We have only just begun

In 2016, ECAN published a searchable directory of organizations engaged in peace and justice efforts, and  from 2018 to 2020 experimented with developing a platform to enhance networking capabilities. 

ECAN initially concentrated on faith communities and their impact on homelessness. ECAN invites other industries—business corporations, non-profits, citizen volunteers, natural environment, and law—to examine solutions for a more compassionate world.
