Today we celebrate the 22nd anniversary of the entry of Bosnia and Herzegovina into the Council of Europe, which took place today on April 25th, 2002, and has allowed the country to continue its path in the defence of human rights and the fight against corruption. There is, of course, still much work to be done, for example, discrimination against ethnic minorities (like, the Roma community) or the LGBTQIA+ community, however, the most important shall be to remain focused on helping the country create a stronger and more vibrant society.

Democracy isn't just part of our history—it's part of our heritage. 🏛️ We're passionate about ensuring that the democratic process is transparent and accessible to all South Africans. Monitoring parliamentary sessions is how we help make sure that the voices of the people don’t get lost in the halls of power. As we celebrate Heritage Day, let's remember that our greatest legacy isn't just the traditions we inherit, but the freedoms we safeguard. Let’s honor that legacy by staying engaged and holding our leaders accountable. Because transparency today builds trust tomorrow. #HeritageDay #DemocracyInAction #Transparency #Accountability #ProudlySouthAfrican #CivicEngagement

"Asian Adoptees and Asian American We assert that transnational Asian adoptees are Asian American, whether or not we are accepted by the broader Asian American community. We live with the common denominators of anti-Asian racism and stereotypes we all face as Asian Americans. Often our stories and experiences are told by others and misrepresent us or follow harmful dominant narratives of adoptees that do not see our full humanity: the “helpless orphan” and perpetual “child that needs to be saved,” or the “troubled and angry adoptee” seen as too damaged to be taken seriously. Unfortunately, harmful attitudes towards us are often shared by non-adopted Asian Americans. In addition, such attitudes can also manifest in Asian Americans who disrespect Asian adoptees for “not being Asian enough.”  The preconceived ideas of Asian adoptees held by Asian Americans and the general lack of interest in learning from adoptees not only invalidates our lived experience but erases our presence as Asian Americans. The understanding of what it means to be Asian American must expand to include Asian adoptees and the complexity of our experiences. Not only should adoptees be included when representing the Asian American community, we should be present at decision-making tables. We also need Asian American leaders to advocate for the inclusion of Asian adoptees when policies will impact us. When it’s not possible for adoptees to be present, we need allies who understand the complexities of our experiences. For instance, it is important that the Asian adoptee experience be part of the Asian American story as represented in the proposed Smithsonian Asian Pacific American museum, and that Asian adoptee subject experts and scholars be central to designing exhibits that represent us.   Our community includes multiple generations of Asian Americans. We have contributed to Asian American history and community in countless ways, including our research, advocacy, art, direct services, and community building. It’s important that adoptees have the agency to speak to our own experiences and help drive policies that impact us. Having adoptee-centered spaces within the Asian American community has been critical in building our voice and power. Adoptee contributions to the Asian American community lift up all Asian Americans. Transnational Asian adoptees are Asian American and deserve to be considered in decisions and policies that impact the Asian American community. Asian Americans often remind the broader public how diverse our community is. Often, adoptees also fight to be seen and included within the Asian American identity. Our ranks include highly skilled and educated advocates who are experts in our community experiences. Every group wants self-determination, and we want that too. It is our hope that we will be successful in being better understood and represented within our larger Asian American communities."

The United Kingdom is the canary in the coalmine of multiculturalism. After decades of celebrating diversity and pushing aggressively for DEI, the violence of the Pro-Palestine movement has inspired unprecedented calls for reversing these policies. Far from protecting and advancing the rights of minorities, progressive intransigence has helped give fuel to powerful right wing actors who can now (rightly) demand an end to these policies, and (more dangerously) call for rebuilding the West into White/ Christian nations. Minorities in the West are far more insecure now because of the Progressive/ Left's pro-immigration, pro-diversity policies, though I don't expect these groups to change.  https://lnkd.in/ggVzn8GG
