WeGovern

WeGovern (we-govern.org) a foundational set of agreements to guide how we make decisions that impact all of us.

It is a bold re-imagining and reclaiming of governance, inspired by a rich history of Indigenous practices rooted in care for land, natural resources, community, and collective well-being. It is a starting place for building communities—and a world—rooted in mutual care.

Practicing what is possible

Governance practice is an extension of Resonance’s worldbuilding: a world beyond violence calls for a system of governance rooted in mutual care, that honors our interdependence, and makes it possible for all beings to thrive.

Written by leaders, healers, artists, and storytellers across the U.S., most of whom are queer, transgender, Black, Indigenous, and people of color, WeGovern launched just before the election in 2020, and has grown into a constellation of people committed to liberatory governance.

At its heart is the WeGovern Learning Community: a group of organizations, tribes, networks, and teams, who are re-imagining what governance beyond dominant power structures can look and feel like, by putting it into practice.

WeGovern Learning Community partners are connected to people and place across movement. They are embodying the practice of mutual care—across geography and issue—and contributing to a collective re-imagining of what is possible with a shared commitment to collective governance.

Five Reasons Why WeGovern

We asked, ‘what does WeGovern mean to you?’ And you responded with statements that reflect our collective aspirations for the kind of governance we know is possible.

Governance is about decisions—starting today

The guiding agreements of WeGovern affirm that governance begins with each of us, and serve as a starting place for a world where everyone can thrive.

Governance is how we choose to be together

When choosing new ways of being together, we begin with ourselves —in our bodies, hearts, spirits . Once it rests with us, the practice begins.
