Decisions far away
put our lives at risk
We have no influence
We know there’s an “existential threat”
We see weather changes
We want to enjoy our lives
We want to make ends meet
We’re tired of wars
Endless traffic
Escalating rent
Random gun violence
Constant redevelopment
Punctuated by advertising
9 Billion people
And no global management
CLIMATE CHANGE
A GLOBAL EXISTENTIAL CRISIS
Countless organizations
Lots of talk with no results
Political leaders chasing money
Who is responsible?
(WHOSE JOB IS IT ANYWAY?)
We sign petitions.
We show up.
Politicians ask for money
ARE WE UNCOORDINATED TARGETS FOR ADVERTISING
OR CAN WE USE OUR COLLECTIVE STRENGTH?
-ORGANIZED-
WE ARE POWERFUL
BUT ACTIVISM IS HARD WORK!
INTRODUCING
COORDINATED ACTION NETWORKS
Turn community consensus into effective action
CAN empowers identity, cohesion, sustainable enterprise and global coordination
C.A.N. WORKS BY 100% INCLUSION
People show up
COORDINATION EMERGES IN COMMUNICATION
Expression → Mutual Interest
ALIGNMENT
CONSENSUS
MOMENTUM
Capacity for effective Action
Human-centered community cloud networks
Verified consensus-building
Real time reports to media
Globally interconnected
Local action→Global results
Sustainability emerges from local focus
This is how it works—in real time
1. Show Up
On community platforms
2. Express
Problems, ideas, concerns
Personal experience
(low barrier — common denominator entry)
3. Ground
Establish a common reference
Test what holds up
(CAN education layer)
4. See
What people agree on—right now
What they don’t
(alignment becomes visible)
5. Refine
Discuss
Challenge
Propose solutions
(understanding through interaction)
6. Decide
Consensus enables a collective voice
7. Act
Coordinate resources
Track outcomes
Global coordination results from communication across borders
Example 1: Sustainable Development
A city needs affordable housing
Coordinated Action Networks
Communities act on shared priorities
Consensus favors energy-saving optimization
Without protests
(efficiency through cooperation)
City adopts sustainable innovations
THRIVING LOCAL ECONOMY
Absent inclusive network
developers battle the community
community slows or stops deverlopment
Uncertain outcomes
Example 2: Climate Resilience
Sea level rising causes coastal flooding
COORDINATED ACTION NETWORKS
C.A.N. networks is a communication hub
Community better prepared for mobilization
Volunteers engage in coordinated action
CAN communities support other communities.
Government supports the CAN-organized volunteer cadre
Absent CAN network
Greater risk of loss of property and life
Government resources are limited
Organizing during emergencies
Insufficient preparation
Resource logistics inaequate
People are less well-trained
Communication disrupted
Example 3: Global Warming
Extreme heat, rising costs, energy instability, and conflict-driven disruption
COORDINATED ACTION NETWORKS
Problems are similar around the world
Many shocks are interconnected
Many consequences are global
We must address problems independently
Established networks provide universal access to global resources
→
RESILIENCE
Coordinated Action Networks
Local actions aligning for global impact
COMMUNITIES
Independently acting together
