Universal Symbol of Human Unity

In the year 2025, as humankind stands upon the precipice of interplanetary exploration, we affirm the necessity of unity on Earth as our species prepares to venture into the cosmos. We hereby declare the potato—the humble yet resilient tuber—as humanity’s universal emblem of unity.

Chosen for its unparalleled global reach, nourishing billions across continents and generations, the potato represents our shared history and collective survival. From the ancient Andes to modern metropolises, from famines to frontier expeditions, it has unified humanity in sustenance and spirit.

NASA and global research bodies have demonstrated its indispensable role in future off-world settlements, making the potato our lifeline beyond Earth. Thus, it symbolizes not merely agricultural abundance but the enduring resilience and adaptability of humankind.

Before humanity scatters across planets and galaxies, we must unite in common purpose and solidarity. This declaration, signed on Earth during the Pre-Interplanetary Era, invites every individual to partake in this once-in-a-civilization opportunity. Let us affirm our commitment to unity, ensuring our species' strength and coherence as we expand among the stars.

We invite you now to join in signing The Potato Declaration—an unprecedented act of unity, rooted on Earth and growing forever outward. This historic pledge symbolizes our shared commitment from Earth to the galaxies beyond.
