Climate change, resource depletion, and extreme poverty are symptoms of a global illness. Our planet is sick. Our society is sick. We are reaching critical thresholds that are irreversible. Simply denying the problem won’t make it go away, nor will waiting for someone else to fix it.

But there is hope, both simple and attainable. We are the cure - as individuals, and as members of a larger community. Together, we are empowered by our unique abilities and strengthened by our collective action. We can heal our global dysfunction, but first it will require an awareness of our conditioned patterns of thinking, and a shift in our collective consciousness.

We need a re:volution in the way we view life. We need to re:create how we live with each other. We need to re:think how we live with nature. We need to re:design society. We need you to join the re:volution.

The Revolution Campaign

The Revolution Campaign was first envisioned as a human-powered bicycle journey from Alaska to Argentina to propel an international movement toward a sustainable global society. During the planning stage of this trip, it became clear that the mission of both Revision International and the Revolution Campaign would be better served by resetting the starting line. Thanks to so many of our friends, family, and people in our local community, we have raised enough money to get started; however, the ride means nothing to us or our amazing supporters if we don't accomplish some very major goals along the way.

This is a very exciting time, a chance for each and every one of you to get involved. The Mission of the Revolution Campaign is not changing: We WILL contribute to the greater understanding of how climate change, resource depletion, and extreme poverty vastly affect communities, we WILL encourage democratic participation to confront global challenges, and we WILL promote solutions toward a sustainable society. These are serious objectives that deserve immense planning! Sign up above and we'll let you know how you can help!

Philosophy

The Revolution Campaign is conducted by bicycle to minimize the impact on the environment, to promote a sustainable lifestyle, and for full exposure to local environmental, economic, and social conditions.

The Campaign only partners with companies that have a commitment to a triple-bottom-line - considering the economic, environmental, and social implications of their business, not just an emphasis on profit margins - and who pursue the most sustainable practices in the design and manufacturing of their products. To uphold the value in transparency and accountability, all financial records are made public.
