The Fair Start Tell the Truth Campaign
Climate change is killing innocent children and some are hiding accountability for those deaths by using the same failed system of justice that caused it.
For decades the wealthy funders driving environmentalism engaged in equity fraud: They would make money on growth, which was enabled by not paying the costs of children’s rights as those children entered the world.
This caused increasing political inequity, leading to many problems. The funders would give to organizations that would silo the problems away and downstream from that cause. The funders could felt better but still make money, and problems were shuffled forward.
The Tell the Truth campaign urges us all to admit that our collectively benefiting from systems that violated all children’s right to a fair start in life, and assuming children of color deserved much less resources and much more risk, has done more to harm our values and missions than we did to further them.
Our doing that amounted to our using an illegal standard, one Fair Start is now challenging in legal actions.
The growth and political inequity enabled by those violations has degraded the capacity of the earth to ensure infant and animal health – the only true measure of value, while disempowering the average person, taking what our birth rights give us in democracy and selling us back the rights as goods and services in an economy.
The Tell the Truth campaign urges wealthy leaders, and government officials, to admit their entitlements to wealth and governmental authority only derive from, and are conditioned on, empowering children by giving them political equity and a fair start in life.
This is not charity. Fair Start reparations are preemptive, crowdsourceable reparations subject to universal enforceability that allow all to constitute a free and just future.
We can’t get to justice, legitimate legal systems and public protection from injustice, violating rights and exploiting others.

The Tell the Truth campaign asks all:
How are you accounting in your value claims for children entering the world, relative to what their rights require? Do you realize that entitlements to claim ownership of wealth, or any governmental authority, is contingent on not violating those rights, and on empowering citizens so that representative governance is possible?
How would one get entitlements to protection without requiring it for infants in birth and development? If one received the benefits of a system of values, including things like moderate temperatures, access to food and water, and relative security, would we not be eager to ensure those values also limited fundamental systems of entitlements so that others could enjoy them?
