DESCRIPTION
This time of year it is hard to avoid the barrage of postings about New Year’s Resolutions. Most of these are focused on ourselves. And don’t get me wrong, there is plenty for me to do to improve myself, but I got to thinking, what if we changed our perspective from that of ourselves to thinking about others? What if each one of us decided to resolve that in the next year (or years) we'd commit ourselves to making a change… in the world? I suspect we'd experience a nice side-effect of becoming a better person anyway. I think that many people don't realize how to go about doing important things in the world. But small changes accumulate and can make large differences. An epiphany is an epiphany. Don't underestimate the power of an individual with a cause, a commitment, a passion, or an idea. OK, so where do you start? That’s what I wondered, so I developed this card deck of “52 Ways to Change the World.” The goal of this deck is to stimulate thought, to inform, and maybe even to inspire action. It is likely that you are the kind of person who would be interested in changing the world simply by the fact that you are reading this. The web provides a remarkable resource and venue for connection and action. This deck provides only a sample of 52 sites relevant to the topics noted. Of course, there are many, many more and you can be certain that the number will only grow, but this gives you a place to start. If you'd like a deck, just download. They are set up to be duplex printed like a real deck of cards, but of course, the labor to do that is up to you, this is the content. Make up a few decks and give them to friends and see what happens. At The Center for Global Initiatives (http://centerforglobalinitiatives.org/ ) we believe in the power of the small project. We provide you with the tools and help so you can change the world. We maximize technology and tools in order to augment brains (http://centerforglobalinitiatives.org/tools.cfm ). We invented not only this Card Deck but also the concept of DIY Humanitarianism (http://centerforglobalinitiatives.org/diy.cfm) and we work as a contributory conduit made up of entirely of pro bono volunteers, with a shared vision of making a true difference in the world. It is our mission to develop and execute smart ways of doing good. Now, go be a threat to the status-quo.

The death penalty costs more than life imprisonment.
Innocent people can potentially be executed.
Diverts resources and energy that could be better used to work against
violent crime and assist those affected by it.
The death penalty is racist, arbitrary and immoral.

International law, such as The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and
The Geneva Conventions, unequivocally prohibits torture.
According to Amnesty International and the U.S. State Department, more
than 100 countries on five continents allegedly practice torture.
Vigilance of how all governments treat its citizens as well as
prisoners is key in stopping the worst torture abuses.

HIV/AIDS is a leading cause of adult deaths in the developing world.
There are 33 million people living with HIV/AIDS across the globe, and 22
million of them live in sub-Saharan Africa.
It costs around 40 cents a day for the 2 pills that are needed to help
keep someone living with HIV alive. Yet more than 70% of the people
in sub-Saharan Africa live on less than $2 a day.
Every day, thousands in Africa die from this preventable,
treatable disease.
