Upholding the Auroville we love

The Working Committee of the Residents' Assembly (RA-WCom) has stated in an open letter that it is exhausted and pained by the state of affairs in Auroville, with multiple cases in Indian courts and takeovers continuing. But the RA-WCom emphasized that the courts cannot build the Auroville of tomorrow. “This incredible Dream that we are all here to serve must be safeguarded and further manifested with our joint efforts, and our collective holding.” It called on all Aurovilians to help and document any wrongdoings, keep the RA working groups informed, initiate and sign petitions and statements, support working groups with their many tasks and responsibilities, help coordinate emergency responses, take part in conversations about building tomorrow’s Auroville, and support financially those who have been targeted with a maintenance or budget cut.
