There’s a quiet, gentle revolution sweeping through America’s prisons and communities, which started three years ago, on every 2nd Saturday in Community Kindness Circles in Swarthmore, PA’s Borough Hall. The project began with award-winning author, activist and filmmaker, Judith Trustone and grew out of “Healing with Words,” her Creative Writing Programs in prisons. With anti-violence prisoners designing and funding the first batch of Kindness Cards, 60,000 have been distributed so far globally. The Global Kindness Revolution is spreading through Kindness Circles in a broad range of civic, religious, schools and human rights groups. Community Kindness Circle’s third year begins at Swarthmore’s Borough Hall this Saturday, October 9 from 4 to 5:30pm. For more information contact Judith Trustone at info@trustonekindness.com or call 610-328-6101. For those unable to attend, join us at 4:00pm every Saturday for our Virtual Kindness Circle wherever you are (see directions on the Kindness Circles page). The Kindness Circles compliment all religious beliefs and children are welcome to attend if they are able to sit quietly. This is a free event, but donations toward the printing of more Kindness Cards are appreciated.
If you would like to place an order for Kindness Cards, please go to the Contact page, write “Kindness Cards Request” in the subject line and indicate in your message how many Kindness Cards you would like, what donation you will be making, and where you would like the Kindness Cards sent.
