Mission Statement
​
Earth Anthem is a recently incorporated California non-profit. The organization has two fundamental goals:
I. The organization seeks to promote an international anthem. The anthem is a composition for chorus, with orchestra or keyboard accompaniment, entitled “Under One Sky.” The work includes a version for orchestra and five choirs: Principle Choir, Men’s Choir, Gospel Choir, Children’s Choir and Isicathamiya Choir. (Isicathamiya is South African Zulu a cappella singing style.)
​
The anthem has 10 verses which communicate fundamental concepts of a rational society:
-
Born free. We are born free, in a natural state of affinity with others, seeking a better life; hatred is learned, and is taught.
-
Human rights. We are born with human rights which no ideology may validly curtail.
-
Knowledge. Knowledge is the domain of all; travel in this realm must be unrestrained.
-
Civil rights. Civil rights must be guaranteed to all.
-
Rational governance. Government must be based on reason, service to others, the greatest good for all and the will of the people.
-
Conservation. We must act as conservators of our natural resources and environment.
-
Sound money. All deserve sound money, money as a simple aid to commerce. Sound money is a civil right. It can and should be secured and protected.
-
Evil. Throughout history there have been men of ill will towards others, from commoners to sovereigns; they are relatively few in number, but must be confronted and stopped.
-
Truth. Opinion is not fact, confirmation bias is not truth; all deserve truth, that we may understand and effectively address our responsibilities to ourselves and to others.
-
A better world. A better world requires the hard work of all.
​
​
II. The organization seeks to raise funds, through performances, recording sales and
educational activities, and to provide grants to organizations which forward the tenets of the ten verses.
