It's Your City features Compassionate Connections Matter founder Matthew Embrey
This week's edition of It's Your City, host Cortney Bloomer sits down with Matthew Embrey, founder and executive director of Compassionate Connections Matter, a non-profit organization committed to supporting acts of altruism through community event creation and engagement.
Embrey started the organization after last year's shooting at the Pulse Nightclub in Florida.
CCM works to promote a person’s natural motivation toward acts of altruism. Our organization works to build positive and loving relationships between individuals in order to break down societal illusions of separation so that people from all locations, sexes, cultures, backgrounds, sexual orientations, gender identities, and religious affiliations can compassionately come together.
He talks about organizing National Hug Day, June 12, 2018 and support around National Coming Out Day on Oct 11.
