COMPASSIONATE
Las Vegas
Compassionate Las Vegas is a community network created to foster the values of the Charter for Compassion and build a movement of compassion in the Las Vegas, Nevada area. We aim to make Las Vegas a more compassionate place to live, learn, work, and play by promoting compassionate practices in our community from grass-roots to grass-tops.

Compassionate USA represents an immense opportunity to affirm the capacity of Compassion to change the trajectory of culture away from tragedy.
With over 20 Cities in Compassionate California, and numerous cities throughout the USA signing on, we are given the chance to begin to break the cycles of violence, racism, and trauma that we painfully witness too often. Compassion is a verb!
When we open the door of Compassion, we invite the floodwaters of Loving Kindness, which results in the awareness of Hope. Now doesn’t that sound like a great opportunity? Thank you for being such a significant participant in the Compassion Movement!
