Affirm the Charter for Compassion

By adding your name, you are affirming the Charter for Compassion as both a living work of art and a guiding moral compass for our time. Your signature acknowledges the enduring significance of the original 2009 Charter for Compassion—an historic document that helped catalyze a global movement—and also recognizes the renewed vision of Charter for Compassion 2.0, which carries its spirit forward in language that is more inclusive, more expansive, and more attuned to our interdependence with one another and with the Earth.

Below you will find the original Charter for Compassion, along with a selection of recitations and interpretations created by individuals and communities over the past decade that reflect how this Charter has been received, embodied, and brought to life around the world.

Your signature is a meaningful commitment to the values and vision of this historic document (see text below). Affirming the Charter is completely free, and we warmly invite you to take part in our global movement in whatever way feels right for you.
