Manifesto

A global effort where time is of the essence

 

This is a new world.

One connected like never before. One dealing with global pandemics and threats to our humanity that require the most urgent of intentions and actions. 

We see mental health and wellness for our youth and young adults as an immediate existential threat. They are our present and our future. The clock is ticking.

It is our responsibility. It is our time.

It is time we connect the dots (if not now, then when?)

It is time we put the greatest minds in the world around the table (If not now, then when?)

It is time we eliminate the politics (if not now, then when?)

It is time we reject complacency (if not now, then when?)

It is time we ask the difficult questions (If not now, then when?)

It is time we embrace revolutionary solutions (if not now, then when?)

It is time we push through real and imaginary barriers (if not now, then when?)

It is time we finally understand that mental health affects us all; our families, friends, businesses and communities (if not now, then when?)

It is time we act with courage, defiance, imagination, creativity, compassion, ingenuity, solidarity, and empathy (if not now, then when?)

It is time we end the suffering (if not now, then when?)

This is our time. If not now, then when?
