EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Overview: This breakthrough model of collaboration and mutual support will allow 1,000s of socially conscious organizations and individuals to effectively work together to create a world where people live in harmony with each other and with the rest of nature. At a time when there is so much suffering in the world, and the obstacles to peace and sustainability are so great, Global Resources Networking (GRN) will provide the resources and interconnectivity to facilitate local, regional and international civil society education, collaboration and organizing.

The GRN will accelerate the formation of a powerful international movement of concerned and informed people that generates political will and the enlightened consumer power needed to create a world that truly works for all!

In creating the GRN we will utilize our already-established extensive network of over 10,000 groups and individuals around the world plus our working relationships with hundreds of visionary leaders (such as Archbishop Desmond Tutu) and major organizations that include Amnesty International and the Jane Goodall Institute.

Imagine the tremendous social, economic, and political power of 1000s of organizations representing millions of people sharing resources, cross promoting their endeavors and participating in periodic mass events taking place simultaneously around the world!

Purpose: We are developing Global Resources Networking as a comprehensive, collaborative, worldwide communications and organizing network with innovative web-based technological resources. We envision this as a tool to:

   1) significantly improve the effectiveness and visibility of civil society organizations and socially conscious businesses worldwide,

   2) organize large-scale Public International Events that engage, inform and involve a global audience. 11 Days of Global Unity, launched in Sept. 2004 by We, The World, was the first of these and now annually includes over 200 events taking place in more than 60 countries around the world.

To Achieve this the GRN will utilize innovative organizing tools such as: 1) A Global Event Calendar, 2) Collaborations tools and staff, 3) Partnering and multiple links with existing major networks, and 4) A Communications Network with online broadcasting and many other enhanced multimedia capabilities
