Welcome to PULL TOGETHER NOW (PTN), a global family who accepts our sacred responsibility to care for peace, children, family, community, and Mother Earth before all else. We hold the long-view and strive to be the “Good Ancestors” our sacred children and future generations of Life need us to be. We come from the 4-Directions, transcending cultural, social, political, geographical, and other imaginary boundaries for the peaceful, healthy, equitable world we know is possible and The Future deserves. We’re returning to our ancestral roots ─ re-membering, renewing, and protecting our sacred connection and relationship with each another and our Mother, Earth ─ our only home.

PTN creates opportunities to gather, share, and protect what holds us together ─ ancient and new stories, songs, ceremonies, living knowledge and know-how, the arts, real food, and the Water and Land we belong to and love. We honor, connect, and lift up individuals, organizations, and businesses being “Good Ancestors” where they live and beyond. We’re listening, learning, relaying, and applying ways of knowing, being, and thinking from diverse vantage points, and growing trust to pull together in ways that leave no one, no place, out or behind.

The Path We Walk begins inside each of us as we answer this fundamental question:
How are we serving peace and the perpetual well-being of our children and their children’s children, families, communities, sacred Water, Land, Air, and generations of other living beings where we live and around the world?

Good Ancestors do not look away.

Though we have witnessed and experienced atrocities, and remember and tell it like it was and is, we’re rising above imaginary boundaries to honor and share the beauty within and around us. Good Ancestors ignore the propaganda of division, difference, and doom. We’re turning this world around, face-to-face and place-to-place, with humility, humor, dignity, courage, imagination, and love.

PTN invites Good Ancestors to connect and collaborate through an ancient tradition with no end:

The Ancestors’ Relay >
Getting back to caring for peace, children, family, community,
and Mother Earth before all else!

We are carrying our Ancestors’ Message Sticks across homelands and oceans, honoring and defending what matters most:
> each other, our children, and all the communities of Life we belong to. Nurturing children with love to be strong spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. Preserving and exchanging ancestral traditions, wisdom, living knowledge and know-how, seeds, and imagination required to be resilient and thrive together with enough ─ in harmony with the rest of Nature ─  now and forever. Honoring and protecting Elders and Knowledge-holders with the relationship to sacred Water, Land, and Community to care for all people.
> our relationship with The Web of Life: protecting and fairly sharing pure sacred Water, healthy Air, Land, Fire, Seeds, Food, and Medicine from Mother Earth, and all forms of Life.
> transcending imaginary barriers to free the world from systems of domination and greed driving perpetual war, genocide, ecocide, and “artificial intelligence”; predators vying for power over everyone and every place, intent on commodifying every expression of Life by any means.

The Ancestors’ Message Stick carries stories, information of critical importance to all people, seeds, gifts, and… It represents humankind’s living memory with wisdom, experience, keen observation, and spiritual insights gained over long periods of time. The color purple reflects the blending of beauty and goodness in and around us that serves the well-being of all people and Mother Earth. We are filled with the power of survivors, ancestors who made our lives possible and whose love, sacrifice, creativity, and dreams we carry. Good Ancestors look back and forward across generations for Life-affirming guidance, inclusive of all Peoples without preference for any cultures, nationalities, spiritual traditions, status, age groups, or place on Earth. We honor the protocols of reciprocal relationship rooted in Natural Law, not the hierarchical law of man that perpetuates domination and destruction of Life.
