The Seasteading Institute April 2013 Newsletter
 

Dear Friends of The Seasteading Institute,

In celebrating our five-year anniversary, we have been reflecting on the many milestones we have already achieved, and accelerating our efforts to enable the development of seasteads in the near future. Please join us in celebrating five years of seasteading by making a generous donation and entering our raffle before the end of the month.

I trust this newsletter update will reflect our renewed sense of commitment to empowering a dedicated community with the knowledge and connections necessary to venture out to the high seas. While Blueseed and other seasteading-related undertakings are edging closer to a move offshore, the Institute’s capacity for inspiring new audiences has never been stronger.

On Tuesday, April 16, our co-author on the seasteading book and I will be appearing on the Glenn Beck Program for a full episode centered around seasteading and free cities. Recently, Beck has been exploring concepts of alternative governance, with a specific set of ideals he envisions for a model municipality, Independence, USA. We are excited that Glenn has taken up the call for small experimental governance, and we plan to enlighten he and his viewers on the advantages of creating experimental cities at sea, rather than the Texas location he has chosen. To watch the program online, you can sign up for two weeks of trial access to The Blaze TV network, or buy a subscription.

Also of importance, we are seeking aspiring seasteaders with the financial capacity to own or lease a unit on a seastead for qualitative interviews. We are conducting research to determine what common denominator exists among the pioneers so we can design a seastead that will meet their needs. If you would like to live and/or operate a business on a seastead, and you are financially secure, please send an email to volunteers@seasteading.org.

In celebration of five years,

Randolph Hencken, Executive Director

P.S. We are grateful for all of our supporters who have donated already this month, but we can only achieve our of vision with the broad support of our community. Please join us and make a donation today, which automatically enters you into our raffle.
