I am in the midst of writing an article relating to think tanks and could use the help of the creative minds of Steemit for a brief moment. Almost all of the think tanks out there--even if they have seemingly benign titles-are for developing new ways to control, subvert and deceive the masses. As well as finding new ways to steal the little-remaining wealth of the poorest of us. My article is about starting a think tank for the people. One that is open to all, and where anyone with a great idea on how to prevent oppression or even affect change on the community level, can come together and share, create and build upon concepts for change. I will explain why I think this is so important in the article, so no need to touch on it too much right now.
Thanks to @firepower, a channel on steemit.chat is to be devoted to this think tank, but before it can be created, I must first come to a decision on the name. This group is going to be for anyone and everyone who has an idea that they would like to share, so the power of choosing a title should also belong to everyone.
Below are a few titles that I have came up with. Please comment below with whichever you think is most appropriate, and if you have another idea for a name then leave that below instead.
The People's Defense Initiative or The United People's Defense Initiative
The Power of the Peasants Initiative
Mind of the Masses
The Global Rejuvenation Project/Initiative
The Legacy Reclamation Commission (In regards to the reclaiming of our children's futures)
The People's Strategic Defense Collective
The Slave-no-more Initiative (I think this is good only because of its hashtag efficiency lol )
The Collective Minds Alliance
You can probably tell that I like the word initiative a little bit.. Lol. I'm open to any suggestions though, and hopefully this channel can be up and running by tomorrow so that I can post a link to it within my article.
Thanks in advance to anyone that helps-
I really like where you are headed with this idea. Just a quick thought on some of your titles. I don't think you should necessarily give the group of people you are representing a connotative name such as "peasants". I think something similar to the group "Anonymous" is what the idea is? A few titles I can think of off the top of my head, feel free to mix and match:

Yes, I see your point. Peasants does have a derogatory tone to it, although it was meant in a somewhat metaphorical sense. The power has always belonged to the masses/peasants. The monarchs, or in modern terms government, have only retained control through the illusion that they are the ones that possess the power.
Commoners is a much better word for what I was trying to convey though.

How about something that encompasses everything, but is simple?
'Us'
or
'Terra mind-meld'
'The Free Philosophers'
'The Feral Philosophers'
'Untamed Minds'

Lol. I'm about to go to sleep but, I'll check back tomorrow to see if you have offered any more suggestions. I'll choose the best one and get the channel created ahead of posting the main article tomorrow night. Thanks again for your help.
