Implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), by far the most important initiative in the world ever, will introduce tens of systemic changes.
Several organizations also working on important systemic changes include the Next System Project, the Zeitgeist Movement and Black Lives Matter. Some of their proposed systemic changes and various UN SDG Target Action Plans (TAPs) are similar and overlap.
This plan calls for, as appropriate, integrating proposed systemic change feature into existing UN SDG Targets and TAPs or developing new TAPs so that they can be implemented rapidly in the U.S. and all over the world with organizations maintaining control over their experimental and proposed systemic changes.
It is a key part of the Plan to Accelerate the Implementation of the UN SDGs using the USP described at www.PeopleNow.org.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
__________
This plan outlines Actions to coordinate the implementation of needed social, economic, and ecological systemic changes so they will be implemented .
The objectives of this plan include:
23.4 Actions:
23.4.1 Contact all groups with proposed systemic changes and provide them information on the UN SDGs and TAPA
23.4.2 List and integrate proposed systemic change features with the existing UN SDG, Targets and Target Action Plans and TAPs or develop new TAPs
23.5.1.1 Proposed systemic change features of the “Next System Project:”
“The Next System Project is an ambitious multi-year initiative aimed at thinking boldly about what is required to deal with the systemic challenges the United States faces now and through the coming decades. Responding to real hunger for a new way forward, and building on innovative thinking and practical experience with new economic institutions and approaches being developed in communities across the country and around the world, the goal is to put the central idea of system change, and that there can be a “next system,” on the map.”
Working with a broad group of researchers, theorists and activists, we seek to launch a national debate on the nature of “the next system” using the best research, understanding and strategic thinking, on the one hand, and on-the-ground organizing and development experience, on the other, to refine and publicize comprehensive alternative political-economic system models that are different in fundamental ways from the failed systems of the past and capable of delivering superior social, economic and ecological outcomes.
By defining issues systemically, we believe we can begin to move the political conversation beyond current limits with the aim of catalyzing a substantive debate about the need for a radically different system and how we might go about its construction. Despite the scale of the difficulties, a cautious and paradoxical optimism is warranted. There are real alternatives. Arising from the unforgiving logic of dead ends, the steadily building array of promising new proposals and alternative institutions and experiments, together with an explosion of ideas and new activism, offer a powerful basis for hope.
23.5.2 Proposed systemic change features of the "Natural Law Resource-Based Global Economy" are described in: The book The Zeitgeist Movement Defined: Realizing a New Train of Thought, the video Zeitgeist - Moving Forward, and website TheVenusProject.com.
The Zeitgeist Movement recognizes that the majority of the social problems which plague the human species … such as poverty, corruption, collapse, homelessness, war, starvation and the like appear to be "Symptoms" born out of an outdated social structure. Their defining goal is the installation of a new socioeconomic model based upon technically responsible resource management, allocation and distribution through what would be considered The Scientific Method of reasoning problems and finding optimized solutions. From the TZM Mission Statement
Many of the current actions in the Strategic Plan will support the installation of this new socioeconomic model. Many will be favorably modified as a result of interacting with the TZM and the model.
PeopleNow.org wholeheartedly agrees with The Zeitgeist Movement and a primary objective of
this movement and the Strategic Plan is to help implement and maintain the much needed
Natural Law Resource Based Economy (NLRBE) the new socioeconomic system prescribed by
the Zeitgeist Movement
. many of Peoplenow.org’s efforts will be favorably modified as a result
of coordinating efforts with TZM.

23.5.3.1 “Black Lives Matter, described at http://blacklivesmatter.com/,is an ideological and political intervention in a world where Black lives are systematically and intentionally targeted for demise. It is an affirmation of Black folks’ contributions to this society, Black humanity, and Black resilience in the face of deadly oppression.”
