Welcome to the Society of Good People

Every selfless act of goodwill sparks another.

OUR MISSION

The Society of Good People is a social movement and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to the betterment of humanity.


We empower individuals and communities to build a world free from abuse, loneliness, and online harm. We achieve this through targeted initiatives, volunteering, awareness campaigns, and collaborations with other nonprofits. Ultimately, we strive to create a society where everyone thrives, guided by a universal understanding of what it means to be a good person.


Our current initiatives are:

  • We work to prevent sexual and physical abuse of girls and women.
  • We break the silence on men's mental health and suicide crisis.
  • We build stronger connections and a sense of belonging within communities.
  • We champion online safety by fighting online abuse and misinformation, and promoting digital literacy.


  • We are the custodians of The Codex and the Codex Project.


The Codex Project is an initiative which strives to define "The Codex," an universal understanding of what it means to be a "good human."

 

By fostering the exchange of acts-of-service, we aim to create a new paradigm for human relationships built on compassion, contribution, and reciprocal accountability.  It is our hope and goal that this accountability will pave the way for a new nobility named the "Codex Commonwealth", based entirely on merit and the ongoing conduct of being a "good human" as defined and universally agreed in the Codex.

Depression and Hope: Finding Light in the Darkness
By Sebastian Rako 12 Feb, 2024
In a world seeking universal ethical principles, the Codex Commonwealth has emerged as an Oath Confederacy dedicated to discovering "The Codex" – a universal code of virtues defining what it means to be a "good human." Central to this pursuit is The League of Champions, a global assembly of extraordinary professionals who pledge to contribute their expertise and embody the virtues enshrined in The Codex. This elite collective transcends borders, uniting lawyers, doctors, educators, and experts across disciplines. Chosen through a rigorous process assessing reputation, merit, and ethical conduct – not wealth – League members vow to uphold The Codex's principles, serve as role models, and mentor future generations. With an unwavering commitment to virtue, The League of Champions stands as a transformative force, shaping a paradigm where universal virtues guide personal, professional, and societal conduct.

From Violence to Virtue: Martial Arts & Character Development
By Sebastian Rako 04 Nov, 2023
From Mandalorians' "This is the Way" to historical "Oath Confederacies" and "Codex Commonwealths," the idea of a society bound by shared values and an oath is alluring. Could this translate to the modern world? Challenges abound: defining core values, ensuring fair enforcement, and overcoming resistance. However, fostering inclusivity, adaptability, and open dialogue might create a more meaningful society. Careful consideration of economics, education, technology, and potential abuse is crucial. Can such a system truly thrive? The answer remains an open invitation for exploration and discussion.
