“There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.” ― Martin Luther King Jr. #emotionalintelligence #emotionalquotient #vote #voters #voterregistration #votersuppression #voteready #votenow #votelocal #didyouvote #inclusivity #inclusionmatters #inclusive #inclusionforall #inclusiveworkplace #inclusion #inclusionmatters #draftdodgingtrump #pussygrabbingtrump #taxevadingtrump #seditioustrump

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Today’s reflection comes with a since of pride. I know that we in the business of community engagement, civil and human rights and in the field of DEI, have a lot of work to do, on a daily basis. But, it’s getting done. It is not easy and often a thankless or unnoticed job. However we continue to be in the spaces and places where we are needed That’s all that Dr. King Jr´s. Dream is about: Standing for Justice and continuing the work. Let’s not settle for mediocrity. We are equipped to continue to fight let’s continue to fan the flames of justice, equality and equity! #mlkday2024 #justiceforall #diversityequityinclusion #labor #dothework #equality #civilrights #humanrights #rbcartersaidit

Sixty years ago, African-Americans and their allies and fellow freedom fighters, converged on the National Mall from across the country, to demand their nation fulfill the promise of the American Dream for all. The 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom forged a cornerstone moment in American history and in the struggle for African-American equality that enslavement and Jim Crow had long denied. The 60th anniversary arrives amid a rise in white nationalism, in attacks against African-Americans and other marginalized and victimized groups, including antisemitism, anti-Jewish, and anti-LGBTQ sentiments and attacks, along with protests and conversations about racism and inequality, and debates about the teaching of the nations past. 60 years after Martin Luther King, Jr., led people in the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, we gathered again this past Saturday to declare that King’s dream is newly threatened and the fruits of his work are at risk. 60 years ago African-Americans and Jewish-Americans marched together, representing the solidarity of our communities. We do so again today, resonating in our shared narratives and in our plights for civil rights and social justice. And we are joined by so many other groups doing the same. We remember the past, honor the civil rights activists who have achieved so much, leading us to where we are. We have so much further to go. #MOW60 #FightHateForGood #adl #naacp #civilrights #DC #washingtondc #america #americanhistory #equalrights #equality #justice #ihaveadream #fightforward #activist #advocate #ally #60thanniversary #jobs #freedom #africanamericans #jewish #jewishamerican #solidarity #freedomfighters #freedomfighter #nationalmall #jimcrow #theamericandream #moment #history

I don't normally share non-work things on here, but this is pretty powerful stuff. Watch it, and then remember, if you think you're a good person, it's your job to stand up to hate wherever you see it. That means: Support your Jewish neighbours & colleagues against antisemitism, your Muslim ones against islamophobia, your Hindu ones against anti-Hindu sentiment, your non-white ones against racism, your female ones against misogyny & sexism, your LGBQ ones against homophobia & your trans ones against transphobia, etc. Be an ally to those who are targets of hate in all its forms, whether open and obvious discrimination or insidious and implied. Be the person you think you are. https://lnkd.in/dXek2tXg
