Blessed Unrest

0:00:08.400,0:00:12.480
How the Largest Movement in the World Came into Being,

0:00:12.480,0:00:17.080
and Why no One Saw It Coming

0:00:17.080,0:00:20.960
It is my believe that we are part of a movement

0:00:20.960,0:00:23.400
that is greater and deeper and broader

0:00:23.400,0:00:27.200
than we ourselves know, or can know

0:00:27.200,0:00:30.560
It flies under the radar of the media by and large

0:00:30.560,0:00:32.292
It is nonviolent, it is grassroots

0:00:32.292,0:00:36.265
It has no cluster bombs, no armies, no helicopters

0:00:36.265,0:00:39.120
It has no central ideology

0:00:39.120,0:00:43.600
A male vertebrate is not in charge

0:00:43.600,0:00:46.270
This unnamed movement... you can clap for that... the unnamed movement....

0:00:46.270,0:00:50.960
(audience laughs and claps)

0:00:52.480,0:00:55.240
...is the most diverse movement the world has ever seen

0:00:55.240,0:00:59.294
The very word movement I think is too small to describe it

0:00:59.294,0:01:04.426
No one started this world view. No one is in charge of it

0:01:04.426,0:01:11.280
There is no orthodoxy, It is global, classless, unquenchable and tireless

0:01:11.280,0:01:14.280
This shared understanding is arising spontaneously

0:01:14.280,0:01:18.800
from different economic sectors, cultures, regions and cohorts

0:01:18.800,0:01:23.760
It is growing and spreading worldwide with no exception

0:01:23.760,0:01:25.440
It has many roots

0:01:25.440,0:01:31.080
but primarily the origins are indigenous culture, the environment and social justice movements

0:01:31.080,0:01:34.200
Those three sectors and their sub-sectors

0:01:34.200,0:01:37.960
are intertwining, morphing, enlarging

0:01:37.960,0:01:40.080
This is no longer or simply about

0:01:40.080,0:01:42.880
resources, or infractions or injustice

0:01:42.880,0:01:46.000
This is fundamentally a civil rights movement

0:01:46.000,0:01:47.600
a human rights movement

0:01:47.600,0:01:49.360
this is a democracy movement

0:01:49.360,0:01:56.600
it is the coming world

0:01:56.600,0:01:58.520
What you're seeing here

0:01:58.520,0:01:59.920
is the beginning of a list

0:01:59.920,0:02:04.760
of the 130,000 minimum... organizations in the world

0:02:04.760,0:02:09.120
who work towards social and environmental justice

0:02:09.120,0:02:10.440
and that's the minimum.

0:02:10.440,0:02:15.040
It may be 250,000 groups, it may be 500,000 groups

0:02:15.040,0:02:19.600
Read these names. They're unfamiliar to you most of them. I'm sure

0:02:19.600,0:02:31.440
We do not know how big this movement is

0:02:31.440,0:02:34.680
It's marked by kinship and community and symbiosis

0:02:34.680,0:02:38.040
It is pachamama. It's mama

0:02:38.040,0:02:41.200
It's the earth talking back, waking up

0:02:41.200,0:02:44.840
What you see is your kin on that screen

0:02:44.840,0:02:47.880
and to give you a sense of how big this movement is

0:02:47.880,0:02:52.880
if I had started this tape on Friday morning at 9am when this conference began

0:02:52.880,0:02:59.240
and if we sat here all day Friday, all night Friday, all day Saturday, all night Saturday

0:02:59.240,0:03:03.360
all day Sunday, all night tonight and all day Monday

0:03:03.360,0:03:24.800
we still would not have seen the names of all the groups in the world..... who we are

0:03:24.800,0:03:27.600
It's so new, we can't recognise it

0:03:27.600,0:03:31.920
We're familiar with armies and governments and war and churches and religions

0:03:31.920,0:03:35.920
but this is...there's no precedent for what we're doing

0:03:35.920,0:03:39.040
What you're creating is completely unknown

0:03:39.040,0:03:40.680
it is everywhere

0:03:40.680,0:03:41.920
there is no centre

0:03:41.920,0:03:43.360
there's no one spokesperson

0:03:43.360,0:03:46.600
it's in every country and city on earth

0:03:46.600,0:03:52.800
it is within every tribe, every race, every culture and every ethnic group in the world

0:03:52.800,0:04:00.360
This is the first time on earth that a powerful non-ideological movement has arisen

0:04:00.360,0:04:02.520
During the span of the 20th century

0:04:02.520,0:04:05.960
big ideologies were worshipped like religion

0:04:05.960,0:04:08.080
they dominated our beliefs

0:04:08.080,0:04:14.280
This is to speed it up so you don't have to stay here until Monday night

0:04:14.280,0:04:18.920
Big ideologies dominated... capitalism, socialism, communism

0:04:18.920,0:04:24.800
In the words of Ed Hunt, "ideologies stalked the earth clad in armour"

0:04:24.800,0:04:29.680
they fought for the control of our minds and the lands and it wasn't pretty

0:04:29.680,0:04:35.440
and we were told that salvation would be found in the domination of a single system

0:04:35.440,0:04:38.120
This is where salvation will be found

0:04:38.120,0:04:41.000
We know that as biologists, we know that as community organizers

0:04:41.000,0:04:43.520
We know that as ecologists

0:04:43.520,0:04:46.600
It's found in diversity

0:04:46.600,0:04:52.080
This movement is humanity's immune response to resist and heal...

0:04:52.080,0:04:58.760
...political disease, economic infection and ecological corruption caused by ideologies

0:04:58.760,0:05:02.360
So it is up to us to decide... how will we be?

0:05:02.360,0:05:03.760
Who will we be?...

0:05:03.760,0:05:05.840
This is what it is we're building

0:05:05.840,0:05:09.640
...the capacity to respond

0:05:09.640,0:05:14.280
It is about possibilities and solutions

0:05:14.280,0:05:21.360
Human kind knows what to do

0:05:23.680,0:05:26.000
(audience applause)
