Pachamama Alliance’s Post

Thank you, Liam Paschall for sharing the Project 2025 document on LinkedIn. It is crucial for everyone to read and understand the contents of this playbook to grasp the real implications for our democracy. Recently, a misunderstanding arose due to remarks I made about Trump and the MAGA Republicans. Two individuals expressed their anger, with one saying they heard me speak venomously about “MAGA” Republicans multiple times. I respect these individuals for their courage to speak up, and I want to clarify my position. I didn’t speak venomously about anyone, as venom implies spreading lies to cause harm. I respect everyone’s political beliefs; however, it is evident that the very fabric of our democracy is under threat. The Trump and MAGA Republicans have made their intentions clear: they aim to transform our country into an authoritarian fascist dictatorship. This is not an opinion but a reflection of their own statements. If you support them, that’s your choice, but I will continue to speak out about the truth. We all know the suffering caused by cruel, authoritarian regimes. For the past year, I have been raising two sons living in refugee camps in East Africa, whose lives are endangered due to Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Bill of 2023. Being LGBTQ under such conditions is incredibly perilous. The Project 2025 playbook clearly outlines how MAGA Republicans plan to govern if Trump is re-elected. Is this the kind of country we want to live in? The future of our democracy and the freedoms we cherish are at stake. I am standing up for our democracy’s future, and I hope you will join me in reading and understanding this important document shared by Liam. #Project2025 #DemocracyInDanger #StandUpForFreedom #ReadToUnderstand #ProtectOurDemocracy

Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19th, marks a pivotal moment in American history when the last enslaved African Americans were finally informed of their freedom in 1865. This day not only commemorates the end of an inhumane chapter but also embodies the essence of leadership and vision. True leaders, like those who fought tirelessly for emancipation, possess the courage to envision a future rooted in equality, justice, and human dignity. Their steadfast commitment inspires us to continue striving for a more inclusive and fair society. Reflecting on Juneteenth, we are reminded that leadership is not merely about holding a position of power but about the relentless pursuit of a better world. Visionary leaders see beyond the present, recognizing the potential for growth, healing, and unity. They understand that progress requires both acknowledging past injustices and actively working to dismantle systemic barriers that persist today. As we honor Juneteenth, let us draw inspiration from the leaders who paved the way for freedom and equality. Their legacy challenges us to embrace our own roles as leaders and visionaries in our communities. By fostering inclusivity, advocating for justice, and championing the rights of all, we can contribute to a brighter, more equitable future for generations to come. #JuneteenthCelebration #EmbraceLeadership #EqualityAndJustice #VisionaryLeaders

If leaders want to create an environment where people are not only incentivized to come to work but also where they can thrive for the greater good, they need to start by understanding what matters most. Treating religion as an asset and giving employees permission to talk about religion at work is the first step to harnessing the power of religious diversity. An interesting and insightful article by Harvard Business Review. #DEIB #religion #diversity #leadership

"Difference is of the essence of humanity. Difference is an accident of birth and it should therefore never be the source of hatred or conflict. The answer to difference is to respect it. Therein lies a most fundamental principle of peace - respect for diversity." John Hume #respect #yourpowerskills #inclusion #equity #training #leadership #coaching

🌟 Empathy is a much-lauded leadership skill. But does it always deliver what it promises? Can feminists concerned with radical change imagine beyond the versions of empathy that are being sold to us? Yes we can! I wrote about it... #feminism #leadership https://lnkd.in/eg2Z4jyS
