Let’s work together to shift course from disastrous climate change, ecological destruction, and the threat of nuclear war
… and instead create a compassionate, ecologically sustainable world
We think the most influential level of change is to affect people’s mindsets – helping folks grasp the reality of current trends, and mobilizing public will to change course.
Few of us individually have the necessary reach. So we hope you will join with us in communicating to affect public thinking at scale. Your organization can contribute to this while still passionately pursuing your primary mission.
If society at large embraces the necessity of acting now in creating a compassionate ecologically sustainable world, we expect that there will be two outcomes:
Responsible leaders will have support for making the tough decisions necessary to protect our life support systems.
Practical on-the-ground initiatives – of which there are millions – will gain much more energy and resources.
Surely you would like to see both of these outcomes? Please work with us!
