"Alon's White Men Registry helped me to develop more compassion and empathy towards white men, which doesn't come naturally to me"
52 years old Latino male, NY “Ori’s work is inspired and inspirational”
Ed Woodham, Director, Art in Odd Places Festival “Ori was an excellent guest speaker in the Art and Social Practice Program at Portland State University. He helped us re-evaluate our notions of compassion and gave us new tools to interact with communities that have different values then us”
Adam Carlin, Director, Greensboro Project Space "I am still helped every day by my Forgiver's License which i carry in my wallet."
- Zoketsu (Zen master) Norman Fischer, author, Training in Compassion. Listen to Zoketsu Norman Fischer, one of the leading Buddhist teachers in the US and founder of Everyday Zen (who also serve as ECN Commissioner of Compassion) talks about the Center for Supportive Bureaucracy (full talk here). "I've enjoyed having a tangible item to pull out and give to my clients after a very serious therapy session about their present and past challenges. I love having a resource for people to validate themselves when they feel written off by the world. A certificate, refurbished report card, or even a sticker can also be a nice transitional object and subtle reminder to the individual that it's going to be ok."

“This was my favorite session! So inspired to do some street activism with these magical tools! Didn't want to miss any of this great presentation!”
Participant, Expressive Therapies Summit "I gave a friend of mine, who is a hardworking single mom, an OK Parent Award. After she read it carefully she gave me a big hug of appreciation and said it really meant a lot to her and she thought all parents could benefit from it. Supportive bureaucracy is helping people by reminding them that they are human and deserve to be acknowledged every day"
Daniel Weise, Creative Director, Thundercut

“What was terrific about the forms that Ori prepared is that they were funny and accessible and allowed people to get to the essence or purpose of the Jewish High Holidays – Teshuva – without being tripped up by the unwieldy tool of the liturgy”
Rabbi Brent Spodek, Beacon Hebrew Alliance "My high school diploma, driver’s license, passport actually say nothing real about me. Imagine Vincent Van Gogh’s passport or the Rosa Parks driver’s license. You have an opportunity by engaging ECN documents to arrive at a document that comes mighty close to who you really are and in your own eyes to boot.”
Andrew Courtney, activist, Middle East dreamer |
"Yes we need the White Men Registry, because if I don't laugh at shit like that I will die"
