Vision, Mission and Theory of Change

We envision a world of smaller and truly democratic communities surrounded by nature. They are constituted of free and equal people, each person has a meaningful role in making the rules under which they live, and each was empowered by the conditions in which they were born and raised.

That is what true freedom and legitimate governance – for all – looks like. That vision reflects our most fundamental and objective values: Wellbeing, Equity, Nature, Democracy, and Improving Continuity. That vision can only be achieved by changing the way we plan families, and by constituting future generations around a Fair Start first principle, or grundnorm, of relative self-determination. We may liberate those in this vision, the free entities of the future, from the tyranny of prior generations by all means effective.

The Fair Start Movement is committed to transforming the way we think about freedom, equity, and sustainability—starting at birth. Our mission is to ensure every child is born into conditions that uphold their fundamental rights: equity of opportunity, environmental safety, and a voice in the systems that shape their lives. We advocate for policies that prioritize intergenerational justice, support caregivers, and confront the root causes of inequality and ecological harm. By centering children’s needs in law, policy, and culture, we work to build a just and sustainable future where every child has a fair start in life.
