"To effect lasting change, it is crucial for us to channel our energies toward constructive dialogue, advocacy for policy reform, and active participation in governance processes. Engaging in peaceful protests should be tempered with a deep commitment to safeguarding lives and properties, promoting unity, and upholding the rule of law. By embracing a culture of non-violence, resilience, and collaboration, we can harness the power of collective action to drive meaningful change." Prof. Chiwuike Uba, Executive Director, @Amaka Chiwuike-Uba Foundation - ACUF on the importance of responsible civic engagement and active participation in societal transformation. #CallToAction #ThoughtfulThursday #NonprofitsforGood #ServingUnderservedCommunities #LeavingNoOneBehind #SustainableDevelopmentGoals #GlobalGoals

My review of Francis Shor's excellent new book, *Peace Advocacy in the Shadow of War* is live at #TheJournalofPeaceEducation. Learning from Prof. Shor about previously under-recognized activists and organizations alongside luminaries and mass movements is an honor. In a time when global conflict seems to be on the rise, and existing conflicts are intensifying, a book like this is even more needed: https://lnkd.in/g24YAk89

Check out this video I produced in which Director and Co-founder, Lhadon Tethong, talks about the work of her organization, 2024 NED Democracy Award winner Tibet Action Institute, and their report that brings to light evidence challenging China's narrative on Tibet. Tibet is such a consequential but frequently overlooked issue today. It is one of the most important examples of modern-day colonialism in that it shows how insidious, adaptive, and all-encompassing the tools of oppression are. But while economic and technological powerhouse, China, continues to try and pull the wool over the world's eyes, Tibetans around the world and inside Tibet are relentless in their hope and determination to achieve freedom. A true David-and-Goliath story, Tibet Action Institute issued a report exposing one of these tools of oppression: China's colonial boarding schools in Tibet.

Power of voice is essential for all of us; for the whole community

Importance of critical thinking

A great insight for all the advocates or students in their law school or fresh graduates. Standing up for others not only gives you strength but also prepares you for the future fights (not about violence).

2023 marks 10 years since the establishment of the Federation of Victorian Traditional Owner Corporations. We are proud of the progress we have made in supporting the economic and self-determination of Traditional Owners in Victoria, but we know there is more work to be done. For the next 10 years, we will continue to advocate for Aboriginal-led advocacy and policy, and work with Traditional Owners to generate better outcomes for First Peoples.
