Charter Women, Marianne Williamson, Ralph Nader, Michael Beckwith & YOU

Most of us remember exactly where we were and what we were doing when we heard the news of four coordinated terrorist attacks in the U.S. on the morning of September 11, 2001. It was a tragic day around the world as a new level of fear was instilled — fear that we’re all still trying to transcend.

That’s why we are excited to invite you to join us for 11 Days of Global Unity, where Sande Hart, director of the Charter’s Women and Girls sector will be speaking alongside many esteemed thought leaders and trailblazing agents for change — including Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Ralph Nader, Michael Beckwith, Steve Farrell, Nwamaka Agbo, Sande Hart, Robert Thurman, Tiffani Sharp and many more.

This deep and meaningful program was created after 9/11 by peace visionary Rick Ulfik, summit host and founder of We, The World and the WE Campaign.
There’s no better way to transcend darkness and fear than by highlighting the light and love-filled efforts that are working to bring more unity to our planet.

Discover insights and skills that can be applied to your daily life — in your family, friendships, business partnerships and service in the world — through 11 Campaigns for Change during this 11-Day event (September 11-21):

Compassion Games 2016SiVIC is participating in our second annual “Compassion Games: Survival of the Kindest Coopetition”  from September 11th to September 21st, the Days of Global Unity. We invite you to help us challenge and inspire our neighbors to make our community a safer, kinder, more just, and better place to live!

The Compassion Games calls all people from all sectors and all parts of our world to share the vision of justice and equality, and collaborate to create a more connected, caring community. Together as engaged citizens, we can strengthen what’s already working in our communities, and produce a collective impact that is greater than the work each of us, or any one of our organizations, can produce individually.

This year, SiVIC and Compassionate Silicon Valley are embarking on a campaign to have Santa Clara County and all Cities in the County (Silicon Valley) affirm and sign the Charter For Compassion and thereby earn the status of “Compassionate Silicon Valley”, joining many areas of the world who have affirmed the Charter and adopted compassionate policies.

We urge you to personally sign the Charter and the petition to your city/county officials, urging them to affirm and sign the Charter. The Petition form provides the details about the Charter. Please click on this petition link and fill the form which will be your electronic signature.

Check our Compassionate Silicon Valley page for more information on how you and your community can take part, and see the listing of opportunities to participate.
