What a great idea, I fully agree! Let's take it a step farther. Why not
establishing a loose affiliation/association of those of us who "sign on" to
the declaration and find ways to work consistently toward that vision every
day in each of our own practices and situations. This could be a non-profit,
education and research organization that would bring together the various
players in organizations for dialogue and actual real time planning and
change. Now, wouldn't that be powerful?!
