Lebanese from abroad

Many Lebanese, in Lebanon and the diaspora are hoping an administration that will live up to their sense of social and environmental justice, as well as solidify the Lebanese identity. Many can envision a functional, equalitarian, diverse, healthy and green kind of Lebanon. The Lebanese Patriotic Party and the General Aoun have championed the cause of preserving the Lebanese identity since 1989 and ending corruption. We now need the new government, lead by the General Aoun to add social and environmental justice to this cause. WITH ONE CLICK, send president Aoun an email asking him to include social and and environmental activists in the new government. You’re welcome to edit the message before sending it.

To: The president of Lebanon, General Michel Aoun.                                                             .

You have lead the effort to preserve the identity of Lebanon since that fateful moment in 1989, when you appealed to the public to stand up to a foreign-fabricated civil war and regain their sense national identity. Now that you have finally made it, we have a request. Many Lebanese, in Lebanon and the diaspora want Lebanon to be not just independent, but also environmentally and socially sound, and with a government that engages experts and innovators. We now need your new government to add social and environmental justice to its patriotic mandate.

You rallied all the political players around the goal of forming an independent Lebanese government, but these are not all of the Lebanese. The skilled innovators in the Beirut Madinati movement earned 40% of the votes in the Beirut municipal elections because they are socially and environmentally aware. They have shown us that the public believes in social and environmental justice, and leaders that emerge organically from the community. Educated, skilled people are your most natural ally in making Lebanon function again, and Lebanon's best chance, so we hope your administration will not ignore them. This government is the first to be loyal and dedicated to Lebanon, and it goals are demanding. In order to achieve demanding goals many cities around the world create councils of appointed skilled volunteers to help out. If your administration embraced social and environmental grassroots movements, it would gain knowledge on how to engage the public and live up to its expectations.

Thank you for your time
