In this introductory video, Rev. Dr. Cari Jackson and Rev. Katey Zeh say “hello” and discuss:
- What sparked the idea for RCRC’s Compassion School and what role the pandemic played in this;
- If Compassion School solely focuses on the issue of reproductive freedom or if it includes other social justice issues;
- Who we hope will participate on Compassion School and what students may think and do differently as a result of learning more about compassion.

This week, Rev. Dr. Cari Jackson and Rev. Katey Zeh discuss the questions:
- What difference would it make if voters’ assessment of political candidates includes a focus on the expressed principles and track record of policies guided by compassion?
- President George W. Bush talked about the importance of compassionate conservatism – a political philosophy that stresses using conservative techniques and concepts to improve the general welfare of society. Why have we moved so far away from this political principle?
- What are indicators of compassion voters should look for in candidates for any elected position at federal, state and local levels?
- Quizzes designed to help voters discern which candidates are most aligned with what individual voters value focus on policy issues. What do you recommend be included in such quizzes to highlight values of compassion?
- We have seen an increasing number of Republican leaders endorse the Biden-Harris ticket. What does this signal to you about the value of compassion?

This week, Rev. Dr. Cari Jackson asks the following of Rev. Katey Zeh:
- You are a fitness trainer. Is there anything from fitness training that might be applied to strengthening compassion – not just as something we feel but action we take?
- How do we build our compassion muscles?
- Continuing with the exercise or fitness metaphor, what do you say to people who feel they don’t have time for compassionate because of all they are dealing with in their own lives?

- Start each day with the intention of building your compassion muscle with your loved ones and strangers.
- Record a short video of yourself talking about a time you have felt more compassionate to others when you have given compassion to yourself, and share it in your social media.

This week, Rev. Dr. Cari Jackson and Rev. Katey Zeh explore the following questions:
- What does it mean to think of racism as a public health crisis?
- If compassion were the guide for approaches and policies about reproductive health care, how would it impact maternal mortality–particular among BIWOC (Black, Indigenous, and Women of Color)?
- Discussions about reproductive health, rights and justice are often framed as pro-life and pro-choice. These terms often place greater value on the life of a potential, unborn person or on the current life of an actual person. How might compassion impact how we talk about abortion and all aspects of reproductive decisions and loss?

This week, we discuss:
- Typically, we focus on justice issues in ways that overlook their intersections. What has this election season revealed about the intersections of various justice issues?
- “Essential workers” during COVID-19 have often been people of color, women, and individuals who are being paid minimum wage. What has the COVID-19 pandemic revealed about intersections of income equity, public health, affordable housing, reproductive freedom, childcare, and public education, etc?
- How might compassion be a resource for helping us to advocate for justice – racial, economic, environmental, gender, disability, and so on – in ways that are more comprehensive and holistic?
- How can we spread the principles of compassion to help heal our world?

For our final week of Compassion School, Rev. Katey Zeh and Rev. Dr. Cari Jackson wrap things up with a discussion of the following:
- Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh says that it is really compassion that is the measure of our strength. What does that mean to you, especially in this time of multiple concurrent national and global crises that is leaving many of us feeling sad, scared, weak and overwhelmed?
- Dalai Lama and many others tell us that compassion is a necessity for our survival. Why is compassion urgent for today’s world, for both individual behavior and system approaches? How does compassion strengthen national security?
- What difference can each of us make in our own contexts and networks to spread compassion and encourage others to do so as well?
