What is The Zeitgeist Movement?

Written by Peter Joseph |

Mission Statement

Founded in 2008, The Zeitgeist Movement is a Sustainability Advocacy Organization which conducts community based activism and awareness actions through a network of Global/Regional Chapters, Project Teams, Annual Events, Media and Charity Work.

The Movement's principle focus includes the recognition that the majority of the social problems which plague the human species at this time are not the sole result of some institutional corruption, scarcity, a political policy, a flaw of "human nature" or other commonly held assumptions of causality in the activist community. Rather, The Movement recognizes that issues such as poverty, corruption, collapse, homelessness, war, starvation and the like appear to be "Symptoms" born out of an outdated social structure.

Chapter Purpose, Focus & Coordinating

Our Purpose:

The ZM Chapters structure is our communication network to organize world-wide. Each new chapter gives people in that region a place to go to engage in these ideas. At the moment the Movement’s focus is on awareness activism of not only the Movement’s presence, but of the root-causes to persistent social problems and a sustainable solution which can be briefly named a resource-based economic model. The chapters themselves are focused on on-the-ground awareness projects and social interaction in regard to this direction.

NPOs/Intentional Communities

As often comes up, we have TZM supporters interested in putting energy into a local project such as: a sustainable intentional community, a form of tech-farming, or off-grid initiatives to feed a local community, etc. The information provided here is to reiterate what has already been discussed in prior meetings regarding these projects and non-profit status in the U.S.

Just so you are aware, if you, or any TZM chapter member, or a coordinator plans to create a Non Profit Organization this is NOT A ZEITGEIST MOVEMENT ORGANIZATION! It is a LOCAL ORGANIZATION managed by those individuals. TZM administrators/supporters take no responsibility for the management of any such local projects. While we think these projects offer fantastic experiences for you to participate in locally, these are not global RBE projects or organizations.

US Coordinator's summary based on Peter Joseph's presentation:

It is important to understand that The Zeitgeist Movement (TZM) is not looking for a direction or input to define our direction. This is established and documented throughout our materials. Public acknowledgment in support of the movement is a person’s completely voluntary “vote” for what we are doing, so it is recommend that people become familiar with what the movement is about, and how the movement operates, before to representing themselves as supporters. Thoroughly researching something to see if you are in agreement with it, prior to endorsing it is…well…sensible.

TZM supports a global, Resource-Based Economy (RBE) and we are in a phase of spreading awareness about this. Collaboration from movement supporters is welcomed and encouraged within the many teams that function to facilitate awareness communication.
