Obama Empathy Values Movement Workgroup (Meeting)
Barack Obama led a campaign based on values and at the core of this is the value of empathy. Obama says the country has an 'Empathy Deficit'. We are forming a group to build on Obama's call to address the empathy deficit. We are holding weekly meetings to form a group to promote a national ethos change from selfishness to empathy. At this meeting we'll brainstorm about how to build and structure the group. The meeting is from 2 to 4. However, more committed participants can stay an extra hour to continue the conversation.
..............
As part of this empathy movement, we're putting together a video of Barack's many speeches on empathy. You can see the first rough cut here. Compiled from about 30 of Barack's speeches and interviews on the topic of empathy.
