About us
Welcome! Since 2015, Compassionate Atlanta (CA) has been building a movement around the idea of compassionate action. CA’s work is done in community. We are founded on the International Charter for Compassion, with the call to action to honor our common humanity. CA is a grassroots movement that engages local individuals, schools, businesses, organizations, congregations and cities around the idea of compassionate action. Our work focuses on providing training, facilitating conversations, providing resources and bringing greater compassion and kindness into our world, in turn creating healthier, safer and more vibrant communities. In today’s world, now more than ever, we need compassionate action. This stretches from self-compassion to our families and neighbors all the way to our global place in the world. Compassionate Atlanta is a grassroots community-building movement that seeks to raise awareness about the benefits of compassionate action throughout Greater Atlanta and beyond. The Compassionate Atlanta Planning Team, which was formed in 2013, was instrumental in getting the City of Atlanta designated as a “Compassionate City.” That important step was taken on February 3rd, 2014 by the City Council of Atlanta and approved by Mayor Kasim Reed on February 12th, 2014. In so doing, Atlanta became the second largest metropolitan area in the United States to become a Compassionate City.

August is Back to School Month! 🍎📚 Focus on Compassion. As schedules get busy and stress heightens, find time to model compassion with your children. Think about a device free dinner time. Adults can create space for conversation and connection. Be curious. Ask questions like: 1.What was the best thing that happened at school today? 2.Who were you kind to? 3.Share with me something new you learned today? 4.How were you a helper? Or how could you help tomorrow? 5.How did you take care of yourself? Whether it's the first day of kindergarten or the start of a final year, let's support our students in achieving their best. #BackToSchool #NewBeginnings #EducationMatters #compassionateatl

Here is what Compassion in our organizations looks like. When your organization has events, are you sensitive to religious and dietary inclusion? It goes a long, long way. It is more than “Chicken, Beef or Vegetarian.” Take the time. Let your guests know that you actually care and you want them there. #compassionindex #compassionateatl
