Today, we stand together to commemorate #WorldDayofSocialJustice, a day dedicated by the United Nations to highlight the importance of fostering social justice. This day serves as a global call to action to confront issues of poverty, inequality, human rights abuses, and the lack of social protections head-on.   At the heart of our mission, social justice is the driving force behind every initiative we undertake. As we move forward, our commitment to championing the rights of those who are marginalized, disadvantaged, and underrepresented remains unwavering. Through our strategic grantmaking efforts we are not just addressing symptoms but tackling the root causes of injustices across the United States.   This World Day of Social Justice, we celebrate our collective achievements and reaffirm our dedication to that cause. Yet, the journey towards a more equitable world is far from over. We invite you to join us in this ongoing fight for justice and equity. Together, we can make a significant impact.   Support our mission and be a part of the change: https://lnkd.in/em9gkzbX   #SocialJustice #Equity #HumanRights

Today I had the pleasure of meeting with Ann Coulter accompanied by SHRO board member, Andrew Douglas, at his birthday in Bonita Springs Florida, with his loving wife Sally. Every year Andrews birthday has a surprise element. This year it was a guest speaker Anne Coulter which was amazing. After cake, we had an open and honest discussion on what is happening in the Republican Party. In an atmosphere of openness and honesty, we grappled with the question: Can we stand behind Trump? And if not, what does the future hold? Can we support Trump? If not, what happens? Anne Coulter's insights illuminated the room, addressing each query with depth and perspective. A reminder that amidst political uncertainties Only contributions toward ophthalmology research are requested, no physical gifts were allowed all the charity went towards research. www.drantoniogiordano.com | www.shro.org Antonio Giordano Sbarro Health Research Organization Temple University Università degli Studi di Siena #SHRO #drantoniogiordanio #antoniogiordano #FortuneItalia #sbarrohealthresearchorganization #AnnCoulter #RepublicanParty #trumpsupport #futureofgop #PoliticalDiscussions #opennessandhonesty #birthdaysurprise #bonitaspringsflorida #ShroBoard #andrewdouglas #SallyDouglas #ophthalmologyresearch #charityevent #guestspeaker #PoliticalInsights #communityengagement #GOPDebate #politicalthoughts #birthdaycelebration #Philanthropy #PoliticalDialogue #communitysupport #socialresponsibility

So, this is the time of the year when many of us donate to good causes. As an academic, I have been a big fan of the approach taken by Evidence Action. They actively measure the benefits their programs achieve, such as sampling water for chlorine levels in the households located in the communities served by their water treatment devices. This approach might not work for every philanthropic organization but it is great to see its use in situations where outcome measurement is possible. #philanthropy #waterfiltration https://lnkd.in/gaaZB9tj

This article in Third Sector is very pertinent. While we were all quick to make necessary statements of condemnation and support after the last riots, it is imperative that the introspection required of the sector focuses on the role that we need to play in ensuring that we are challenging perspectives and myth-busting and educating upstream. The sector has been too cowed in recent years to desist from making what was deemed political statements. The implicit and sometimes explicit threats of sanction and attendant financial implications meant that we did not challenge robustly enough the rhetoric amongst politicians that fed false narratives (LIES) and scapegoating of minoritised communities and immigrants to the country, a situation that the Far Right exploited to reinvigorate their racism and xenophobia. As a sector, we need to regain that sense of purpose to bravely and purposefully challenge anyone that uses lies and misinformation and strawman arguments to demonise and cause division, while simultaneously having conversations about how we can best educate the country about a more comprehensive sense of the UK's history and its contemporary manifestations and implications. We can start with dismantling nonsense like Kemi Badenoch's recent article in the Daily Mail where, having been cynically silent about the riots, she opportunistically attributes the recent riots to identity politics. https://lnkd.in/eJHyAk3m. Let's not wait till the next riots or social upheaval before we make our voices heard. If we feel that we can be picked off individually or our lone voices will be too small to be heard amongst the noise, then let's work with our collective associations and membership bodies to pushback on our behalf. As we saw when the people came out in counterprotest, we have the power. #ThirdSector #Locality #Belonging #Charities #Community #SocialAction #PeoplePower #Racism #Xenophobia

Have you read our recent blog? Are donors waking up to the risks of corporate capture? by Michael Jarvis. There's a growing focus on corporate accountability amid climate and democracy challenges. Our review highlights the need for more funding and action against corporate capture. Successes like the EU's new regulations show progress is possible. We need businesses to support a just energy transition and uphold democratic values. 🔗 Read the full blog post here: https://lnkd.in/dFG7w9hg #CorporateAccountability #Philanthropy #ClimateAction #Democracy Jana M.

Fiend-ship A loving partnership could create beautiful things: adorable children, a non-profit charitable organization, a corporation that provides sustainable value to humanity, a non-biased journalistic think tank, a research laboratory to understand the current ills of civilization, a more conscious entertainment company, innovative art and cultural projects, groundbreaking scientific discoveries, community-building initiatives, educational programs to uplift underprivileged communities, and environmental conservation efforts. However, an adversarial relationship could give birth to atrocious outcomes: a bitter separation/divorce, costly litigations, emotional trauma for all parties involved, psychological harm to children, financial ruin, long-lasting resentment and animosity, damaging rumors and defamation, loss of mutual friends and social support, severe stress and health issues, potential violence or abuse, societal divisions, genocides, wars, unspeakable atrocities, systemic discrimination, human rights violations, and environmental destruction. The power of human dynamics could either create or destroy. And it's up to us to decide what we get out of it. For what difference is there between us humans and those animals in the jungle if we unconsciously resort to bitter harm? #LovingPartnership #PositiveImpact #Collaboration #Innovation #Sustainability #NonProfit #Journalism #ScientificResearch #CulturalProjects #CommunityBuilding #Education #EnvironmentalConservation #ConflictResolution #MentalHealth #HumanRights #SocialImpact
