Compassionate Citizens Foundation

Uniting "Silos of Compassion"

150+ million registered voters latently support the Campaign for a Citizen Cabinet at VOP.org.

We believe that educating and rallying 30 million of those supporters is critical mass to replace crony capitalism with a wiser democracy (which will expedite the path to a caring culture and economy).

Most of those 30 million are already identified with 3 movement hubs:

www.RevolutionaryLove.net (50+ orgs).

Catalyzing a culture of compassion

www.BridgeAlliance.us (80+ orgs).

Empowering a wiser democracy

www.NewEconomy.net (200+orgs).

Co-creating a caring economy.

We envision uniting those movements, with the help of 30,000 civic/faith leaders; 10,000 #CompassionateCitizens Meetups; and with signficant funding from Compassionate Realtors.

Our Mission

Empowering Dialogue Across Diversity

We support the Compassionate Communities campaign at www.CharterForCompassion.org by engaging #CompassionateCitizens (Meetup members) in respectful dialogue across diversity, in order to:

Reduce suffering (e.g.Hunger, Homelessness, Hopelessness, and Hate).
Unleash the unique assets and gifts of citizens, to co-create their communities.
Collaborate with local leaders in business, government and nonprofits.
Politically empower citizens by educating them about deliberative democracy, where representatives at all levels of government are accountable to the collective wisdom and compassion of their constituents.
Economically empower citizens by educating them about the Triple Bottom Line, where consumers, workers and investors put People and Planet over Profits.

We have created a pilot Meetup group, #CompassionateCitizens Fox Valley, to serve as a template for #CompassionateCitizens Meetups across the country. Meetups engage members in dialogue-across-diversity to co-create compassionate communities that work for all. See https://www.meetup.com/Compassionate-Citizens-Fox-Valley/

To fund the #CompassionateCitizens movement, www.Connection-Realty will pair #CompassionateCitizens who are buying or selling a home with Compassionate Realtors who generously support our work, and the work of our mission aligned partners.

Get Involved

We are partnering with organizations and recruiting volunteer civic and faith leaders across Chicagoland to join us in building the movement. By uniting across diversity in Chicagoland, we will help create communities that work for all.

If you are in Chicagoland, join our pilot Meetup and talk to us about other ways to make a difference.

If you are outside Chicagoland, we encourage you to form a #CompassionateCitizens Meetup in your area.

If you are buying or selling home anywhere in the U.S., go to Connection-Realty.com to find a Compassionate Realtor who supports the movement.
