Welcome to the Compassionate Humanity Community!
We encourage other-centered action as an alternative to the self-centered pursuit of wealth and power. We promote peace, justice, and democracy throughout society.
Toward this end, we encourage everyone to consider the following questions.
How can we:
Serve humanity, the environment, and life itself
Counter self-centered domination and submission
Promote democratic equality
Undo divisive, highly competitive social conditioning
Connect the dots and better understand our social system
Build broad, united movements that advance these principles?
OUR GOALS
By acting on answers to these questions, we can:
Cultivate justice and compassion
Assure everyone can meet their basic needs and participate fully in society
Oppose discrimination based on arbitrary traits like skin color
Strengthen unions, worker-controlled cooperatives, bottom-up hierarchies, and democratic equality
Organize peer-to-peer mutual support
Set aside the desire to exploit others for personal gain
Care for ourselves so we can better serve others
Build united, national movements that persuade their government to respect their people’s will and work with other nations to control global corporations
Build momentum with victories focused on winnable goals
Hold each other, elected officials, and organizations accountable to their commitments and highest ideals
Avoid scapegoating
Grow solidarity
Pursue win-win solutions — you benefit when others benefit
See how everything is connected
The System weaves together our institutions, our systems, our culture, and ourselves as individuals into a single self-perpetuating system that teaches people to climb social ladders, look down on, dominate, and exploit those below, and submit to those above
Individuals reinforce this System with their daily actions
The System dehumanizes everyone
No one controls the System
Change the System’s mission and all of its elements simultaneously
Advance holistic and systemic transformation
Based on our Mission and Principles, this site offers suggestions and resources for how people can connect and work together on these issues. We publish divergent perspectives and aim to inspire without preaching. We’re co-creators, collaborators, advocates, and practitioners. We’re both a center and a network for the flow of information, learning, and action.
Our membership comes from varied backgrounds and vocations. We advocate and promote egalitarian values and servant leadership. We engage in active listening, deep dialog, and peer-to-peer support to advance trust, courage, understanding, and holistic and systemic transformation.
We invite you to check out our resources, offer suggestions, give us feedback, and join us in developing this project by contributing your special gifts and experience. We’d like to discuss your interests and ways we might collaborate. If you have dreams, ideas, and thoughts for making our world a better place, please discuss them with us. Also, please consider reviewing and responding to our Core Questions.
Thank you for taking an interest in exploring these issues, the unique resources we offer, and the community and networks we’re promoting. If you’re interested in collaborating, please contact us.
