Human Rights
Empathy Public Education
Pro-Empathy Freedom Voters Are the Solution
They exercise their EI, empathy intelligence, Compliance to respect and promote protecting human rights with the rule of law.
Empathy is the soul of democracy, nurturing families, every major world religion, ethical businesses, and the rule of law that protects human rights. We currently have a national empathy deficit, where no state in the USA currently protects human rights with the rule of law. You’re invited to join our 501c3 membership-driven empathy intelligence education collective dedicated to protecting human rights with the rule of law.
What Is Empathy Intelligence Compliance?
Reframing IS social change. First and foremost, EI-compliant people and organizations are committed to making the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) core values – empathy for and responsibility to humanity – the center of constant public discourse.
The UDHR Preamble and Articles 1, 2, 29, and 30 say the most important thing that “every individual and every organ of society” can do to protect Human Rights Articles 3-28 with the rule of law is to keep UDHR empathy – the human rights moral WHY, “constantly in mind” and teach, educate, and “promote respect for these rights and freedoms by progressive measures.” Empathy Surplus Network USA members and stakeholders of both major political parties do this by framing their personal discourse, social media, mailers, posters, and billboards with empathy.
EI Compliance has four areas:
- EI “Trust” Compliance – Caring people and organizations build trust in the rule of human rights law through committed, honest, open, and repeated framing of every possible political issue with empathy for and responsibility to humanity.
- EI “Protection” Compliance – Caring people and organizations protect humanity from billionaires with an effective, democratic politics of care so that everyone can fulfill their full potential and be treated fairly, equitably, and with dignity.
- EI “Collaboration” Compliance – Caring people and organizations shape future generations of diverse nurturing family communities through service in partnerships that collaborate with a politics of care in both the private and public sectors.
- EI “Freedom” Compliance – Caring people and organizations create caring economies free from the fear of billionaires with sufficient prosperity and opportunities for all to survive our carbon pollution blanket and thrive.

Consider Joining the UN Global Compact
Reframing IS social change. Empathy Surplus Network USA has been a member of the UN Global Compact since 2014. We use the latest insights of the brain from cognitive scientist and linguist George Lakoff. Dr. Lakoff says you must repeatedly talk about what you want to get what you want. Limited-empathy billionaires are good at this. Democracy-loving progressives in both US political parties must get better at framing the protection and empowerment of human rights with the rule of law.

George Lakoff's Resources
The basic idea is this: Dr. Lakoff's resources are free and open to all. He will provide framing suggestions regularly over social media, and whoever receives them can decide how to use them, and whether to share them or retweet them. Dr. Lakoff's process is bottom-up.
Dr. Lakoff also offers this framing service to activist organizations, media folks, and elected officials and their staff.
