Call of Compassion NW

Call of Compassion NW is a resource for compassionate action
at the grassroots level in the Pacific Northwest.

We all know those who are oppressed or underserved in our midst: impacted by homelessness, racism, domestic abuse, addictions, gender bias, and the like, and we often are confronted by the question: "but what can I do?"

The reality is: It Begins With Us! When we engage the under-served in our neighborhoods and communities, the Call of Compassion NW Network will be there to help us, by:

Bringing people together for conversation and to get to know one another.
Doing the essential inner work of awakening to the divine spark that lives in every human heart and mind.
Facilitating dialogue and developing relationships of trust.
Shaping goals that address the issues and incorporate community assets in the solutions.
Managing project teams that are accountable to achieve sustainable outcomes.

Compassion is the most compelling force in the world.

Compassion is not just feeling with someone,
But seeking to change the situation.
Frequently people think compassion and love
are merely sentimental.
No! They are very demanding.
If you are going to be compassionate,
be prepared for Action.
~ Desmond Tutu

Our Mission

To Honor Beloved Community Where it is Happening.
To Help Build Beloved Community Where it is Not.

The aftermath of violence is bitterness. The aftermath of non-violence is the creation of Beloved Community, so that when the battle is over, a new relationship comes into being. The end is reconciliation. The end is redemption. This is the love that may well be the salvation of our civilization.
~ Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “The Power of Non-Violence” June 1957
