The Declarations
The Civic Independence project is built around three declarations.
The People’s Declarations are made publicly available as a complete civic project on July 4, 2026.
Each declaration retains its own formal date of issuance.
Declaration of Civic Independence — first issued March 26, 2026
Declaration of Independence from Unaccountable Power — issued July 4, 2026
The Declaration for Life on Earth — available as an advance public edition July 4, 2026; formal issuance Earth Day, April 22, 2027
Together, they form a broader civic body of witness: one addressing national self-government, one addressing unaccountable power, and one addressing the future of life on Earth.
They are not offered as partisan statements.
They are not offered as campaign materials.
They are not offered as the property of any organization or individual.
They are offered as peaceful civic instruments for people to read, consider, sign, share, and carry forward in their own names.
Declaration of Civic Independence
The Declaration of Civic Independence affirms the right and responsibility of the people of the United States to reclaim moral and constitutional self-government, reject unaccountable foreign influence, oppose unlawful war and complicity in mass human suffering, and restore a public life grounded in law, human dignity, peace, and equal justice.
This declaration speaks to the right of a people to govern itself, to reject the capture of public power, and to insist that the United States government answer first to the Constitution, the law, the equal dignity of human life, and the people of this country.
First issued: March 26, 2026
Included in The People’s Declarations public launch: July 4, 2026
Declaration of Independence from Unaccountable Power
The Declaration of Independence from Unaccountable Power affirms that no power is legitimate when it becomes unaccountable to the people, insulated from truth, hostile to consent, or organized beyond democratic correction.
It calls for nonviolence, constitutional fidelity, transparency, public accountability, and the restoration of government that answers to the governed.
This declaration speaks not only to government, but to all systems of power that claim authority while escaping responsibility.
Issued: July 4, 2026
The Declaration for Life on Earth
The Declaration for Life on Earth affirms the responsibility of humanity to protect the living Earth and the future of life.
It declares that human systems of power and production must not be permitted to destroy the ecological foundations of existence, the rights of future generations, or the shared inheritance of life on this planet.
This declaration speaks to humanity’s responsibility to life itself: to the living Earth, to future generations, and to the conditions that make justice, freedom, peace, and survival possible.
Available as an advance public edition: July 4, 2026
Formal issuance: Earth Day — April 22, 2027
Together
Together, these declarations affirm that public power must answer to the people, to truth, to justice, to peace, to the Constitution, to human dignity, and to the living future.
They are not a substitute for voting, organizing, public service, journalism, litigation, education, protest, petition, or peaceful assembly.
They are a common civic statement that can strengthen lawful efforts to restore public accountability, self-government, and moral responsibility.
They give people a way to say:
We are here.
We see what is happening.
We do not consent to silence.
We stand peacefully together.
We affirm that power must answer to the people.
