  First Things First Manifesto 2000
An updated version of a 1964 declaration, FTF 2000 states that too much design energy is being spent to promote pointless consumerism, and too little to helping people understand an increasingly complex and fragile world.
The manifesto is being debated everywhere in design schools, and Ken Garland, who wrote the original, reports that even if he doesn’t bring it up, as a visiting lecturer, the students invariably do.
Today, we renew their manifesto in expectation that no more decades will pass before it is taken to heart.

The First Things First manifesto was written 29 November 1963 and published in 1964 by Ken Garland.
Drawing on ideas shared by Critical Theory, the Frankfurt School and the counter-culture of the time it explicitly re-affirmed the belief that Design is not a neutral value-free process.
It was later updated and republished with a new group of signatories under the First things first 2000 Manifesto.

 An Evolutionary Manifesto
Chromosome structure and evolution One of the first to recognize the evolutionary significance of chromosome structure was the geneticist Richard B. Goldschmidt.
The first of these are the chromosomes, the second are the centromeres and the third are the centrioles, the structures at the ends of the spindles on which the chromosomes move.
The first is the random segregation of maternal and paternal dyads (sister strands) that has taken place as a result of the first meiotic division.

 creativepro.com - dot-font: Design Critic Rick Poynor's Vices & Virtues
He presented his audience, which looked to be mostly young designers, with a sort of "manifesto" (he made the quotes audible) about graphic design, consisting largely of paired lists of "six vices" and "six virtues." It was a call to responsibility and intelligence, and against the complacency of uncritical thinking.
Both the original and the renewed version (33 signers in 2000) are clear attacks on commercialism, urging graphic designers to put usefulness and concern for the public weal ahead of their pocketbooks -- or at least to avoid confusing the two.
We could use some clear-eyed discrimination of one thing from another -- both when there seemed to be an unending wave of esteem and money that graphic designers could ride forever, and now when the wave has crashed and everyone is trying to turn life rafts into surfboards and escape the wreckage.

At first the temptation is strong to dump it straight in the waste basket; crackpots are a dime a dozen.
The challenge is to first understand and then design, build and foster healthy reputation systems — to systematically benefit from the experience of others, and avoid stumbling through endless trial–and–error cycles.
Indeed, in Zhang (2001) we suggest that the first part of the Internet Age was about people connecting computers, while the second (still just beginning) is about computers connecting people — and the ever more powerful computing resources pouring into society can be productively harnessed toward matching people together to their mutual benefit.

A student’s encounter with hubristics often begins in his first composition course, Hubristics 101 if you will, where he or she may be taught that clear communication has less importance than authentic self—expression and ideologically approved thought.
The remarkable thing about the new guide is that it is endorsed by a very broad array of organizations, ranging from the National Association of Evangelicals to the National Education Association.
The new manifesto urges humanity to "leave behind the magical thinking and myth—making that are substitutes for tested knowledge of nature," notes that religions "have their origins in pre—urban nomadic and agricultural societies of the past" and are irrelevant to the "postindustrial global information culture that is emerging," and calls for a World Parliament.

This original “First Things First” manifesto was written in 1964.
Poynor notes that he thinks the main point of the manifesto is that it “asks designers to consider where they stand in this system, and if they don’t like what they see, to take responsibility for their own part in this process and adjust their opinion.” Does that match your read of the 2000 manifesto?

For Garland and the other concerned signatories of First Things First, design was in danger of forgetting its responsibility to struggle for a better life for all.
In its wording, the manifesto did not acknowledge the extent to which this might, in reality, be a political issue, and Garland himself made a point of explaining that the underlying political and economic system was not being called into question.
