Liberty Moon™ is an online community mental health education platform dedicated to helping people recover from trauma, cultivate resilience, and connect with supportive resources. Its mission centers on hope, community, and healthy living through peer education and creative engagement. 

From this foundation — and informed by the values Liberty Moon promotes — may emerge related civic efforts focused on political engagement and governance reform. These efforts, including the Lycan Coalition, are envisioned as affiliated but independent entities with their own structures and governance, and they draw inspiration from Liberty Moon’s core emphasis on dignity, pluralism, and wellness.

Liberty Moon itself remains a mental health peer education community and is not a political party. The coalition is distinct but philosophically rooted in the values of support, inclusion, and realistic stewardship that Liberty Moon advocates.

The Lycan Coalition is a voluntary, cross-party civic coalition grounded in environmental stewardship, pluralism, mental-health dignity, and pragmatic governance. It operates as a non-party civic association and does not seek ballot status or function as a political party.

​

​

Liberty Moon is the civic philosophy and movement; The Lycan Coalition is the political coalition that applies those values in practice.

 LIBERTY MOON

A Center wing Green Pluralist & Realist Civic Philosophy and Movement

Mental Health Principle

Liberty Moon holds that mental health is a civic foundation: people cannot fully exercise freedom, responsibility, or dignity without access to understanding, support, and care. A pluralist society must treat mental health with the same seriousness as physical health, reducing stigma while protecting individual rights and privacy. Strong communities are built when care is available, humane, and grounded in reality.

Core Liberty Moon statement (integrated)

Liberty Moon is a Center Wing Green Pluralist & Realist civic philosophy and movement grounded in environmental responsibility, pluralism, and human dignity. It affirms that people live differently—in families, cultures, beliefs, identities, and needs—and that coexistence requires dignity without coercion. It approaches governance realistically, recognizing the need for functional institutions, responsible stewardship, and national defense in a complex world. It is anchored in the belief that protecting the planet, protecting mental health, and protecting human dignity are not competing goals—and that idealism must survive contact with reality.

 Personal Civic Statement (Unenrolled)

Mental Health commitment (personal layer)

“As an unenrolled voter, I believe mental health supports should be treated as essential community infrastructure—through education, stigma reduction, and practical access to resources—so people can live stable, dignified lives and participate in society.” - Wolf Mores

I am an unenrolled voter committed to environmental responsibility, pluralism, mental health dignity, and human rights, paired with a practical, realist view of family, government, and national defense. I align with coalition-based politics rather than party absolutism and support solutions that strengthen families and communities while respecting individual difference.

 THE LYCAN COALITION  

Green Pluralist & Realist Political Coalition & Platform

The Lycan Coalition (Green Pluralist & Realist)

The Lycan Coalition is a pluralist, environmentally grounded, realist alliance for dignity, stability, and stewardship—bringing together people with different political histories who share a commitment to strong communities, functional institutions, and practical solutions in a complex world.

The Lycan Coalition: Strength, Stewardship, and Shared Dignity

The Lycan Coalition is a voluntary political coalition, not a political party.

Mental Health Supports (platform plank)

• Mental health education for everyone, including practical literacy about stress, trauma, neurodiversity, and crisis warning signs

• Accessible mental health resources made available to all communities (including low-barrier options, community-based supports, and crisis services)

• Stigma reduction and protections for privacy, dignity, and civil rights

• A focus on prevention and stability, not just emergency response

Principle: Mental health is public health—and community stability depends on it.

The Lycan Coalition:

•  Environment & Stewardship

•  Family & Social Life

•  Human Dignity & Pluralism

•  Government & Institutions

•  Economy & Power

•  National Defense & Foreign Policy

•  Democracy & Civic Life

 Environment & Stewardship

• Environmental protection is a core responsibility, not a culture-war issue

• Strong conservation of land, water, and air

• Climate action grounded in science, resilience, and long-term stability

• Hold large polluters accountable without hollow symbolic policies

• Balance environmental goals with economic and community realities

Stewardship, not exploitation. Responsibility, not denial.

 Family & Social Life

• Families come in different forms, all deserving dignity and stability

• Family strength is measured by care, responsibility, and continuity, not one structure

• Support parental responsibility and community involvement

• Resist rigid cultural mandates from either the state or ideology

Strong families matter — and strong families don’t all look the same.

 Human Dignity & Pluralism

• Human dignity is non-negotiable, regardless of identity

• LGBTQ+ people are part of the social fabric, not a political problem

• Pluralism over culture war: coexistence without coercion

• Protect civil rights while respecting freedom of conscience

Live-and-let-live, with mutual respect and real protections.

 Government & Institutions

• Government should be capable, accountable, and limited — but effective

• Skeptical of bloated bureaucracy and unchecked corporate power

• Prefer local solutions where possible; federal action where necessary

• Reform institutions rather than dismantling them

Neither blind faith nor blanket rejection — governance requires judgment.

 Economy & Power

• Markets are tools, not moral authorities

• Oppose excessive concentration of corporate power

• Support fair competition, worker dignity, and community stability

• Economic policy should strengthen families and local communities

Prosperity should be shared, not extracted.

 National Defense & Foreign Policy

• National defense is necessary in a dangerous world

• Reject both endless war and naïve pacifism

• Support strong deterrence, alliances, and diplomacy

• Use force only when clearly justified and strategically sound

Peace requires realism, not wishful thinking.

 Democracy & Civic Life

• Protect democratic institutions and the rule of law

• Encourage civic participation without tribalism

• Support election integrity and voter access

• Coalition-building over purity tests

Democracy works best when it includes disagreement without dehumanization.

Liberty Moon treats mental health as a civic foundation; I prioritize it personally as an unenrolled voter; and The Lycan Coalition makes it a concrete, universal support plank.

1. Identity & Purpose

The Lycan Coalition is a voluntary, pluralist civic coalition grounded in environmental stewardship, mental-health dignity, human rights, and realist governance.

It exists to:

• Build alignment across political differences

• Advance environmental responsibility without ideological coercion

• Treat mental health as a civic foundation

• Endorse or recommend candidates based on shared minimum commitments

• Strengthen democratic stability through pluralism, realism, and care

The Lycan Coalition is not a political party.

It does not appear on ballots, hold primaries, nominate candidates, or replace party structures.

This charter is a governance and safety framework for a non-party civic association, permanently.

2. Scope & Participation

2.A Who May Participate

Participation is open to:

• Individuals of any political party or none

• Unenrolled voters (independents)

• Individuals using a political designation where permitted

• Participants from any U.S. state or territory

There are no dues, no loyalty oaths, and no exclusivity requirements.

2.B Levels of Participation

Participants may engage as:

• Supporters

• Volunteers

• Advisors

• Endorsed or recommended candidates

• Coordinators

Participation is voluntary, non-binding, and revocable at any time.

3. Core Commitments (Minimum Standards)

3.1 Environmental Stewardship

Environmental protection is a civic responsibility grounded in science, resilience, and real-world constraints.

3.2 Mental Health as a Civic Foundation

Mental health education, stigma reduction, and access to dignified, rights-respecting supports are essential to community stability and democratic participation.

3.3 Pluralism & Human Dignity

Human dignity is non-negotiable. People live differently in identity, belief, and family structure, and governance must respect that diversity.

3.4 Functional, Accountable Governance

Institutions should be effective, reformable, and accountable—neither sabotaged nor blindly trusted.

3.5 Realist Public Safety & National Defense

Security requires realism, deterrence, and restraint—rejecting both reckless militarism and naïve pacifism.

4. Explicit Safeguards & Non-Negotiable Principles

These principles are binding, foundational, and non-waivable.

4.1 No Purity Tests

No participant or candidate is required to agree on all issues. Disagreement is expected and respected.

4.2 No Ideology Enforcement

No doctrine, dogma, loyalty oath, or ideological conformity is enforced. Alignment never means control.

4.3 Mental Health Is Explicitly Foundational

Mental health is treated as core civic infrastructure, embedded in endorsements, governance, and organizing practices. Coercive or shaming tactics are prohibited.

4.4 Safe for Candidates From Any Party (or None)

The Coalition is explicitly cross-party. Endorsement never requires party switching and never implies opposition to a candidate’s party.

4.5 Non-Retaliation & Freedom to Disengage

No penalties for disagreement, dissent, withdrawal, or changing affiliations. Psychological safety is a governance requirement.

4.6 Interpretation Rule

In any ambiguity, interpretations must favor pluralism, mental-health dignity, non-coercion, and participant autonomy.

5. Rules & Boundaries

5.A What the Coalition May Do

• Endorse or recommend candidates across parties or none

• Publish voter guides and issue statements

• Educate the public and host civic discussions

• Operate nationally as a civic coalition

• Build voluntary civic networks and mutual aid compatible with law

5.B What the Coalition May Not Do

• Register voters into a political party

• Appear on ballots as a party line

• Hold primaries or formally nominate candidates

• Claim legal party status

• Coordinate campaign spending with candidates

• Present endorsements as nominations

6. Political Designation (Unenrolled Voters)

6.A Definition & Legal Meaning

Where permitted by law (including Massachusetts), a voter who is not enrolled in a political party may request a political designation in their voter record.

A political designation:

• Is not party enrollment

• Does not create a political party

• Does not grant ballot status

• Exists only as an individual voter-record identifier

Stacking rule (important):

Political designation cannot be combined with party enrollment.

If “The Lycan Coalition” is used as a designation, the voter is legally treated as unenrolled.

6.B Meaning & Non-Exclusivity

Use of the designation signifies coalition-based alignment with:

• Environmental responsibility

• Mental-health dignity

• Pluralism

• Practical governance

It does not:

• Direct voting behavior

• Create obligations

• Require exclusivity

• Limit a voter’s right to change or remove the designation

7. Decision-Making Process

7.A Decision Philosophy

A pluralist, deliberative model:

• Consensus preferred

• Disagreement expected

• Minority views documented when relevant

• Fairness and transparency outweigh speed

7.B Types of Decisions

7.B.1 Administrative Decisions

Handled by Coordinators for logistics, scheduling, publication, moderation, and operations.

7.B.2 Endorsements & Recommendations

Reviewed against Core Commitments and Safeguards. Outcomes may be:

• Endorsed (strong alignment)

• Recommended (partial alignment; coalition supportive)

• Not Endorsed (insufficient alignment; no condemnation implied)

Coalition statements must avoid dehumanization and avoid framing dissent as betrayal.

7.B.3 Charter or Process Updates

Public draft → feedback → consensus or supermajority approval.

Safeguards in Section 4 must be preserved.

8. Governance & Roles

8.A Coordinators

Facilitate process and communication; they are not party leaders and hold no party authority.

8.B Advisors

Provide expertise without governing authority. Advisors cannot override safeguards or participant autonomy.

9. Ethics, Mental Health & Care

The Coalition commits to:

• Non-coercive organizing

• Respect for mental-health boundaries

• Privacy and dignity protections

• Anti-harassment and anti-retaliation norms

• The right to disengage without penalty

10. Legal & Compliance Awareness

The Coalition:

• Remains a civic coalition, not a party

• Avoids regulated campaign-finance activity unless separately structured

• Does not coordinate expenditures with candidates

• Distinguishes endorsements from nominations

• Avoids presenting itself as a ballot-eligible entity

When in doubt, the Coalition defaults to:

• Transparency

• Non-coordination

• Clear disclaimers

• Compliance-first operations

11. Relationship to Other Entities

• Liberty Moon remains the independent philosophical foundation

• Any future “party” concept would be a separate legal entity and is outside this charter

• Participation in one entity does not require participation in others
