Community for Humanity organizes and supports activities and projects to raise awareness that respect for life is a consistent ethic that rejects all war, abortion, euthanasia, slavery and other forms of economic and sexual exploitation, and the death penalty and other forms of retributive justice, and that embraces refugees and migrants, the physically and intellectually disabled, and all whose lives are threatened or marginalized by the fear and insecurity of the powerful.

We seek for ways to overcome the cultural divide on these issues, to build empathy and understanding among those groups that have not yet embraced a consistent life ethic, by “cross-pollinating” events and actions that address one or another “pro-life” issue but which have not explicitly embraced a consistent life ethic.  We host an annual Bike for a Culture of Life Across Wisconsin, a fundraiser to support our development work in Haiti and Uganda, and to support a variety of life-affirming organizations working on behalf those whose lives are threatened.

The following organizations are supported by the Bike for a Culture of Life Across Wisconsin:
