Dear friends, We are sending this letter to invite you to inform about the project of the Humanist Center of Cultures that we have launched in neighborhoods throughout New York City and Cities world wide to respond to the growing difficulties and concerns among the diversity of people and our cultures.
We believe that while diversity is the best aspect of the present moment, there are many conflicts that are not responded to and conditions are getting worse for all of us. And we feel that the answer will not come from those at the top but starts with us, the people in overcoming individualism and creating a model of team work and projects to help our communities. The change will not come from people above, but from within ourselves, as we foment growing communication among people of all cultures and connect with our cultural roots, we will find the answers to construct a future free of confrontation and strength in understanding and true coherence. Concretely this happens in projects of communication, launching neighborhood newspapers, conferences and seminars in the universities, workshops, promoting active non violence, non discrimination, human rights, health, education, and quality of life for all peoples. The most important is that people can participate directly and have a voice and learn and grow with eachother to resolve our difficulties at the root, bettering conditions for all people rather than a select few. While the leaders want uniformity and conformity, we want to show that people of all cultures working together and learning from eachother and supporting human values for everyone is the model of the future for the world. If you want to learn, if you are interesting in more information about our ongoing projects and how you can be a part of this new direction, contact us at this e-mail address. Thank you very much for your attention. María González Galeano [EMAIL PROTECTED]
