Alliance for the New Humanity

Founded by Deepak Chopra and two Nobel Peace Prize winners, Oscar Arias and Betty Williams, the Alliance for a New Humanity connects a global compassionate citizenry that influences policies closer to the true principles of life. The Alliance works to create a critical mass of peace consciousness, and project a new narrative that fully recognizes the oneness of humanity. Their catalyst is the enhancement of connectivity amongst the diverse groups and individuals working to bring about change in their communities and particular fields of interest. ANH is an international, non-denominational, non-partisan effort, focusing on the basic unitary principles of the human spirit as reflected in the noblest religious and secular traditions. Its work will not be measured by sheer volume or numbers, but rather by the reverberation of a new narrative of human oneness leading to compassionate, understanding and peaceful actions. They invite leaders in government, business, arts, religion and other sectors of society to participate in this dialogue, on the sole basis of their concern for humanity, their respect for life, and their longing for a better, more conciliatory and equitable world for a new definition of Peace.

Mosaic Multicultural Foundation

Mosaic seeks to create cross-cultural alliances, mentoring relationships and social connections built upon personal trust and commitment to bridge unhealthy divisions in contemporary communitites. The process of finding, fitting and weaving together divergent yet necessary pieces involves making new social fabrics from existing ethnic, spiritual, psychological and political threads. Mosaic means putting essential pieces together; forming a whole from separate, divided, even estranged parts. Each project begins with the idea that the necessary pieces can be found, even if it means looking in troublesome or unexpected palces. Current projects focus on youth at risk, 'genius based' mentoring and developing the 'arts of community' in diverse organizations and groups.
