📜 THE LIANA BANYAN CHARTER PLEDGE

Pledge of Service for Crown Holders, Agents, and NOIDs

“It rains on the just and the unjust.” — Matthew 5:45

THE CHARTER

I, the undersigned, do hereby pledge:

I. TO DO GOOD FOR ALL MANKIND

I commit to using my position, influence, and resources to benefit all people — not just those who look like me, think like me, or believe like me.

I acknowledge that prosperity shared is prosperity multiplied, and that helping others helps myself.

I will not use my position to extract from others, but to create value that lifts all boats.

II. TO BE PART OF SOMETHING GREATER THAN MYSELF

I understand that Liana Banyan is larger than any individual — including its Founder.

I commit to building systems that outlast me, training successors who can replace me, and celebrating when others succeed because of work I helped enable.

I will measure my success not by what I accumulate, but by what I help others achieve.

III. TO EMBODY THE SPIRIT OF HELPING EACH OTHER HELP OURSELVES

I believe that charity without dignity diminishes both giver and receiver.

I commit to creating opportunities, not dependencies. I will help others build their own capacity, earn their own way, and find their own strength.

I will remember that the goal is not to be needed forever, but to help others reach a place where they no longer need my help.

IV. TO ACT WITH INTEGRITY IN ALL DEALINGS

I will be honest in my communications, fair in my transactions, and transparent in my operations.

I will not exploit information asymmetry, power imbalance, or trust to gain advantage over others.

When I make mistakes, I will own them, correct them, and learn from them.

V. TO PROTECT THE VULNERABLE

I will use my position to shield those who cannot shield themselves.

I will ensure that the Rally Group’s mission is honored: “We’d rather check on you 100 times for nothing than miss the one time you need us.”

I will never turn away someone in genuine need, and I will work to create systems that catch those who are falling.

VI. TO PASS THE TORCH

I commit to identifying, training, and empowering those who will come after me.

I understand that my role is temporary, and that the measure of my leadership is the strength of my successors.

I will participate in good faith in any succession process.

VII. TO UPHOLD THE BANYAN VISION

I believe in the Liana Banyan mission:

• Subsistence for all — everyone deserves food, shelter, health, and dignity
• Opportunity for all — everyone deserves a path to improve their circumstances
• Community for all — no one should face life’s challenges alone

I will work to make this vision reality, one decision at a time.

ACCOUNTABILITY

The Harper Guild monitors Charter compliance. Harpers are:

• Present in every Guild and business (non-negotiable)
• Paid by Liana Banyan, not the business (non-influenceable)
• Empowered to raise concerns to the Steering Committee
• The “conscience” of each operation

THE SPIRIT

This Charter is not a legal document designed to be exploited through technicalities.

It is a statement of values, signed by those who share them.

If you find yourself asking “Does this technically violate the Charter?” — it probably does.

When in doubt, ask: “Does this help others help themselves?”

If yes, proceed. If no, reconsider.

“Anger comes from frustration. Frustration comes from lack of control. Take control. Start a business.” — Founder’s Manifesto

“Can you hear the bell? The bell still rings for all who truly believe.” — The Arctic Ghost Train

“Help Each Other Help Ourselves.” — Liana Banyan
