SATURDAY MORNING (AUGUST 24TH) at 9:30 AM our amazing Who I Am Foundation volunteers in #Albuquerque will be having our next Community Clean-Up (ABQ)!! LOCATION TO BE DETERMINED. WE ARE OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS! Youth participation is strongly encouraged, so children are welcome to join! NO OPEN-TOED SHOES Cleaning up loose trash is one of the best ways to pitch in for your community and the environment. None of us like the sight of litter. Litter spoils the look of where we live but that’s not the only reason for picking up litter. There are a number of benefits from picking up litter that you may not have considered before. Volunteer-led projects such as these are one of the quickest, simplest, and least expensive ways to inspire more community spirit and civic action. A visually appealing community increases property values, attracts businesses, and improves the neighborhood's image. Beauty is one of the three most influential factors in community attachment, which means loyalty, to your particular town or city. Some research even shows that a nice-looking neighborhood promotes good behavior. Join us in keeping your community clean! For more information: https://lnkd.in/gJNjR4Ns #TeamWhoIAm_Albuquerque

🌳 We give away hundreds of thousands of free tree packs to schools and communities every year. 💚 Why? Because we want to make sure everybody in the UK has a chance to plant a tree. And we believe that everyone deserves equal access to trees and the benefits of green spaces - this is what we call tree equity. These free trees make a huge difference to people and their communities. They're generously funded by our lead partners Sainsbury's, Lloyds Banking Group, OVO, Bank of Scotland and Sofology. 📹Watch our film and see the impact of free trees: https://lnkd.in/g_9benGj Meet the students and teachers of Charborough Road Primary School in Filton, a few miles north of Bristol. Current tree canopy cover there is 9%, making it the lowest-scoring LSOA in South Gloucestershire with a Tree Equity score of just 57. Anything below 70 out of 100 is a priority area for increasing tree canopy cover. The school is making big changes to their school spaces thanks to our free tree packs. It's no secret that woods and trees are good for people's health and wellbeing, particularly in our towns and cities. But urban trees and woods aren't distributed equally, and the communities that could most benefit are losing out. Our Tree Equity Score tool can help identify the areas in greatest need. 🔎 Find out more about tree equity: https://lnkd.in/eXxeuxCi 🏫 If you know a school or community group that could benefit from free trees, particularly if their tree equity score is low, share this link with them to APPLY NOW: https://lnkd.in/gQgwUf7  🌱 Successful applications received by end August 2024 will receive their trees ready for planting season in November 2024. #freetrees #treepacks #WoodlandTrustPartnerships #treeequity  

Today, we reflect on the importance of acknowledging the truth, honoring Indigenous communities, and fostering healing. National Truth and Reconciliation Day is a time for all of us to learn, reflect, and stand in solidarity with the survivors of residential schools and their families. Let’s take this day to educate ourselves, listen to stories of resilience, and work towards a future of understanding, respect, and reconciliation. #NationalTruthAndReconciliationDay #EveryChildMatters #HonoringIndigenousCommunities #TruthAndReconciliation

📕 What is your favorite banned book -- is it a book that changed your life, changed the way you understood the world or made you feel seen for the first time? 👁️🗨️ While I have many favorites on the banned books lists, the one that jumps out at me as probably the most devastating and moving is Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye. 📖 For those of you who have read it, you'll know what I mean. It's a heartbreaking story, but also so brilliantly told with "Dick and Jane" chapter titles that so searingly demonstrate the critical importance of diverse books. 🗑 The book was also challenged in my own county -- known as a liberal enclave with one of the best education systems in the country -- in 1998. She described the book as "lewd" and upheld the section on pedophilia and child molestation. ⁉ For whom is it more important to know about pedophilia and child molestation than children? How are those who have experienced it to know that it is not ok or that there are other people who have had this happen or -- and most importantly -- that there could be trusted adults who can help that child get out of a dangerous situation? 🚁 Trying to protect kids from facts is misguided. Look at what the knowledge of pedophilia did for Kamala Harris and her best friend. Kamala's family took her best friend into their home and Kamala decided to become a prosecutor to protect others from sexual predators. 🤗 If I'm looking for protection for my kids, I'd rather have someone with their eyes wide open, fighting the predators that exist rather than trying to "protect" kids from the very knowledge that might save them.
