Dear Friends and Allies of Compassion, The world is stirring. Every now and then an event occurs that shocks us, and with it appears an opening for something new to emerge. Right now, we are at such a moment. The 3.7 million people who marched in the streets of France - who locked arms with our world’s leaders - are what French officials are saying was the largest street demonstration in the country's history.

As part of Compassionate Seattle's plan to create “collective impact” we put together a physical “stand for compassion” that was on display at Seattle Center.

After Seattle affirmed the Charter for Compassion and invited other cities around the world to join with us in creating 10 Year Campaigns for Compassionate Cities, Louisville was one of the first and by far the most developed cities campaign we encountered.
