We want a fair future that begins now, where life — human and more-than-human — is at the center. A future where the national and global political system does not exist to plunder the nation. A future with less individualism, whether in the form of privatization, social networks, or other expressions. We want a future where nature is our partner in home and sustenance, where forests, waters, seas, and fantastic biodiversity thrive, and where we can live off what the land gives without exhausting it. In this future, ancestral and community knowledge walks alongside science to guide choices that regenerate, and art becomes daily nourishment, opening paths of sensitivity, critique, and imagination. It is a future in which every child is born and grows up with protection, affection, and the freedom to play; where early childhood organizes policies and priorities. Women — in both the fields and cities — have their work recognized, their income secured, and their places in decision-making. Indigenous peoples, diverse cultures, and multiple spiritualities are respected and celebrated as living sources of wisdom. Black protagonism is real and not decorative; diversity ceases to be aesthetic and begins to structure the common. In this future, home and territory are gateways to all other rights: dignified housing integrated with the natural environment, well-being, anti-racism, gender equality, healthy food, and harmonious coexistence with everything. Animals — both wild and domestic — are treated with dignity. Technology and knowledge, instead of subordinating life to profit, strengthen care, equity, affection, and well-being. We work on what is necessary to sustain existence with dignity and dedicate ample time to culture, art, science, and community life. The way to build this future is collective. Projects are both "what" and "with whom" at the same time: they are born from connections. We do this through liberating education, popular participation, and active listening — to nature, to the elders, to the children, and to ourselves. We advance in a spiral, recognizing cycles, learning, unlearning, and relearning. We cultivate relationships as one tends to a plant: with presence, watering, and patience. And we put our talents in the light — "all talent is grandiose" — to touch others and transform our surroundings. We do not seek unanimity; we practice dissent with respect, overcoming authoritarianism and opening space for plural existences and a harmonious evolutionary process. Politics becomes the task of producing collective happiness again. The city stops framing bodies and ways of life: it is redesigned by those who inhabit it. Decisions that matter are made with those who live their effects. And when we disagree, it should be in the paths — not in the common goal of dignity, justice, and shared joy. This desired future is not far away: the time for the future is today. It starts when each transforms within themselves what they ask from the world, finds others who dream the same, organizes, fights, and conquers. If everything was created, everything can be modified. We raise our common collage and move forward: a living work, in motion, signed with earth in our hands, music in the air, and our eyes turned toward the children.
