This realization reframes the core pillars of resilience, choice, and vitality, aligning them with the imperative of combating aging and death.\n\nSuch an alignment redefines the objectives and strategies of civic innovation.\n\n## Resilience\n\nWithin the ambit of radical life extension, the concept of Resilience is re-envisioned as a robust commitment to life as the highest value. It transcends mere adaptation or survival; resilience here is a fervent affirmation of life and a staunch resistance to all manifestations of death.\n\nA resilient, developing society that has a future can only be realized on a solid foundation of the resilience of its members. With an unlimited life expectancy, it is beneficial for citizens to create public goods, because they will also be their potential beneficiaries in the future. Every member of the society must take care of the life of every member of the society, this is a situation in which a truly very resilient society will be realized.\n\n## Choice and Individual Agency\n\nAt its core, choice embodies the essence of individual sovereignty and the capacity to shape one\u2019s destiny. However, this fundamental right is severely compromised by the inexorable process of aging, leading to an inevitable mortality. This erosion of choice, where one's lifespan is predetermined by the aging process, represents a grave injustice that undermines personal agency.\n\nAging is an unfortunate circumstance that we can choose to correct. The choice to defeat aging is what will mark the transition of our civilization to the path of real freedom, when we change reality in accordance with our desires, developing science and technology for this, and do not change our desires in accordance with existing possibilities and, as a result, stagnate.\n\nVictory over aging is a victory over fatalism. This is the first step to begin to determine your own destiny.\n\n## Vitality and Sustaining Life\n\nVitality is the power of resistance to death, which can be expressed in life expectancy. The primary objective of vitality is the total eradication of the causes of death. In a society focused on endless life extension, all innovations, policies, and societal shifts are geared towards life preservation, marking a paradigm shift in the way we treat ourselves, each other and the environment.\n\nIn a world where unlimited lifespans are achievable, environmental stewardship becomes a central tenet for continued existence. Those looking towards a future of indefinite life recognize their deep-seated investment in the planet's health and sustainability. This perspective transforms environmental care from a mere ethical choice to an existential necessity. As a result, the protection and nurturing of our planet are seen as essential components of the life extension endeavor, with individuals more motivated than ever to ensure a healthy environment, knowing it's key to their own indefinite survival.\n\n# SayForever!\n### Civic Mobilization for Life Extension\n\nOur project is a comprehensive initiative aimed at accelerating the fight against aging and involving more individuals in the field. We are committed to:\n\n- Enhancing global collaboration and networking.\n- Promoting research and public awareness about life extension.\n- Increasing civic participation and support in the anti-aging movement.\n\n## Special Initiative: Activist Instruction Set for Life Extension\n\nIn our broader mission, we're dedicated to creating a comprehensive set of instructions for life extension activists. This initiative is crucial because it provides activists with the tools and guidance needed to effectively promote life extension. These instructions will be practical, easy to follow, and cover a wide range of activities:\n- Guide on Conducting Street Campaigns for SayForever! Detailing steps to organize impactful public events.\n- Social Media Management for Longevity Activists Offering strategies to effectively use platforms like Twitter to raise awareness.\n- Establishing SayForever! Hubs in Cities Instructions on setting up local centers for life extension advocacy.\n- Hosting Educational Lectures on Life Extension Guidelines for organizing and conducting informative sessions.\n- Organizing Transhumanist Art Exhibitions Steps to showcase art that aligns with life extension and transhumanism.\n- Fostering Open Science in Longevity Research: Providing guidance on how to contribute to and participate in open science initiatives, facilitating transparency and collaboration in longevity research.\n\nThese instructions, hosted on platforms like Notion for ease of access and collaboration, will empower activists with the knowledge and confidence to effectively advocate for life extension, significantly contributing to our cause.\n\n## Outcome and Public Good:\n\n- Empowerment Through Actionable Guidance: Our set of instructions will empower activists by providing clear, actionable guidance for engaging in various aspects of life extension activism.\n- Enhancing Effectiveness and Reach: These instructions will enable activists to conduct more effective and far-reaching campaigns, events, and initiatives.\n- Knowledge Sharing and Community Building: By simplifying complex concepts and strategies into accessible instructions, we will promote knowledge sharing and create a platform for community building.\n- Inspiring New Activists: Easy-to-follow instructions will lower the barrier to entry, encouraging more people to participate in the life extension movement.\n- Fostering Friendships: We are engaged not only in activism, but also in building a community with deep emotional connections. We want as many people as possible to be genuinely interested in living a long life. Let this be a reason for you to have more friends.\n\n## Funding Request:\nWe are seeking grant support for the development of our comprehensive set of instructions for life extension activism. This initiative, envisioned as a vital tool for the community, aims to empower individuals with practical, step-by-step guides for effective action in the movement. The funding will be instrumental in ensuring these resources are thoroughly researched, well-designed, and accessible to activists worldwide, ultimately enhancing the collective impact in the field of life extension.\n\n## Our Team:\n- Misha Batin: Founder and visionary leader in the life extension community, Misha is known for his deep insights into longevity research and advocacy.
