The Bonobo Manifesto

We, the kind and loving human children of planet earth, do hereby declare our existence, our value, and our difference from the Dominators and their followers.

We no longer believe the Dominator lies.

We will no longer live Dominator-determined lives.

We renounce cruelty and greed and we do not accept any justification for cruelty and greed on the part of our leaders, our churches, our nations, or our neighbors. We renounce the gods who encourage cruelty and greed or who act as ultimate justifiers for human violence.

We, the Bonobo children of earth, do hereby declare that the future belongs to the loving and the kind and no longer to bullies and criminals. We declare the right of our children’s children to survive and inherit a habitable earth. We believe it is possible for humanity to thrive on this planet for a many more thousands of years, and so we will resist apocalypse and seek a world of peace and abundance.

This is what we believe, know, value, and practice. This is who we are. Long live the Bonobo People! Love will prevail!
