Campaign for Sustainability, Health,
Equity and Kindness
(S.H.E. Kindness)
Welcome to our Campaign for Sustainability, Health, Equity and Kindness (S.H.E. Kindness)!
This Campaign is the focus of the Alliance as we seek to bring about fundamental systems change through personal and organizational transformation and impactful public policies. We are supporting and amplifying the work of aligned groups and individuals to build a powerful alliance of more than one million people and organizations.
We co-created the Campaign in 2020 in response to the murder of George Floyd and so many others, the climate crisis, Covid pandemic and threats to democracy. We felt the need to scale our work and expand collaboration to address the multi-fold challenges we are facing and to co-create a thriving, just and healthy world.
