Today, as we commemorate Juneteenth, we reflect deeply on the significance of freedom and justice in our society. Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, marks the emancipation of the last remaining enslaved African Americans in the Confederacy. It serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience, strength, and ongoing struggle for equality that shapes our nation. At Fakhoury Global Immigration, we are deeply committed to upholding principles of justice and equality every day. Let us use this day to educate, empower, and inspire change. Together, we can build a future where freedom and equality are not just ideals, but realities for all. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #SocialJustice #ImmigrationLaw #DiversityandInclusion #JusticeForAll #CivilRights

Let us continue to champion dignity, equality, and freedom, not just within our borders, but around the world. Together, we can build a future that truly honors the legacy of those who fought for the rights we cherish today. Let's commit to making every day a day of action for human rights. #HumanRightsDay #EqualityForAll

This day serves as a reminder of the progress made and the work still needed to achieve true equity and inclusivity for all. #juneteenth #freedom #equityforall

Fundamental Rights Report 2024 is available! (European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights) “Polarisation across Europe is leading to widespread intolerance, creating divided societies with many groups suffering. Rising poverty and democratic threats are further fuelling uncertainty and societal tensions. But Europe also has a strong foundation in human rights which can guide our actions. We should all pull together and work to our strengths to ensure a secure and inclusive future that respects the rights of all where everybody feels safe to be who they are.” Quote from FRA Director Sirpa Rautio ↘ You can find the report here: https://lnkd.in/dFJrNdxk
