Please Volunteer as a 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.
The Empathy for Ukraine Fundraiser benefits the Kharkiv region of Ukraine, where Wilmington, Ohio’s Sister Cities are located. It depends on word-of-mouth fundraisers who can promote Ukrainian humanitarian aid. Your credit card statement will show EMPATHY SURPLUS. We will also pay individuals or their organizations half of our administration cost – 5% – to help us fundraise.
Former Wilmington Mayor Randy Riley established in 2013 the Ukraine Sister City relationship.

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 allegiance 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 501c3 local human rights empathy education community of practice that applies the latest brain insights of George Lakoff to moral and political discourse to protect human rights with the rule of law. To reverse our national empathy deficit, we invite you to join our culture diplomacy initiative to make empathy, the soul of democracy and ethical business, the center of public and private debate. Donations are exempt from federal income taxation under section 501(a) and described in section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code.
