You never change things by fighting the existing 
				reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the 
				existing model obsolete.

				THE 
				TRANSITION BRICK FUNDRAISER CALL TO ACTION! 
				
				 
				
				The Transition Team invites you get in on the 
				excitement, and purchase an engraved brick so you can cement 
				your legacy as a founding contributor of The Transition.
				
				
				 
				
				In efforts to raise the funds needed to purchase our first 
				property and create our headquarters, The Transition Team is 
				selling Sponsored Engraved Bricks, Slabs, and Tiles. Our current 
				goal is to raise $25,000 by our challenging deadline of May 11th 
				for the down payment blocking the ability for anyone else to 
				pursue this property. 
				
				 
				
				*Remember a loved one* 
				
				*Honor someone special* 
				
				 *Join other transition supporters for a group brick*
				
				
				*Engrave your intentional community or co�op name*
				
				*Set your name in stone for decades to come*
				
				 
				 Society 
				is transforming and maturing, moving towards an era of more 
				collaboration, connection and contribution. Together our aim is 
				to perpetuate and expand a society based on on these values. The 
				Transition is not a revolution, it is an evolution. We are not 
				fighting against the current system. We are adapting the current 
				system so that it can transform into something better that would 
				enable all of us to achieve a much higher standard of living 
				within a relatively short period of time. A standard of living 
				that would be continuously improved as we develop our 
				technologies and the ways in which these discoveries are 
				implemented. Rather than isolating ourselves completely from the 
				mainstream, we promote The Transition as a 
				viable alternative. Our intention is to bring together those who 
				follow a compass set with the same values so we can reach our 
				mutual goals faster. 
				 
				This fundraiser 
				is about starting on a local scale, but acting with the 
				intention of global change to bridge he gap between our present 
				times and a Global Egalitarian System. (Some examples of similar 
				concepts or ideas are Economic Singularity, Resource Based 
				Economy (RBE), Gifting Economy, and Ubuntu) An egalitarian 
				society operates by meeting human needs as the first social 
				priority, and transcends assorted social and civil as well as 
				economic problems by lucidly grasping the difference between 
				NEEDS and Wants. This is a scientific approach, rooted in the 
				modern Pyramid of Needs, which builds on the work of Abraham 
				Maslow, and Behavioral Psychology. The end result being 
				worldwide shared assets and an intelligent infrastructure that 
				serves and supports the planet and humanity who in turn become 
				the caretakers of the Earth. 
				 
				Together we 
				will buy existing affordable properties and businesses in small 
				towns, suburbs and even cities, as well as create various new 
				cottage industries. Today we take that first step with the down 
				payment for our headquarters property. 
				 
				Our current 
				society’s pattern of withholding what is needed, and the 
				hoarding of possessions, is in our opinion both irrational and 
				counterproductive to our survival yet it continues on the 
				national, city, community, and even the family level throughout 
				most ‘civilized’ cultures. We don’t think it needs to be this 
				way. By having working Transitional Communities we create proof 
				that a global society using Egalitarianism is within reach. And 
				it all starts today... with your help we can purchase our first 
				property and establish our headquarters!
