CHAMBERS OF COMPASSION (Intersectional Circles)
Implementation Process
mother page -- Created June 24, 2024
***************************************
CHAMBER OF COMPASSION: A BALLAD
>>> Based on "We Shall Overcome!"
***************************************
By: Moji Agha (in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada)
Wed. July 3, 2024 (6 AM)
We have overcome, and
built together our
Chamber of Compassion;
O' We the People!
***
Hand holding hand,
we empower
our community,
in peace!
*********************
OUR PURPOSE IN A CAPSULE
Whereas for-profit corporations and industries have "Chambers of Commerce" (that are called the same everywhere) for the purpose of building systemic collaboration and geographic coordination, the purpose of our strictly not-for-profit "Chambers of Compassion" is to build a similar kind of systemic synergy for the not-for-profit nonviolent civil society of every community, guided by the core value of compassion.

>> Sat. Jan. 18, 2025, 2 to 5 PM (Pacific time)
SPECIAL Multi-hour Multi-location Zoom Link: TBA soon
NOTE: In this "grand-opening" gathering, we expect, IF POSSIBLE, to "formally" reveal 
the exciting identity of the "community owned nonviolence/PATH mobile" -- whose current number of "community ownership" shareholders and its balance of community shares ($1 per share) is found here: https://natr-peace.blogspot.
6- OUR FIRST (JOINT) INITIAL MEETING of all the Chambers of Compassion (Intersectional Circles), that are noted above in our "Grand Opening" item # 5, above.
>> Mon. Jan. 20, 2025, 5:30 to 7 PM (Pacific)
Zoom Link -- TBA
NOTE 1:
a) It is expected that since the number in the first group of Chambers of Compassion (i.e., the first 6) that are ready to celebrate their births by Jan. 18, 2025 would grow beyond a certain number;
b) subsequent multi-location "Grand Opening" Celebrations (per item # 5, above--and see below) for the next group(s) of Chambers will be held on future Saturday dates--that will be planned and announced in due time;
c) and these subsequent group celebrations of Chambers are similarly followed by their respective joint first regional meetings (again on Zoom--per item # 6, above) again a few short days after their birthing celebrations, also to be announced in due time, and
d) Thus, the Zoom links for these additional gatherings will be announced again in due time.
NOTE 2:
After the above-mentioned initial joint regional first meeting of all Chambers of Compassion (Intersectional Circles) that have been adequately developed by that date (the first one on Jan. 20, 2025), the subsequent (in person and Zoom) meetings of each area's Chamber will be planned and held locally--and Moji Agha is happily available to join such meetings on Zoom.
