HUMANITY
FIRST PROJECT
Based on a simple paradigm shift using national flags, the Humanity First Project
creates a physical visualization of an idea that defends Human Rights
with a focus on the importance, value, and quality of life as the
primary basis for civic and governmental policy actions and decisions.
The
action is carried out by placing the Human Rights flag (Predrag Stakić
design, 2010, or Ai Weiwei design, 2018) in a position of priority for
a civic, or political event.
A reading of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and community discussions on Human Rights can augment the event. The
actions and public installations with the Human Rights Flag positioned
over a single national flag provide a platform for public discussion on
the government's leadership concerning Human Rights issues. 
The
actions and installations incorporating many or all national flags
demonstrate the breadth of Humanity beyond borders, focused on the
value, dignity, and quality of human life worldwide.
The goal of the Humanity First Project is to foster and solidify the concept of governments at the service of their people.
If
we consider the fundamental purpose of government is to represent,
serve, protect, and promote the quality of life for its citizens, it is
clear that Human Rights should be THE most important PRIORITY in civic
action and government legislation.
The implementation of the Humanity First Project champions the basic democratic ideology of governments of the people, by the people, for the people.
