Refugee Aid: A Vision of Internnational Solidarity

 

Editor's Note: Tikkun and our interfaith and secular-humanist-welcoming Network of Spiritual Progressives supports the work of Tamera and the Institute for Global Peace Work.--Rabbi MIchael Lerner Refugee Aid: A Vision of International Solidarity Statement following reports from our co-workers in Lesbos   by Dieter Duhm

Currently there is much debate about integrating the refugees into contemporary culture. Is that really the only solution? Could they not, in either their home countries or in their destinations, establish another culture, that would allow them to become independent from the forces and markets of global capitalism? Could they create a new kind of autonomous culture that would orient itself towards the laws of life rather than those of profit? Among the refugees are strong spirits that could manifest this immediately. Give refugees land and help them to establish their own self-sufficient communities! They will need relatively little for the Earth produces everything we need if we treat her properly. Self-sufficiency in food can be achieved once water and energy autonomy have been established. There are well-tried methods to secure both – methods of water retention, biogas production, the use of solar energy and so on. In this way new models could arise quickly: models which all of humanity will have to adopt if it is to survive. These would be models for a new Earth, for Terra Nova. We are facing an enormous system change.

Canada seems to be leading the way in many fields.Blessings,

this is so common sensical as to be a virtuus circle

alas the reactionary forces of the UK(british/brutish) state try to vilify all sanctuary seekers although grass roots organisations/faith communities and others work to assist both "legally recognised" and destitute sanctuary families.

Thank you Bret,

The US is bogged down too. I am so glad that Canada is showing the way. The world needs this example.
