Who we are
Atlas is the global equitist movement.
🌏 Global, because the founding belief of Atlas is that our future is global and cannot be tackled by working alone, and hence we must unite to seize opportunities and tackle challenges.
⚡️ Equitist, because Atlas is committed to working for a world that is equitable, where people are treated fairly, where individual, collective, and future well-being are society’s priorities.
🎯 Political, because Atlas strives to impact change at the grassroots level, from outside and inside the halls of power.
What we stand for
The movement identifies Equitism as the way forward. Equitism is the political, social, and economic doctrine promoting the idea that to maximize peoples’ well-being, society must ensure equitable rights and opportunities for all.
Altas is anchored and driven by the defense and promotion of the following five cardinal values:
🗳️ Democracy,
🌈 Human Rights & Freedoms (including LGBTQ+ rights, abortion rights etc),
⚙️ Free, Fair & Sustainable Economy,
🤝 Solidarity, and
🌱 Ecologism.
What we do
To make our vision possible, we are becoming a laboratory for change, to experiment and push for more equity through:
Activism ✊| Atlas is enabling people to use our platform to launch more easily, faster and in a decentralized manner advocacy campaigns.
Elections 🏃🏾♀️| Atlas is building up a global political force for people to champion our vision in electoral races across the planet.
Incubator 💡 | Atlas is continuing to work on an incubator to accelerate ‘proofs of concepts’ projects: the enablers needed to create an equitist society. Our first? A digital state!
Why are we needed
1️⃣ Because the way the world works is not fair, it’s not right, and benefits the few. It's high time to maximize peoples’ well-being, 🦁 by ensuring equitable rights and opportunities for all.
2️⃣ Because the future is global: climate change, pandemics, authoritarianism, space exploration 🛰️, artificial intelligence - no way our countries can deal with this alone, nor should they if we are honest. We need to unite fast.
3️⃣ Because this is the right time: after a storm, sunshine breaks through 🌤️. Let’s challenge the status quo on the streets and in the halls of power, everywhere.
