What does it mean to Activate the Good? ?? It’s more than just a phrase—it’s a movement rooted in the belief that everyone carries the potential for goodness. Even the smallest acts of kindness can create a ripple effect, shaping our lives, uplifting others, and strengthening our communities. One simple choice for good could change someone’s life!
