About Our Common Concern
Originally launched on Blogspot in early 2007, Our Common Concern is a socially conscious blog rooted in the simple belief that “our greatest resource is each other”. Among those working for progressive social change, there is more that unites us than drives us apart — and Our Common Concern is the perfect way to seize this opportunity.
Our Common Concern recently entered an exciting partnership with the Third Sector New England’s (TSNE’s) Non Profit Center in Boston, a non-profit “incubator” where dozens of organizations work to create a more just, sustainable, and humane future.
Each month, the blog will highlight the work of the Center’s great tenants, from Roots & Shoots to Boston After School & Beyond. Interspersed with news updates about progressive causes around the world – including human rights, the environment and animal advocacy – Our Common Concern will be a one-stop shop for anyone interested in a unified social movement for change.
