protecting dignity – promoting well-being
The Covid19 pandemic has exposed how the current systems have failed. In every society there are systemic inequalities that privilege wealth over wellbeing. Fundamental change is needed. IHMA seeks to protect human dignity to create flourishing communities that nurture societal well being. We stand for individual freedom, relating authentically with love and co-creating with compassion.
Society should be organized to honor the inherent value of all life and create a better future. The economy should be organized to work for all and not just a select few. Organizing practices should protect human dignity and promote flourishing.

Businesses must balance profits WITH human welfare. One doesn’t come at the expense of the other, rather, they are intimately connected with each other as well as to global environmental health. Instead of judging “good” solely based on profits, “good” should be judged by how businesses impact society.
