Recently transitioning from her career as a zookeeper, Corina Newsome is currently a graduate biology student at Georgia Southern University, specializing in avian conservation. Corina earned her B.A. in Zoo and Wildlife Biology from Malone University (OH) in 2015, and since graduating, has founded several programs to encourage ethnic and socioeconomic minority high school students to consider careers in wildlife science. Corina grew up in downtown Philadelphia and has always had a desire to participate in, and advocate for, the protection of wildlife and natural spaces. She works to encourage minorities in the U.S. to explore the great outdoors and draw a connection for Christians between their faith and participation in creation stewardship.

Facebook TwitterWe are extending this invitation to everyone on the YECA Steering Committee.
Howard Pepper and I believe that YECA could play a catalytic role in rallying 30 million #CompassionateCitizens by Election Day, 2020.
We believe that 30 million is critical mass for empowering a #WiserDemocracy in the U.S., which would radically expedite #EquityForALL, across issue arenas from #EducationalEquity to #CreationCare.
.
We only very recently discovered YECA. We were (and still are) exploring a collaboration with John Morehead, who leads the Evangelical Chapter of the Foundation for Religious Dipomacy (FRD).
FRD’s work in promoting multi-faith dialogue complements our #WiserDemocracy mission (which I define as “the political empowerment our collective wisdom and compassion, via respectful dialogue-across-diversity”).
The simplest Story about the fledgling #CompassionateCitizens movement is on our website (CompassionateCitizens dot US), but a far deeper dive into our plan to unite myriad “silos of compassion” is in my last LinkedIn article (Embracing and Empowering Compassion).
[Please connect with us on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.]
We look forward to beginning a conversation and collaboration!
Compassionately,
