At FRIENDS ACROSS BORDERS, we promote a simple truth:
We, the peoples of North America, are friends.
We need international boundaries that promote the health, happiness, and prosperity of all people, including the indigenous sovereign nations whose lands and peoples have been bisected by the creation of modern nations. By building peaceful, fruitful, cross-border relationships, we build trust, promote mutual respect, enhance shared learning, and increase human bonds of affection and solidarity. The economic strength, ecological health, and political stability of all the nations of North America – including the United States – depends on our establishing relations of peace and friendship across borders.
This coalition of individuals, organizations, and elected officials is committed to building a movement across the continent linking our common interests. Anyone can join this new coalition simply by signing THE FRIENDSHIP PLEDGE. This pledge declares in part: “We, the peoples of North America, are friends … We are not enemies … We recognize and celebrate the value of friendship across borders.”
