THRIVE Movement releases series of infographics on our financial system works and a simple 3-Step guide on how-to transfer banks
This is an example of proactive, non-violent non-participation – a strategy Gandhi used successfully in India and Martin Luther King relied on in the Civil Rights Movement. Our financial system is corrupt at its core, as were the salt laws in India and segregation in the US.
Moving our money out of the big centralized banks sends a clear message that we will not support them with our deposits, or be a part of their corrupt practices.
As advocates for local banking we recognize that changing banks can feel like a big step, so we wanted to provide a simple 3-step guide to help people make the best choices when looking to transfer their money.
Feel free to download this image along with any of the other informational illustrations and video on the right sidebar and help get the word out about how our money system REALLY works.
Our aim is to not only help people know HOW to transfer banks, but to help them understand WHY they should, by illustrating how rigged the financial system is.
We can STOP funding the problem AND START funding the SOLUTION all in ONE move.
Find out what else we can do to reclaim our lives and our future on at thrivemovement.com on 11-11-11 when we release our expansive website and unconventional documentary film, THRIVE – What on Earth Will it Take?, in 11 languages.
We will be posting a new video clip from the film and our website every week for the next three months starting 11-11-11.

The Thrive Theme song
THRIVE
cycles repeating – the earth is speaking
saying time has come to wake up from
this nightmare of lies
so many shattered lives
reaching out… crying
crying out for freedom
crying out for love
carried by the current
‘til we stand side by side
on the brink of a brand new dawn
we come together while the waters rise
there’s a stirring…
what on earth does it take to thrive?
while we’ve been sleeping
our hearts were beating
so much closer than we ever knew
beneath the noise there’s an inner voice
whispering clear and true
the veils are finally lifting
a way’s becoming clear
there’s a dream without a limit
and a vision so strong
every person knows they belong
we come together while the waters rise
there’s a stirring… deep inside… deep inside
we come together to stand up for our lives
what on earth does it take to…
thrive
out in the open
thrive
healing what’s broken
every heart… every life
claiming our place in it now
we come together while the waters rise
there’s a stirring… deep inside… deep inside
we come together to stand up for our lives
we all have what it takes to thrive
we come together while the waters rise
there’s a stirring… deep inside… deep inside
we come together to stand up for our lives
we all have what it takes to thrive
we all have what it takes to thrive
we all have what it takes to thrive!
