I started this group years ago and have been absent on many levels over the last few years; thanks to those who continue to share Good News with DU, in that group or elsewhere.
I HAVE A SPECIFIC THOUGHT/REQUEST:
Will you join me in sharing stories/projects/orgs that are implementing ideas which are transformative on a large scale? Stories which hint at ways to affect SYSTEMIC CHANGE.
We always need the stories of an individual act of kindness to boost our hope in Humanity and, granted, these individual acts can indeed be transformative.
Yet I'm led to start gathering reports of things being done that can be implemented and are scaleable when the worst of this crisis is behind us.
My sense is that this is a crossroads for Humanity. How we move through this and who we are on the other side matters. There are some amazing efforts taking place to be of service in various ways. If we could gather those ideas to learn what different areas are doing for the Common Good, that would be so helpful in seeing the bigger picture and the possibilities for all of us.
Stay safe, stay well, stay hopeful.
Thanks!

(22,679 posts)WELCOME TO THE PINKSOCKS TRIBE!
Pinksocks Life, Inc. is a nonprofit organization focused on promoting human connection around the world by socially supporting other public charities. The pinksocks movement empowers people from all walks of life to connect with anyone, anywhere, by creating a global tribe of pinksocks-wearing people who are focused on empathy, caring, and love. The movement has been decommoditized from its beginning in 2015 all pinksocks are gifts. Every connection made between the gift giver and recipient is based on an authentic connection, not a transaction.
Were a community of over 100,000 happy smiley people who are united in changing the world from the ground up, with heart speak, hugs, and gifting. The pinksocks movement began in healthcare, and is now growing in all kinds of industries around the world! Were all about working together to activate solutions to help move us forward. Politics, bureaucracies, and legacy systems have unfortunately done the polar opposite of what each of us as humans want which is to be connected!
