- Hi, my name is Iv Amenti, and this piece is entitled "Iv for President".
We're looking to mobilize a movement, organize elders, adults, and youth, and trigger a campaign more real than the truth.
Get your boots and suits and armor.
We are looking to partner with members of humanity who believe in the greening of our society, a collective economy, dollars circulating into business.
I'm thinking some social entrepreneurships.
This global societal commitment to reshape the minds of our children, to inspire them to invent inventions for the sustainment of our Earthship.
Life can be as good as we wanna make it.
I'm looking to mobilize a movement where the organized have objectives and capital improvements.
Gentrifications antithesis.
Urban design, designed with you in mind.
Can't y'all see it now?
When it all goes down, when two fists struck upon a pound, like two ants standing on the mound, we work for the colony.
We think in both economics and ecology, 'cause we understand from the annuals of our earth's modern history that nothing can be achieved without these two things, economics and ecology.
Y'all follow me?
This is real life, honeys, it ain't no tweet.
So, as you sit there posting on your IG and your FB, I suggest you go and get you one.
Let's go and get ourselves a collective dream, because the way I see it, if we can mobilize a movement, we can be the change we wanna see with just a few meetings, some economics, and some strategy.
Y'all follow me (laughing), because we can be the change we wanna see, if we mobilize a movement.
