Project Transparency

Project Transparency A voice for social good providing organizations & individuals opportunities to reach out, share their stories, and take action. COMING SOON!

LET'S BE CLEAR
Our platform bridges the informational and relationship gaps, creating a direct two-way communication between organizations and the individuals that want to make a difference. We’re about great individuals with great ideas, meeting great organizations doing great things. It's going to be great. Our new way of looking at social good will lie in these basic principles:

Presence
Prov

iding organizations of all sizes the ability to gain a presence in the social good community and level the playing field. Individuals also have a presence specific to this community without getting lost in a clutter of information. Accountability
Going beyond just “knowing where the money goes” to showing the meaning behind numbers and being more deeply connected to building public trust. We see how missions and goals are achieved as well as the struggles and pitfalls, and how we, as a community, can work together. Community
As a hub to provide members with opportunities to engage, support, and participate. By keeping each other in check, we maintain awareness on the issues we face as a global community. Transparency
We believe in providing more than just a reporting of activities, but an understanding of purpose and the reasons behind actions. By fostering Presence, Accountability, and Community we can engage with a new understanding of Transparency.

"Hip hop gives hope..."

Don't villainize the community, work with the community.

Don't villainize the community, work with the community.

The man holding this sign is Richmond (CA) police chief Chris Magnus, whose department has not lost an officer or killed a citizen since 2007, the year after he took over. This is not an accident, this peacefulness is the direct result of his leadership. Police departments across the country should be looking to his department as an example to be followed.

'Chief Magnus changed the department from one that focused on "impact teams" of officers who roamed rough neighborhoods looking to make arrests to one that required all officers to adopt a "community policing" model, which emphasizes relationship building.

"We had generations of families raised to hate and fear the Richmond police, and a lot of that was the result of our style of policing in the past. It took us a long time to turn that around, and we're seeing the fruits of that now. There is a mutual respect now, and some mutual compassion."'

I say,
It’s the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I’m a woman
Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.

Beautiful recording brings to life a cultural classic.

In 2014 we connected with Laughter For A Change , a great non-profit that uses improv, comedy, and laughter to help build self-confidence and make meaningful connections within communities such as veterans groups, homeless youth, senior groups, and middle school students. They work with other non-profits and community groups, such as the NOW (New Open World) Academy at Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools, the Koreatown Youth and Community Center, West LA Veterans Administration, Ascencia: Lifting People Out of Homelessness, the Pacific Lodge Boys’ Home, and the New Community Jewish High School. When we first encountered Laughter for a Change we heard they did great work around town, but it wasn’t until we got to know them more that we realized the immense power that laughter and improv can have on the individual and within communities. We were excited to create a narrative video about them, and share with the world the richness of what they do. Stay tuned…

Why there's an official UN International Jazz Day: "Jazz means understanding others, letting them speak, listening with respect. Jazz means courage – it means standing up for freedom, in the spirit of solidarity"

The top United Nations cultural official said today that artists across the globe have been drawn to the spontaneity and freedom of expression of jazz for over a century, as musicians and music lovers the world over celebrate International Jazz Day.
