ambiri aku America sangakwanitse ndalama zokwana $1,000 zadzidzidzi.
Panthawi imodzimodziyo, ambiri a ife timalakalaka chinachake. Tili ndi chikhumbo champhamvu chothandizira kusintha kwabwino m'njira yowoneka bwino, kaya izi zikuwoneka ngati kudzipereka kumalo osungira nyama kapena kupereka chakudya kukhitchini ya supu. Zaka makumi angapo zakudikirira pamakona kapena kuguba ku Washington komwe kumagwera m'makutu ogontha kumadzetsa kutopa kwachiwonetsero. Mafilimu a Action adalimbikitsa mndandanda wowonera makanema omwe amawonera tsogolo losinthika, lotchedwa "Letsani Apocalypse: Nawa Zolemba 30 Zothandizira Kutsegula Mapeto Abwino,” ikufotokoza momveka bwino kufunika kosiyana kumeneku kuti tisiye kuvutika maganizo.
Pamene tikukana zoipazo, kodi tingatani panthawi imodzi “kubadwanso,” kumanga dziko lamtendere, lobiriwira, ndi lachilungamo lomwe limatipatsa chiyembekezo komanso kutipatsa thanzi? Nkhani yake ndi yoti ambiri aife tatsekeredwa m'zinthu zomwe timatsutsa, kulimbikitsa dongosolo lomwe sitilikonda.
Kuti tikhale ndi mphamvu zosintha dziko lapansi, tifunika kudzimasula nthawi imodzi ndikuchepetsa kudalira kwathu makampani amitundu yosiyanasiyana omwe akupititsa patsogolo chipwirikiti cha nyengo ndi imperialism padziko lonse lapansi. Izi zimafuna njira ziwiri zopangira kusintha zomwe zimaphatikiza 1) zomwe timaganiza kuti ndizolimbikitsa, kapena kulimbikitsa ndondomeko za kusintha kwadongosolo, ndi 2) kukhazikitsa machitidwe owoneka pamtundu wa munthu payekha komanso anthu omwe amapititsa patsogolo chikhalidwe cha anthu, chilengedwe, ndi kusinthika kwachuma.
Prong # 1 imakhudzanso njira monga kupempha, kukakamiza, kusonkhana, komanso kuchitapo kanthu mopanda chiwawa kuti akhazikitse zisankho zazikulu kwa omwe amapanga zisankho kuchokera kwa purezidenti wamayunivesite, oyang'anira ndalama, ndi ma CEO amakampani, ku makhonsolo amizinda, abwanamkubwa, ma Congress, ndi apurezidenti. Prong #2, njira yakeyake yomenyera ufulu, ikufuna kukhazikitsa kusintha kwenikweni pano komanso tsopano m'njira zenizeni monga anthu ndi madera, ndi cholinga chochepetsa kudalira chuma cha Wall Street ndikuchotsa mphamvu kumabungwe amitundu yonse omwe amathandizira. Extractivism ndi kugwiritsa ntchito anthu padziko lonse lapansi. Chipinda chachiwiri chimapanga mawonekedwe m'njira zambiri, kuchokera kumunda wa kuseri kwa nyumba kapena m'midzi ya veggie ndi kufunafuna zomera zakutchire zopatsa thanzi, kupita ku dzuwa, kugula kapena kugulitsa m'deralo, kugula zinthu, kudya nyama yochepa, kuyendetsa galimoto, kuchepetsa zipangizo zanu, mndandanda umapitirira. Chimodzi mwa izi chitha kuphatikizira kupanga mapu zonse zomwe mumadya kuchokera ku chakudya kupita ku zovala, zodzoladzola kupita ku zida zomangira za nyumba yanu - ndi momwe mungachotsere, kuzipanga nokha, kapena kuzipeza mokhazikika komanso mwachilungamo.
Ngakhale kuti prong #1 ikufuna kusintha kwadongosolo kuti tipititse patsogolo dongosolo lomwe tikukhalamo, prong #2 imapereka chakudya chomwe timafunikira kuti tipitirizebe kuyenda bwino, kutipangitsa kuti tisinthe zowoneka bwino komanso kulimbikitsa luso lathu kuti tiganizirenso njira ina yofananira.
Njira ya mbali ziwiri iyi, kusakanikirana kwa kukana ndi kusinthika, kukuwonetseratu maganizo a ndale zophiphiritsira. Kufotokozedwa ndi chiphunzitso cha ndale Adrian Kreutz, njira imeneyi ikufuna “kubweretsa dziko lapansili mwa kudzala mbewu za anthu a m’tsogolo m’nthaka ya masiku ano. ...makhalidwe a anthu omwe akhazikitsidwa pano ndi pano, m'malo ang'onoang'ono a mabungwe athu, mabungwe ndi miyambo zikuwonetsa momwe titha kuyembekezera mtsogolo mwachisinthiko."
Chitsanzo chofanana ndi resilience-based organising (RBO), buku la Movement Generation linafotokoza kuti: “M’malo mopempha wogwila nchito kapena wogwila nchito m’boma kuti acitepo kanthu, timagwiritsa ntchito khama lathu kuchita chilichonse chimene tingathe kuti tipulumuke ndiponso kuti zinthu zitiyendere bwino monga anthu ndiponso dziko lapansi, podziwa kuti zochita zathu zikutsutsana ndi zimene timachita. mabungwe azamalamulo ndi andale okhazikitsidwa kuti akwaniritse zofuna za anthu amphamvu. Izi zimasiyanitsidwa ndi dongosolo lakale lokhazikitsidwa ndi kampeni (prong #1 pamwambapa) yomwe imayika chikakamizo kwa opanga zisankho kuti akhazikitse malamulo, malamulo, ndi kusintha kwa mfundo kuti athetse vuto. Mabungwe okhazikika pakulimba mtima amayika mabungwe mwachindunji m'manja mwathu kuti akwaniritse zosowa zathu zonse. Njira ziwirizi ndizofunika kotheratu.
Zitsanzo zolimbikitsa zimakhala zambiri za kusakanikirana kopanga uku kwa kukana ndi kusinthika, kuphatikizidwa m'njira yomwe zonsezi zimatsutsana ndi zomwe zilipo kale pamene zikupanga machitidwe atsopano okhudzana ndi kusagwirizana ndi chilengedwe.
Oteteza zachilengedwe ku Canada, a Tiny House Warriors, akumanga nyumba zing'onozing'ono zogwiritsa ntchito magetsi oyendera dzuwa m'njira ya mapaipi. Pulojekitiyi ikuyang'ana kufunikira kokhala ndi nyumba za mabanja amtundu wawo, pomwe ikugwira ntchito yoletsa ndondomeko zamakampani ndi zaboma.
Kampeni ya ku Japan Yoletsa Mabomba Okwiriridwa pansi ikumanga zimbudzi zopangira manyowa kwa anthu omwe apulumuka mabomba okwirira, omwe ambiri mwa iwo, monga odulidwa ziwalo, amavutika kugwiritsa ntchito zimbudzi zachikhalidwe cha ku Cambodia. Kampeniyi imapangitsa kuti anthu adziwe zambiri za omwe akuzunzidwa ndi nkhondo komanso kufunikira kokhazikitsa mgwirizano wamayiko oletsa zida zankhondo kuti aletse mabomba okwirira, pomwe akugwira ntchito yofunika, yofunikira komanso, monga bonasi, kupanga kompositi yogwiritsidwa ntchito ndi alimi akumaloko.
Ntchito zoyang'anira chakudya, zokonzedwa ndi Nkhondo ya Nkhondo ku Central African Republic ndi Democratic Republic of the Congo komwe kuli nkhondo, amapereka chithandizo cha chikhalidwe ndi chithandizo chaulimi kwa anthu omwe akukhudzidwa ndi ziwawa, pamene amaphunzitsa anthu maluso ofunikira kuti azilima chakudya chawo komanso kuti azikhala ndi moyo wokhazikika.
Inenso ndikuyesetsa kukhala ndi njira ziwiri izi monga Mtsogoleri Wotsogolera wa World BEYOND War, gulu lopanda chiwawa padziko lonse lapansi lothetsa nkhondo, ndi Purezidenti wa Board at Unadilla Community Farm, malo ophunzirira pafamu osagwiritsa ntchito gridi komanso osapindulitsa permaculture ku Upstate New York.

Pamene tikugwira ntchito yathu yomanga luso kwa omwe akufuna kukhala alimi achichepere, timazindikiranso zolepheretsa, monga kupeza malo ndi ngongole za ophunzira, ndipo timapanga mgwirizano wadziko kuti tilimbikitse kusintha kwa malamulo kuti tichepetse zovutazi. Ndikuwona ulimi wanga ndi zotsutsana ndi nkhondo zomwe zimagwirizana kwambiri kuti ziwonetsere zomwe zachitika pazochitika zankhondo pa chilengedwe ndikulimbikitsa ndondomeko monga kuchotseratu zida ndi kuchotsa zida, pamene, panthawi imodzimodziyo, kuphunzitsa konkire, luso lokhazikika lochepetsera mpweya wathu ndikuchepetsa mphamvu zathu. kudalira mabungwe amitundu yambiri komanso gulu lankhondo ndi mafakitale palokha.
Kubwera, World BEYOND War's #NoWar2022 Resistance & Regeneration Virtual Conference pa Julayi 8-10 adzaunikira nkhani ngati izi, za kusintha—zazikulu ndi zazing’ono—padziko lonse lapansi, zomwe zimatsutsa zomwe zimayambitsa nkhondo, katangale wakatangale, ndi tsoka lanyengo, pomwe, nthawi yomweyo, kupanga njira ina yozikidwa pa mtendere ndi wokhazikika.
