Good People Doing Good
The world is not doomed: the world can feel hope. Good people are coming together to do good things.
Locally, in neighborhoods everywhere, small groups of grassroots activists are finding each other, joining together, and forming a new network of people who care, people who act. They realize: "We are not alone!"
Worldwide, major figures are leading ambitious efforts to mobilize the energy, creativity, and resources to make a global difference. They include social entrepreneurs, former presidents, and accomplished organizers.
The work of these organizations is global and cuts across all twelve "Progressive Choices." They give us optimism, hope, and doorways to coordinated worldwide action.
