Empathy for Ukraine Fundraiser
Empathy is the soul of democracy, nurturing families, ethical businesses, civil society organizations, and climate survival. But an empathy deficit funded by billionaires threatens our culture, especially in Ukraine and Ohio. Russian billionaire President Putin threatens a politics of care and climate survival everywhere in the world.
Wilmington Yearly Meeting of Friends
The Empathy for Ukraine Fundraiser benefits the Kharkiv region of Ukraine, where Wilmington, Ohio’s Sister Cities are located.

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.
