**AIP-21: Supporting statements for the mission**

**1. Summary**

AIP-18 made peace AssangeDAO’s mission. This proposal adds a vision, a set of values, and a short test for whether a piece of work fits the mission, so that holders, signers and applicants read the mission the same way.

**2. Motivation**

A mission says what the DAO is for. It does not say how to judge a proposal or a request for funds when the case is unclear. Most DAOs publish a few supporting statements for this. AssangeDAO’s earlier drafts of these (t/285) were never voted on.

**3. Proposal Details**

**Vision**

A world in which truth reduces the power of lies to start wars, and no one who speaks for peace has to stand alone.

**Values**

- Neutrality: we neither support nor oppose any political party, government, or candidate.
- Solidarity: the worldwide network that helped win Julian Assange his freedom is our model.
- Truth as the method: we pursue peace by making facts public and checkable.
- Open coordination: cryptography and public process, not closed deals.
- Accountability: every treasury action is posted in full before it is signed, so any holder can check it, unless an AIP provides otherwise.
- Dignity: we don’t use war or suffering to promote the DAO or the token.

**The mission test**

A proposal, project or grant fits the mission when the answer to all four questions is yes:

1. Does it help resolve conflict or build understanding, or support people who speak up for peace?
2. Does it respect the neutrality principle?
3. Can the people receiving support lawfully accept it?
4. Will they report back publicly on what was done?

These statements are published alongside the mission on the DAO’s website. They can be amended by a later AIP. This vote authorizes no treasury spending.

**4. Voting Options**

A. For

B. Against

C. Abstain

**5. Implementation**

Uploaded to Snapshot on 2 November 2026. Voting opens 24 hours after upload and lasts 48 hours. $JUSTICE-weighted. If it passes, the statements are published with the mission.

Thanks, zylo. I checked the Snapshot proposal against the final text in t/1105: the wording is the same. The vote opens on 4 November at 04:08 UTC and closes on 6 November at 04:08 UTC.

One note for voters: Snapshot is set to approval voting for the whole space, so please tick only one option, For, Against or Abstain.

Will AIP-22 (Perpetual Fund grants, [[Proposal] AIP-22: Perpetual Fund grants, paid in $JUSTICE | AIP-22 提案：永续基金资助规则，以 $JUSTICE 发放](https://forum.assangedao.org/t/1109)) go up as well? The final text is in t/1105 #12. If it’s uploaded today, the two votes will close at about the same time.

The Chinese text of AIP-21 is in t/1105 #7: [Next steps immediately after the mission is decided (Vision, Values, Goals) - #7 by innocent](https://forum.assangedao.org/t/1105/7)

谢谢 zylo。我把 Snapshot 上的提案和 t/1105 中的最终文本核对过了，措辞一致。投票于 11 月 4 日 04:08 UTC（北京时间 12:08）开始，11 月 6 日 04:08 UTC（北京时间 12:08）结束。

提醒各位投票人：整个 Snapshot 空间设置为认可投票，请只勾选一个选项：赞成、反对或弃权。

AIP-22（永续基金资助规则，[[Proposal] AIP-22: Perpetual Fund grants, paid in $JUSTICE | AIP-22 提案：永续基金资助规则，以 $JUSTICE 发放](https://forum.assangedao.org/t/1109)）也会上传吗？最终文本在 t/1105 #12。如果今天上传，两场投票会在差不多的时间结束。

AIP-21 的中文全文见 t/1105 #7：[Next steps immediately after the mission is decided (Vision, Values, Goals) - #7 by innocent](https://forum.assangedao.org/t/1105/7)
