New site profiles community groups
Started in May, Evidence of Humanity.org is a new website, based out of Seattle, that seeks to profile individuals, groups and organizations that aim to improve the human condition throughout the world.
The website’s “stories” section is particularly helpful, including links to other group’s websites, book reviews, and human interest stories. Groups linked to the site include international groups such as Ashoka, Acción, and Kiva, national groups such as the Institute for Local Self-Reliance and our own Community-Wealth.org, as well as a number of community groups.
In the words of the site’s founders, “This site is launched to offer simple evidence that where people come together to better their world, good things happen.” The site also aims to spur further action. As one of the site’s founders, Seattle illustrator Don Baker puts it, he hopes the site will “give you the sense of joy and desire to help out.”
The site also includes a submissions form for suggesting additional positive news stories to add to the site and a gallery for submitting artwork.
