ncludes steps that you can take to bring a new perspective to the discourse=
 in your home, your community and the media.</p>

<h3>6. Helping Youth Become Transformative Activists</h3>
We believe that the youth of our world desperately want to be engaged in=
 meaningful efforts to create a future that allows them to have a good life=
 too, and we provide opportunities for them to promote the New Bottom Line =
in ways they find engaging and exciting.

<h2>The Power Is In Our Hands</h2>
We have a clear vision for how to move our world toward a politics of lo=
ve and care, and we are already hard at work to turn that vision into a rea=
lity. We invite you to join us in casting off the ethos of scarcity and ind=
ividualism that global capitalism requires and step with joy into a new und=
erstanding of the abundance and power that is already in our hands.

To sustain this work, we do not need booby-trapped dollars from mega-cor=
porations, centrist foundations, or oil tycoons. All we need is for the ten=
s of thousands of people who already love and appreciate our work=E2=80=94i=
ncluding you!=E2=80=94to step up and contribute the equivalent of one hourl=
y wage a month.

This easy sliding scale is affordable for everyone because it is pegged =
to what you make. If you earn $10 an hour, then we ask that you donate just=
 $10.00 per month for a year. If you earn or bill clients/patients $200 an =
hour (or the equivalent thereof), we ask that you donate $200 per month for=
 a year. If you earn an annual salary of $40,000 per year, then (if you cal=
culate a 40-hour work week) that amounts to approximately $20 per hour, so =
you would donate just $20 per month. We request a minimum donation of $5.00=
 per month for a year. (Of course you can donate a yearly lump sum equivale=
nt if that is preferable for you.)

<p>In this way, without relying on corporate money, we can collectively ste=
p into our power, shake off our feelings of despair and powerlessness, and =
generate the resources we need to sustain this fight for a New Bottom Line =
into the coming year.</p>

<h2>Our Gifts to You</h2>
<p>Anyone who donates a minimum of $5 per month (or yearly equivalent as a =
lump sum) will receive the following gifts with their membership:</p>
