The Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) is being
established as an international community with a vision for a
better world where every citizen can prosper, contribute and
flourish.

We are inviting you to join us in developing a positive and
hope-filled vision in response to life's most fundamental social,
economic, philosophical and cultural questions. We will provide an
alternative to big government and the inevitability of decline by
seeking answers which draw on humanity's highest virtues and
extraordinary capacity for innovation and ingenuity.

The Context

Life has improved dramatically over the past few centuries, for
almost everyone, everywhere. We live longer, are increasingly
well-educated and enjoy unparalleled access to fresh water, food,
energy and resources. While many problems remain, it is important
not to understate the enormity of the accomplishment.

Despite these long-running upward trends, we are at a defining
moment in our societies. Growth, at least in the West, has
stagnated and there is a growing scepticism and anxiety about the
sustainability of human development. The shared stories and values
which once provided unity are contested, culture is more polarised
and fragmented than ever, and there is a sense of fragility and
crisis which pervades everything from the basics of individual
identity to the heart of our democratic structures.

Our Alliance

With this as the backdrop, ARC has drawn together a unique
alliance from around the world, covering politics, business, the
arts and culture. Our ambition is to draw on our moral, cultural,
economic and spiritual foundations to imagine a future where
empowered citizens take responsibility for bringing flourishing
and prosperity to their homes, neighbourhoods, and all sectors of
society in their nation.

We are citizens from around the world but each of us recognises
that our societies are at turning points, we are in danger of
forgetting the fundamental principles which have allowed us to
flourish and we need to develop a better story.

In our first year, we will be seeking to answer six foundational
questions covering everything from our core stories to how to best
steward the environment. Stay tuned to hear more about our
upcoming events.
