Online & Worldwide – September 12, 2003 – The Declaration of Interdependence, centerpiece of today’s celebrations, is gaining momentum as citizens around the world add their names. The document calls for “security through cooperation” and emphasizes that freedom, justice, and prosperity can only be secured through shared responsibility.
Signatories range from grassroots activists to prominent academics and civic leaders. “This is more than a statement of ideals,” said CivWorld coordinator Janet Green. “It’s a commitment to building real institutions and practices of interdependence.”
Online platforms have allowed thousands to sign virtually, making the declaration one of the first global civic petitions of the digital age. Organizers hope the signatures will serve as a living testament to the growing demand for cooperative solutions in a time of global uncertainty.
