We wish to
thank our readership, especially those of who have taken the time to send in numerous messages. Victorious America is an advocacy
forum. It is solely dedicated to a workable plan of action to revise
the SGI
organizational structure from within into a system based on
democratic ideals where the leaders are accountable to the people as
outlined in Victorious America. If
you have encountered abuses or unjust treatment through the actions of the
leadership and your attempts to protest have been suppressed and covered up,
causing excessive anguish to you, then your
experiences are what we are calling for. Courageous members who
love the SGI enough to speak out and
expose the injustices to the members that are corrupting our organization, can help by writing your experience for
this Page of
Courage. Many members, from general members to top level
leaders have written to us in secrecy and confidence. Of course we
respect this confidence, and will not betray it, but we urge you not to be afraid to speak out,
because the Gohonzon is absolute. Don't be afraid, trust the
Gohonzon.
Opening up and exposing the injustices of this present outmoded
top-down system will not make you a traitor, it will help to make the change
you so deeply desire, until we realize the dream, "the miracle of the SGI"
as one member has put it.
Have you had a personal experience
in a situation
involving any individual or leaders, whether on a local or
higher level where you felt you were treated unjustly? If after going through the
proper channels, your issues were met with denials, you felt that
you were suppressed and your concerns were dismissed or you were
asked to back off? If you have been denounced as being
negative or breaking unity for pursuing your concerns for a fair
resolution, please
have the courage to submit your experience so that others may come
forward as well and we can make the necessary changes in the present
organizational structure. Your story will be the catalyst for
change.
This is true Buddhist
compassion. Do you have plans to start a grassroots committee such as the People's
Representatives Committee, so you can hold your leaders accountable if
necessary? Do you feel
that if such a grassroots committee was in place in your Area, the
outcome might have been different in your situation? Please submit your experience and fill out all the fields
below. Or
you may email your experience directly to the webmaster
at the email address below. We
do not accept attachments. Please send your email submission in the body of
