“Perhaps they will truly become American and create a nobler basis for their myths.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates

Welcome to American For Humanity! We’re pleased you found us and invite you to join us in cultivating compassion and promoting justice. 

To increase broad understanding of key issues, we’d appreciate your using the form below or submitting a video to respond to the following questions:

• How do you serve humanity, the environment, and life itself?

• How do you counter self-centered domination and submission? 

• How do you engage in other-centered compassionate action?

• How do work on undoing your divisive, highly competitive social conditioning?

• How do work on learning to respect everyone’s equal value more fully?

• How do engage with others to support each other with these issues?

• How do support the growth of compassionate humanity communities whose members affirm and advance these values? 

If you’re willing to be interviewed on Zoom about these questions and have your responses recorded and posted, please let us know. We’ll post written responses and video links on Homepage Questions. 

This site offers suggestions for how people can work on these issues, but we don't have complete answers. We invite you to share your thoughts and engage in dialog concerning how to best move forward. We publish divergent opinions and aim to inspire without preaching.
