HUMANIST MOVEMENT
Date: ……………

Dear friends,
let me present myself: my name is …., I live in ….., Italy, age, married or unmarried, …. children.
I have been participating actively in the Humanist Movement since … and I am one of the coordinators of this Movement. The activities developed led me to organise and orient groups of the Humanist Movement in different cities and countries.

This small experience of work during more than … years in favour of the liberation of the Human Being and the contact with thousands of people who work voluntarily and free of charge in different fields for a more human society has been the experience that most enriched my life.

As you well know, the world in which we are living is in a profound crisis. Those who govern and the traditional schemes do not provide and will never provide any answers to the questions of this epoch, since their way of seeing things comes from a previous stage and their answers are not adapted to the necessities of today’s Human Beings.

Our Movement, founded during the sixties in Latin America and spread today in 80 countries of different cultures and continents, believes that only the union and the organisation of entities who work in different fields and religions, but who belong to a similar sensibility, can represent an answer in order to pass to another moment of human history. This is what we call Convergence of Diversity.

The analysis which the Humanist Movement makes regarding the conditions necessary to produce a change in favour of all human beings, considers practically two aspects:

a)	In spite of a world more interconnected than ever before, the organisations and bonds between persons tend to become more and more unstructured, fragmented, and make it impossible for the progressive forces to work efficiently.
b)	The supposed objective conditions for this change (the great needs which a majority of people suffer today) are insufficient, but it is necessary to wake up the conscience, the subjectivity regarding the possibility of such a change, involving actively the populations in this process.

This change which we aspire to must place the Human Being as a central value, must guarantee equal rights and opportunities to all people (regardless of their origin, conditions, race, sex, nationality, religion, etc.). This further step towards the freedom of the Human Being does not allow violence in any of its expressions nor any kind of discrimination. This new historical moment must place Health, Education and Quality of Life of all the people before any consideration of exclusively economic character.

The proposal of the Humanist Movement does not terminate in the externalities of the Human Being, but underlines the need to deliver the internality of people, to reflect together over the existential questions of each Human Being, to recompose the bonds between people (today severely damaged) through direct communication.

The Humanist Movement is an organisation which is completely independent from governments and companies and is self-financed thanks to the contributions and the voluntary work of its members. It operates in a great number of social, cultural and political activities, in campaigns of human support, anti-discrimination and many others. 
Dear friends, I thought it was necessary to provide this introduction under the form of a presentation, although the reason for this letter is very simple:

If your Organisation works in the direction of the postulates briefly enunciated, I wish to invite you to deepen the contact and to join this great Humanist current in order to produce the big change we all aspire to.

We will certainly need to deepen our bonds and our mutual knowledge, and I express right now my readiness to travel to any place where this sensibility exists, in order to undertake the organisational work and clarifications that might be necessary.

Attached to this letter I am sending you some Documents of the Humanist Movement which may broaden your vision of it.

Waiting for your reply, I am sending you my best regards.

…………
Coordinator of the Humanist Movement.
