In 2022, the Rozsa Foundation received feedback from our community suggesting that as a private foundation, we could play a significant role in advocating for increased government support for the arts sector. This resonated with our values and vision, leading us to allocate more resources to arts advocacy. We've been active in advocacy at all levels of government, from local to federal. We've joined initiatives like the Nonprofit Vote and the Canadian Arts Coalition, and we've invested in our own knowledge through professional development programs. Recently, there have been positive steps in Alberta, with the government announcing increases in funding for the arts. This is encouraging news. Moving forward, we plan to stay connected with relevant government ministries and continue advocating for the arts sector.

Professor Educational Leadership for Change at Antioch University specializing in Indigenous worldview and counter-hegemonic democracy education
In 2018, there was a call for chapters for a book that would be titled, Confronting Antisemitism on Campus. The book was not published until “August 21, 2023, less than two months before the Hamas attack on October 7. Published by Peter Lang as Vol. 15 of the Equity in Higher Education Series, the published book has 31 chapters on confronting antisemitism and one contrary chapter that I submitted titled “Confronting Wrongful Allegations of Anti-Semiticsm on campus.” Here is an excerpt from the first page: “I assert that our uninvestigated Euro-centric based worldview is significantly responsible for antisemitism, the false allegations of it, and the horrors of the policies of both Israel and the U.S. in Palestine. In this chapter I introduce a way to transform angry debate and alienation in university settings to cooperative argumentation and transformative learning on behalf of peaceful relationships… The false allegations to which I refer confuse antisemitism with appropriate social/ecological justice activism relating to state policies of Israel and the United States contributing to human rights violations in Palestine. Rabbi Jill Jacobs writes about the problem in her piece in the Washington Post (2018): Yes, anti-Semitism is alive and well, and increasingly it masquerades as criticism of Israel. But as the executive director of T’ruah, a Jewish organization dedicated to protecting human rights here, in Israel and in the occupied Palestinian territories, I know it’s possible to criticize Israel without veering into anti-Semitism. I do it every day” (2018). Unfortunately, university campuses are continue to ‘veer’ the wrong way… · https://lnkd.in/g_ekWVyX From: Eimear O'Neill
