Choose Compassion
Throughout the month of November, 2025 we’re inviting individuals and organizations to bring compassion to life.
Below are tools, templates, and events that can help you bring this value to life.
💛 Why Compassion in Action?
Because compassion changes everything.
This November, together with our partners, we’re inviting individuals and organizations to bring compassion to life. Compassion is a conscious choice to care.
Our world changes when we lift one another up. Let’s co-create a ripple effect grounded in shared values and human connection.

💚 Featured Events
Compassion rarely stands alone.
The power of compassion is magnified when it's paired with values like:
Kindness. Empathy. Respect. Authenticity. Service. Gratitude.
Each one helps shape a culture where people feel seen, heard, and valued. These values anchor this project — and may already be part of your everyday actions.

🧡 Tools for the Compassion Journey
Keep compassion in motion.
Whether you're just beginning or have been living compassion for years, we encourage you to keep going. Reflect on what compassion looks like for you, how it shows up in your values, and where you can bring it next. Because every small act matters — and adds up to something greater.
