California Chapter of The Zeitgeist Movement

Welcome to the official state chapter page for The Zeitgeist Movement

The term “Zeitgeist” can be defined as: The intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of an era. The term "movement" implies motion or change. The Zeitgeist Movement is thus a social aim that urges change in the intellectual, moral and cultural climate of the time. Specifically, to values and practices that would better serve the well-being of the whole of humanity, regardless of race, religion, title or other forms of contrived social status.

TZM advocates a system that utilizes existing resources rather than commerce. In which all goods and services are available without the use of currency, credit, barter or any form of debt or servitude. The aim of this new social design is, in part, to free humanity from the repetitive, mundane and arbitrary occupational roles which hold no true relevance for social development, while encouraging a new incentive system that is focused on self-fulfillment, education, social awareness and creativity.

If this is your first time to ZMCA we highly recommend viewing the documentary Zeitgeist Addendum and the Orientation Video to gain a relevant understanding of these ideas.

Tickets for the Main Event in Vancouver

As one of the most pivotal awareness actions we conduct, ZDAY has historically been a great public awareness success with an average of 350 events occurring across 60 countries each year since 2009. Each year, one location is set for a central focus and this event tends to be the largest and most noted in the Media. Free Live Webcasts occurring as well.

Students Seek Social Revolution

A group of High School students self-formed a Zeitgeist Movement Club at the El Camino Real Charter High School after seeing Zeitgeist Addendum and Moving Forward. They found the LA Chapter through ZMCA. They are now active with getting announcements out to the school's "morning address" for the entire school regarding our information. This article was published in their local school paper, The King's Courier, on November 30th, 2011 as a result of their efforts to bring this information to the student body.

Peter Joseph on Russia Today | Money, Debt, & RBE

Wednesday, 07 December 2011 10:45 |

Written by CA Coordinator

From RT.com: "...with all of the problems in the world today, how do people begin to think about, let alone implement solutions that can improve their lives and those of others in society? Economists like Steve Keen support debt jubilees, others like Lew Rockwell and Ron Paul support sound money as the solution, but what about something more radical? What about getting grid of money, profit and competition all together? Well, Peter Joseph, author of the Zeitgeist series, believes that society can evolve to do just that. He joins us during the show to talk about the role of debt, the monetary system, and social norms that encourage what he views as inefficient and destructive behavior that does more harm for society than good."

science-and-money

I have science-related debates with fellow Zeitgeist supporters on a regular basis. Many of us are avid and knowledgeable advocates of science, as it should be. However, when you mix science and counter-culture activism working against the establishment, there almost necessarily will be a demographic of science denialists floating around as well. Sadly, this is an embarrassing self-contradiction for the Zeitgeist Movement as we promote science above everything else as the way to align ourselves with the natural world, so let's try to nip these individuals in the bud through our favorite form of social persuasion: education.
