Non-Anthropocentric
Politics
Why?
Political parties are built to exist for decades, one election cycle at a time, no more. We must rethink this model and find ways to align with our ecosystem.
Could we build a political campaign that goes beyond a 5-year plan?
How?
The Rooted Front is a speculative political party that offers an alternative to a pace we can’t maintain.
It calls to center what makes us, people, and our environment. It is deep, rooted, and cherishes beings while being transformative.
There are approximately 28,587,000,000 earthworms in Vancouver, making them one of the largest populations present on the land. They strongly contribute to the ecosystem, yet they remain excluded from political decision-making. In this speculative campaign, we want to center their voices.
Where do we go from there?
This campaign isn’t the only one taking root in our political world. Recent movements are investigating different ways of acting politics. They are planting seeds to widen the Overton window.
