In our communities, everyday spaces, and in our work as peacebuilders, we encounter diverse and different views and perspectives. Being able to engage in open and respectful dialogue is an important tool at every level: political, societal and personal. As we work to change our communities and improve their overall well-being, it is through dialogue that we share information, find common ground and resolve conflicts. When people from different backgrounds come together to share their stories and perspectives, it humanizes them, and the issues at hand. Before true and meaningful community change can occur, before we can ever get to plans that outline problems and root causes, and present real, tangible solutions and outcomes, dialogue has to lay the groundwork, and form an important part of the entire process. #defyhatenow #hatefreecommunities

Our next plenary at 1PM will ask two different questions: 1: Are communities fully aware of what is at stake as tens of thousands of churches close around the country? The loss goes far beyond faith matters if communities also lose the public space that churches provide. 2: Why is shared business ownership suddenly becoming a movement? Speakers include: Mark Elsdon, Sidney Williams, Meagan Longley, Delilah Rothenberg, Aisha Benson, Stephanie McHenry #nebercon24

Cathy Franzoni, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Manasquan Bank sheds light on what community involvement really means and how we consistently give back to communities like #Metuchen in our latest episode of #OffTheCuff.

The National Churches Trust recently released "Every Church Counts: A Six Point Plan to Save the UK’s Church Buildings," outlining urgent steps needed to support these vital community spaces. As the  Places of Worship Forum  continues strategic work around the future of Scottish places of worship, this plan offers timely insight. It calls for 👇 👥 Better support networks for volunteers 🤝 Increased community partnerships 💰 £50M in annual government funding for repairs 🏛️ Cultural heritage strategies to boost tourism 🚪 Standards for regular public access 🗂️ Coordinated leadership on implementation With heritage and communities depending on these buildings, collaborative action is key.

Making a difference is more profitable than making a living and that is why I choose to make a difference in any given opportunity most especially in my community. The reason many people do not last long in a position of prosperity is because they forget their history. To reach your destiny, you must remember your history… Reaching out to the vulnerable in my community is my utmost priority. #30dayscontentchallenge #wisdomdeenimfa #socialmediamanagment #becomingasocialmediamanager #wisdomdigitalinstitute #wdiclassof2024

This has been said many times, many ways, and remains as true as ever. #EconomicEmpowerment #CirculationOfWealth #SupportBlackBusiness #CommunityInvestment #BuildingBlackWealth

https://lnkd.in/gditjjVg Why homelessness? This 2018 illustrated article covers one major reason: the destruction of more than one million SRO housing units. Market forces, even with huge incentives, won't make up for this loss. Another major reason is the restraint on public housing units in the US, since Reagan Administration. Countries that successfully house their entire population publicly invest in shelter. #homelessness #housing #sros #publichousing #housingpolicy #americanexceptionalism
