Movement of Movements – Robertson Work
The Compassionate Civilization Collaborative (C3) and the
Movement of Movements (MoM)
The Compassionate Civilization Collaborative (C3) began in August 2017 with the publication of Robertson Work’s book, A Compassionate Civilization: The Urgency of Sustainable Development and Mindful Activism. The mission of C3 is to strengthen the movement of movements (MoM) that is catalyzing a compassionate-ecological community, nation, and world. MoM is related in concept to the EI/ICA’s spirit movement of those who care, the Charter for Compassion’s network of networks, and Paul Hawkins Big Movement.
MoM is comprised of many individuals, organizations, and movements around the world in numerous thematic areas. Six critical movements promote 1) climate change mitigation and ecological regeneration; 2) gender equality; 3) socioeconomic justice; 4) participatory governance; 5) cultural tolerance; and 6) peace and nonviolence. The MoM can be further strengthened by cultivating understanding and goodwill among the various movements, collaborative communication, actions, initiatives and projects, common leadership training and strategic planning, and collaborative websites and social media postings.
The online resources that follow provide a wealth of knowledge about C3 and MoM. There are Amazon pages, blogsites, Facebook pages, websites, podcasts, videos, interviews, excerpts, articles, speeches, social media pages, and other publications of the writing of Robertson Work. Onward!
