Complementary Paths: The IPC Petition and the PePa Draft Statement IH Compared

=> PePa - Statement DRAFTS: https://justpaste.it/pepa-st

A statement titled “Defending Life Against Genocide, Ethnic Cleansing, and Aggression” has emerged, linked to the IPC 2024 and circulating as a petition. It shares strong values with the Statement PePa is shaping.

Do we move forward with a separate PePa Statement, or consider building upon or aligning with this one?
If we do proceed with the PePa Statement, should we publish it:
- on our own site(s) (like other permaculture statements), or
- on a petition platform, and focus on mobilizing support?
Statement vs. Petition — what serves our intention best?
- A statement might speak clearly and symbolically.
- A petition may increase reach but shifts tone/expectation.
What gives our effort legitimacy or weight?
- The IPC statement refers to a convergence with a defined circle of authors.
- Ours has emerged through open collaboration—similar to how other public statements (e.g. post-Trump, climate, etc.) have been shaped.
- Should we envision media outreach or collective sign-ons after publication?
What are we aiming for in terms of effect?
- Popular engagement and visibility?
- Endorsement by permaculture orgs?
- Seeding reflection and positioning within the movement?
