Politics

Politics is the space where we can find collective solutions to our greatest challenges and work to improve the welfare of all. 

Sadly, many political systems have become corrupted and diverted from that objective: they prioritize the attainment of power over all else. The result is that politics has become extremely competitive, divisive, and susceptible to foul play. 

We need to create compassionate politics which allow for the open debate of concerns, issues, and experiences, constructively works to address them, and does so by including the voices and ideas of all.
