We all have an intrinsic human need to belong; we all need somewhere to go, something to do and someone to see; whether we are eight or eighty. Life is for everyone and the way we show up should communicate that. Creating an ecosystem of care is imperative for creating a culture of connection, opportunity and hope—for everyone.
Common humanity is a shared state of being, linked with basic ethics of altruism derived from the human condition, symbolizing physical care, social intelligence and compassion towards each other and self. Sometimes we need encouragement to remember the definition of who we are and why we’re here. Share the message with ‘humanity’ merch.
