We believe that good news includes the following types of activities:
- Blowing the whistle on abuses of power
- Protesting and demonstrating against things that are harmful
- Experimenting with positive alternatives for all the institutions
- Protecting life on earth
- Devoting resources to making peace instead of war
- Increasing the amount of kindness and generosity in the world
We also believe that it is through the work of courageous individuals and grassroots organizations that the world changes for the better. We hope that this site will provide inspiration for us to create some good news of our own. To that end, we provide links to Featured Readers, Featured Charities, Recommended Readings, and petitions to sign.
