TZM December 2018 Newsletter
Here’s a small summary of what’s been happening in The Zeitgeist Movement and related groups.
It was August when the last newsletter was sent.
The 2019 global Zday event will be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The first time it’ll be in Latin America. But we are looking for help. In order to cover the costs of a real time translator without making the cost of the event unbearably expensive for those in the region who have been going through major economic strife they have launched a crowd funding campaign. They’ve raised $1,300 of the required USD $2,000
Have a look at their incredible video about it. With quality that good you know the event will be worth it.

As part of the awesome work that Erykah Sundance has been doing in getting the post-scarcity, post-monetary groups together The Zeitgeist Movement has signed the Common Heritage pledge.
https://www.commonheritage.us/
The pledge in its final form:
I declare the Earth as the Common Heritage for all life.
I support a global transition to a system based on science and the Earth’s capacity to sustain us. Replacing resource competition, money/trade and private property with sharing earth’s resources, goods, services, technology and knowledge.
In this system, I pledge to freely contribute my skills and motivations with my time and labor. To serve a community that serves me, that fulfills my basic needs, and does not subjugate me in any way.
I do this with the knowledge that others will too, and hereby affirm my commitment for co-creating a better world for me, and for all.
You can learn more at the Common Heritage website or view the final document.
Below is a work in progress image of other various Common Heritage groups:

Michael Kubler : The Price of Zero Transition to an RBE, Zday 2018
Michael Kubler talks about transitioning to a post-scarcity / abundance centered society by first getting the necessities of life to be free to everyone on the planet, using what he calls the Price of Zero transition.
His slides are available at http://bit.ly/price-of-zero-slides
“A Picture of Transition” looks at several looming economic crises in energy and resource overshoot, challenges that we will face in transitioning to a renewably-powered circular economy, social adaptations that need to be made, how they can improve quality of life, and with case studies, shows how you can get this ball rolling in your local community, making almost anything from almost nothing.
Want to contribute to the newsletter? Email newsletter@zeitgeist-info.com with any news or updates.
As these are only sent a couple of times a year, you should post to the #development_and_news Discord channel if there’s more timely news. Then it can get automatically added to the TZM news portal.
We hope you have a great 2019.
Happy RBE!
