Our Principles
Why Principles Matter
Our Core Principles & Values
1. Integrity over Expediency
We present facts even when they complicate the story. We reject “magic‑wand” promises and expose both the limits and the power of the C2C Monetary System. Trust once earned becomes the advocate’s greatest asset.
2. Evidence‑Based Persuasion
Moral passion must rest on hard data. We publish transparent calculations—Washington’s 1,289 oz of gold versus today’s 120 oz—to show inflation’s theft in language anyone can verify. Our policy drafts cite peer‑reviewed research and real‑world pilots.
3. Inclusivity and Respect
Fiat’s wounds fall heaviest on the poor, women, Indigenous peoples, and racial minorities. Therefore every meeting table must include those voices; every briefing is translated into local languages; every public forum is accessible.
4. Subsidiarity: Action at the Right Scale
Problems should be solved as close to the people affected as possible. Village savings‑groups set Secondary‑Reserve rules that fit their crops; regional blocs coordinate settlement rails; global bodies codify reserve definitions. No layer displaces another.
5. Non‑Violent Engagement
We rely on dialogue, demonstration, scholarship, and lawful protest—never coercion—to move hearts and statutes. Change secured peacefully is change that endures.
6. Transparency and Accountability
Budgets, donor lists, and meeting minutes are published. Advocates declare conflicts of interest. When mistakes occur, we acknowledge and correct them in the open.
7. Persistence with Patience
Systems built over centuries seldom fall in a year. We return, and return again—like a pastoral visit—to encourage lawmakers, clarify fears, and celebrate small wins until reform becomes routine.
8. Solidarity beyond Borders
A farmer in Ghana and a pensioner in Ohio both suffer devalued currency. We refuse narratives that pit nations against one another; instead we weave coalitions that recognize shared stakes in real money.
9. Hope‑Driven Realism
We tell the truth about obstacles—vested interests, bureaucratic inertia—but we also remind audiences of history’s victories: slavery abolished, apartheid ended, debts forgiven. Hope is the fuel that keeps advocacy moving.
Living the Principles at Every Level
- Global – We publish open-source policy toolkits and live‑stream Treaty briefings so any nation, however small, can participate on equal footing.
- Regional – We embed multilingual facilitation teams that measure success by how many local voices shape the final framework.
- National – We co‑draft bills with legislators but insist that town‑hall input is stitched into every clause, line by line.
