A New Year. A New Resolution. A New Future.

As we welcome a new year, I’m asking the world to pause and reflect on one simple question:

What kind of future do we want to leave behind?

My New Year’s resolution is about change — real, democratic, peaceful change.

I believe the time has come to move beyond inherited power and privilege. I am calling on people across the globe to stand with me and support a future built on equality, accountability, and democracy.

That is why I have started a petition calling for an end to the British monarchy — including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and the rest of the Royal family — and the establishment of a democratic republic where no one is above the people.

This is not about hate.

This is about fairness.

This is about the right of every citizen to have an equal voice.

My New Year’s goal is bold: to reach 938 million people — not just to sign, but to share, to talk, and to spark a global conversation about modern democracy and accountability in the 21st century.

If you believe in a world where leadership is earned, not inherited…

If you believe silence changes nothing…

If you believe the future belongs to the people…

Then I ask you, this New Year, to stand with me.

Sign the petition.

Share it with your friends, your family, your communities.

Be part of history.

Change begins with one voice — and together, our voices can reach the world.

This is my New Year’s resolution.

What’s yours?
