We join our voices and our creativity to care for the future together, as one raises a child. We want a future where everyone is heard, respected, and recognized. Where all people, cultures, knowledges, and histories are valued as the true wealth of our country.

In this future, the nature that inhabits us — present in every living being, even those most invisible to someone in the city, such as corals and water — finds its place, in a harmonious coexistence among all the species that sustain the planet, that make air be air and sea be sea.

We imagine a future where the Earth that feeds us is also the source of new possibilities, spaces of coexistence, and perspectives, connecting rural and urban communities in a cycle of learning, exchange, and support. The Earth is not a resource to be exploited, but a good that must be cared for and respected, with public policies that promote the right to healthy food and support for family farmers and for young people in the countryside and the peripheries.

Our future is a future of human emancipation, where agrarian reform is not only a demand of the countryside, but of the whole of society. Where the rights to land and dignified housing are guaranteed as a starting point for an egalitarian society, free of subjugation and inequalities.

We dream of new social relations, from the triad of people, food, and nature. A society that, besides guaranteeing access to food, also has food knowledge and food culture, recovering ancestral knowledges and the connection with true food. We want people to know how to cultivate, prepare, and value native food as a right of all. A future where true success is eradicating hunger, not accumulating profit at the cost of others’ losses. In this future, we stop valuing scarcity and start valuing abundance.

Our vision is of a future with more time, leisure, affection, gestures, and embraces that nourish us. Where everyone has dignified spaces to live, rest, learn, think, create, and express themselves. A future with communities growing, expanding, with more quality of life and with people smiling. We do not want a future of accumulated inequalities, accelerated affections, or ready-made solutions for sale. We want a future with creative possibilities and autonomy.

In this prosperous future, the struggle for social and environmental justice will be seen as a spiral of constant learning, growth, and collaboration. Representation will be broad, without divisions, where people will not only have their rights realized, but will also have voice, shared resources, and distributed power in the decisions that affect their lives.

Technology, in the future we desire, will not be a tool of exclusion, but of justice and connection, used to build bridges and offer new perspectives of equality and freedom. In this future we do not want the revolution of machines and flying cars, but living nature and a healthy house for humanity to inhabit.

In our future, the past will be respected and recognized, with the strength and power of our ancestors guiding us. The wisdom they preserved, the care for the Earth, and the knowledges cultivated across generations are the foundations of our movement. We know we share the same blood and therefore the same strength to transform the reality around us. May we never forget our connection with the roots, for they are what sustain and guide us.

This is our future: a just and collective future, based on co-responsibility, on the connection between countryside and city, and on collective liberation.
