Why I support the Compassion Coalition
I joined the GCC because I truly believe what the GCC espouses, which is that humans are wired for compassion and when that potential is cultivated and celebrated, amazing things happen. The GCC community brings together millions of people from across our planet to call and work for a world based on compassion and justice while acknowledging that inequity and injustice are systemic, deep-rooted and long-standing, and working to address these problems at their root.
