The Saners movement is built on a complex body of theory, history and empirical evidence—about what usually works for activism and what fails.
Fortunately, people do not need to understand all of this to recognize the value of The Saners, to be motivated to join, or to participate.
Here are the basics, what a person must know. Our elevator speech.
The Saners is an emerging activist group that intends to prevent climate collapse and build a humane and sustainable civilization.
We plan to use nonviolent noncooperation, in a strategic series of campaigns, to change the world significantly for the better.
Our approach is based on ideas that historically have often proved successful for movements—even those facing seemingly impossible goals.
We are working to build a broad-based movement of activists—from those who simply share or display our messages, to people who actively organize and take part in our campaigns. We have no purity test. To be a Saner, you need to only reject violence and support our goals of preventing climate collapse and building a kinder society.

TO MEMORIZE…
Concentrate on the bolded words. Practice a few times. You’ll get it!
