Empathy Surplus is headquartered in Wilmington, Ohio. Wilmington has a Sister City relationship with Merefa, Kharkiv. Ohio has a Sister State relationship with Kharkiv. Kharkiv is 35 miles from the Russian front. Our contact in Ukraine is Dmytro Mykysha, who says monthly donations of any size save lives. Currently, your donations are being used to buy radar jammers for ambulances to keep the Russians from targeting wounded civilians. Please give what you can because you care.

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.

Pro-Empathy Pledge to the People of the World

(Recited while holding a neighbor's hand. People from other countries may insert the name of their country.)

I pledge my care to the people of the world

and to my neighbors in the United States of America

and to our human rights, which I defend and promote,

one world governed with empathy and responsibility,

with liberty and justice for all.

Empathy Surplus Network USA is a 501(c)(3). Our mission is to support our members and volunteers in applying George Lakoff's science-based communication framework to frame and reframe ongoing public discourse around empathy, thereby uniting siloed human rights advocates and elected officials. Donations are exempt from federal income taxation under section 501(a) and described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
