In a world increasingly defined by dependency on public systems, many feel trapped. We often lean on these systems, which can limit our freedom and reduce our ability to make independent choices. This reliance can create a sense of helplessness. We may wonder how much of our lives are genuinely in our control.
A promising remedy is the establishment of a Private Member Association (PMA). A PMA is a collective of individuals who choose to operate outside statutory law, creating a space where they can connect based on shared values, mutual aid, and privacy. This model encourages a return to self-governance, giving power back to the people.
Zoom calls are for members and invited guests.

What is a PMA?
A PMA is more than just a lawful framework; it represents a community of people deciding to come together based on mutual respect and agreed-upon principles. For instance, a wellness cooperative might form a PMA where members share wellness resources, provide workshops, and exchange support without interference from government regulations.
This setup creates a protected environment for collaboration, allowing individuals to engage freely in activities that reflect their values and interests. The PMA members function autonomously, governing themselves according to their agreed-upon rules.
The Peaceful Nature of PMAs
Members of PMAs engage in constructive, lawful activities that indeed enhance learning, well being, and community interdependance. For example, members may coordinate a community garden project that not only cultivates food but also teaches restorative practices. This initiative embodies the PMA philosophy, which emphasizes self-reliance and the capacity for individuals to make decisions that are beneficial to themselves and their communities.
By cultivating an atmosphere of trust and cooperation, PMAs empower their members. This empowerment enables individuals to take control of their life choices, preserving their rights and enriching their personal and communal experiences.
Benefits of a PMA
The advantages of forming a PMA are substantial. First, it facilitates self-governance, crucial for personal and community empowerment. A PMA can strengthen bonds among its members, fostering relationships built on mutual understanding. In fact, studies indicate that communities with strong social ties can reduce crime by up to 25%, suggesting that trust and collaboration can directly improve communal living.
Moreover, PMAs can act as a basis for community trusts. These trusts can manage assets on behalf of the community, ensuring that both individual rights and collective ownership are respected. For example, a PMA could organize to purchase common land, where members can gather, share resources, or run programs that benefit everyone, thus moving away from reliance on public services.
A Call to Action
I urge you to explore the potential of a PMA as a first step toward embracing self-governance. By connecting with like-minded individuals, we can cultivate a supportive environment conducive to personal growth and community strength.
The path to self-determination and freedom starts with us. Together, let's adopt the principles of a PMA and work towards a future where we, the people, can flourish in harmony and autonomy.
In summary, PMAs provide a unique chance for individuals to reclaim their rights and freedoms. By organizing in this private space, we can foster a culture of lawful self-organization that honors our natural rights. Together, we can champion community empowerment and resilience, setting the stage for a brighter future.
