In addition to raising awareness about all aspects of social justice, this site is about increasing empathy, compassion, and generating “mega-love” for the human race and the planet. This is a space where people can feel free to come to learn, share what empowers and challenges them, make mistakes, listen to other’s points of view, and question ourselves and each other in a way that respects the dignity of every human being.
