“We don’t just fix systems
— we heal them with human connection.”

We Are At A Defining Moment In History

The world is struggling with division, fear, and rising hate. But just as ordinary people rose up after WWII to rebuild a better world, we must do the same today—by choosing love over fear, unity over division, and action over silence.

As a social determinants of health fellow, historian, and military veteran who served at a nuclear missile base, I am keenly aware of what can happen when good people do nothing in the face of evil. For more than a decade, I have dedicated my life to putting love into action—transforming communities through the principles of L.O.V.E. Is The Answer. The word L.O.V.E. stands for the four action steps in our pledge:

It is upon this foundation that L.O.V.E. Is The Answer has launched the Campaign for Humanity, an ongoing nationwide effort to educate, equip, and empower individuals to lead their communities and their country with:

OUR GOAL

From Humanitarian Values to Human Outcomes

The Campaign for Humanity is rooted in a simple but urgent truth:
when empathy, compassion, and social responsibility are missing from our systems, harm follows — in our schools, our streets, our institutions, and our communities.

The Humanity in Public Health and Safety Act recognizes that teaching and operationalizing brotherly love is not symbolic — it is preventative. It is how we reduce violence before it erupts, address instability before it becomes crisis, and rebuild trust where it has been broken.

But love does not live only in words or intentions.
It must be embedded into the systems that shape everyday life.

When humanitarian values are present and practiced:

  • People experience greater safety and stability

  • Communities gain the tools to care for one another

  • Institutions begin to serve with dignity rather than distance

This is why the Campaign for Humanity focuses on three areas where the presence — or absence — of love is felt most immediately. These are not the mission; they are the measure.

They are the places where empathy becomes action, and where brotherly love becomes visible in the real world.

1. Affordable Housing: Human Dignity as Public Infrastructure

Safe, stable housing is one of the clearest indicators of whether humanitarian values are present in a society. When systems are rooted in empathy, compassion, and shared responsibility, people are protected from displacement, instability, and harm.

The Campaign for Humanity addresses affordable housing not as an economic issue alone, but as a public health and safety imperative — one that reflects how deeply we value human dignity and collective care.

HOUSING

Nearly 1 in 3 U.S. households is cost-burdened by housing.

2. Financial Literacy: Empowerment as Prevention

Financial instability leaves individuals and communities vulnerable to crisis. Teaching financial literacy is not about wealth accumulation — it is about empowerment, resilience, and sustainability.

Through the Campaign for Humanity, participants are equipped with practical financial tools that help sustain community projects, strengthen individual stability, and prevent harm before it begins — aligning education with compassion and long-term responsibility.

Participants gain connections and knowledge to sustain projects
Communities learn to fund and manage initiatives responsibly
Individuals strengthen personal financial resilience

3. Small Business Development: Community Resilience Through Shared Responsibility

Small businesses are more than economic engines — they are anchors of trust, opportunity, and connection within communities. When humanitarian values guide systems, local entrepreneurship is encouraged, supported, and protected.

The Campaign for Humanity fosters small business development as a way to strengthen communities from the ground up, ensuring that economic participation reflects service, dignity, and mutual care.

SMALL BUSINESS

Many small businesses struggle to access capital and long-term sustainability tools.

How the Campaign for Humanity Summits Support the Act

The Humanity in Public Health and Safety Act establishes a national mandate to embed empathy, compassion, and social responsibility into education and public-facing institutions. The Campaign for Humanity Summits serve as a living model for how this mandate can be implemented in real communities. Rather than treating love as an abstract value, the Campaign operationalizes it as preventative public health and safety infrastructure. Each Summit directly advances the Act by:

  • Teaching brotherly love as a skill, not an abstract ideal — through experiential learning, dialogue, and service-centered engagement
  • Demonstrating values-based education in action, mirroring the Act’s K–12 and professional training requirements
  • Supporting public-facing institutions with trauma-informed, empathy-centered practices aligned with the L.O.V.E. principles
  • Generating measurable outcomes tied to public trust, collaboration, stability, and community well-being

In this way, the Summits function as pilot environments — showing how love-based policy can be enacted, evaluated, and scaled across schools, agencies, and communities nationwide.

How Humanity Is Put Into Practice

Between January 2026 and October 2028, we will host hundreds of Campaign for Humanity Summits, training more than 25,000 people who will go on to influence positive change for millions of people—mobilizing votes, leadership, and action in favor of humanitarian values, people, and policies. The Campaign for Humanity Summits are designed as implementation spaces — places where humanitarian values move from principle to practice. Grounded in the L.O.V.E. Is The Answer framework and aligned with the Humanity in Public Health and Safety Act, each Summit brings together educators, public servants, community leaders, business owners, and residents to learn, connect, and co-create solutions rooted in empathy, compassion, and shared responsibility. These gatherings are not conferences. They are working environments where participants:

  • Learn how humanitarian values function as preventative public health and safety tools
  • Practice empathy-centered dialogue and collaborative problem-solving
  • Translate values into sustainable community initiatives
  • Build cross-sector relationships that extend beyond the event itself

This movement is already growing. National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), National Association of African Americans in Human Resources (NAAAHR), and other national and local groups have already joined us.
