The "Manifesto" 1.0

So Leo Sunshine had a bunch of ideas running through his head for 50 years and then they sped up for a year and then he wrote them down in December of 2019.  This is the first draft.... 


OFFICIALLY named RadicalFaerieLiberation.School on December 23, 2019! (RFLS)


Just as in NOMENUS all are ministers and all are parishioners at RFLS all are students and all are teachers.  


ORGANIZATIONS AND STRUCTURE:

An educational philanthropic corporation made up of shareholders and stakeholders in the Portland Radical Faerie Community and beyond.  In service to Cascadia Radical Faerie Resource (CRFR), the Church of Nomenus, and biennial global faerie gatherings (geographic and virtual).  Print On Demand (POD) products like gathering related t-shirt, mugs, calendars, poster prints, revolutionary literature (Faggots and their Friends Between Revolutions  books and artwork for sale! FFBR product line).  Online, pop-up, and physical members co-op sells queer gear, arts and crafts made by members, provides work, gathering, creative, meditative, and retreat spaces.  

RFSOL built on a commercial foundation of a website that sells merchandise related to, inspired by, and for the liberation of the community and all beings.  Build it around a Shopify store ($29 month).  Document process as we go along. Documentation of process becomes a course in how to teach and repeat the course for new Radical Faerie Corporatists (RFC’s).  Functions as a community cooperative that provides meaningful, fun, and rewarding exercises in community building (AKK “work, jobs, employment, career, etc”).

Principles and Basis for growth is 1) Social incentives (it’s fun, your friends are doing it!) 2) immediate rewards (I made something!  I helped someone!  I got paid!)  and 3) Progress monitoring (wow, look at how far I’ve come in a week, month, year!  I want to do more and be more like that person in front of me and better be able to help the people behind me).   


The web business would provide training and job opportunities.  People could be trained in website development and small business management as they learn to build, stock, and operate their own section of the store.  Website co-op members would keep and/or share profits from their products or endeavors.  Training would be in person as well as online (shared online syllabus, instructional videos). Paid volunteer hours are tracked.  People who wanted to work but didn’t need the money could bank their hours in a labor fund that is dispersed among members who need or request. 

STRUCTURES:


FAENET continues to be developed as private, faerie controlled, virtual gathering space and for cyber exercise (cybercise!) in community building.  They have a phone app now and you don’t have to see dick photos!.  GOOGLE is also used as a kind of open source community development tool and  global access system.
