Full disclosure: Hernan Bonomo is my husband, and the person who has most shaped my political perspective. We often vehemently disagree particularly in the recent roller coaster years of global and national politics that we follow. I readily admit that with the arc of hindsight, he's usually right and I've come to appreciate his ability to cut through the noise, link seemingly disparate events, and write with a moving clarity. This is worth a read for those who care about #equity #justice and #civilrights. follow up note: he will never be right about what music to listen to on a road trip.

The UNAAV Young Professionals have started their own blog series on important international issues and events. Here is an excerpt of their first post. "Each year, February 20th marks World Day of Social Justice, which was adopted on the 26th of November 2007. This is a day when we are again reminded of the need to build fairer and more equitable societies." https://lnkd.in/e-3NC2ZK

Inclusive education benefits all learners

On this International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and Abolition, we unite in memory of the victims of the transatlantic slave trade and honor the resilience of those who fought for freedom. This year's theme, "Fighting Slavery's Legacy of Racism Through Transformative Education," reminds us that education is a powerful tool to dismantle the chains of racism and prejudice that persist in our world. Let us commit to educating ourselves and future generations about the history of slavery, the struggle for abolition, and the ongoing fight against racial inequality. Together, we can create a world where all individuals are treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their background. Join us in commemorating this day by spreading awareness, engaging in meaningful conversations, and supporting initiatives that promote equality, justice, and inclusivity. Let us honor the past by working towards a more equitable future for all. #EndSlavery #RememberAndReflect #EducationForChange #UNESCO #alleyesonjudiciary #GSAI #EndGenderDiscrimination #unwomennigeria

FLASH BACK OF (2021/12/18) THE MIRAGE OF EQUALITY The ideology of equality might just be another gimmicks or rhetorics. For the principle of equality in any form is an abuse of nature and human dignity, as no two persons are equal in any form(either male,female or both),even our fingers are not equal. The opposite, negativity and positivity of life itself attests to the natural phenomenon of inequality. Our society herself is not equal in endowment. Even God and nature detests and abhors equality.But may be,the proponents of equality mistaken equity and fairness (which is what should be the central demand) for it.

Today we celebrate Juneteenth. 🫶 Also known as “Freedom Day” and “Emancipation Day,” Juneteenth marks a pivotal day – the arrival of Union General Gordon Granger in Texas in 1865, finally bringing the news of freedom to enslaved people there. Though the Emancipation Proclamation came earlier, Texas’ remote location delayed its impact. It wouldn’t be for another six months that slavery in the United States would be formally abolished with the ratification of the 13th Amendment. While freedom wasn’t instant across the nation, Juneteenth celebrates that pivotal moment in Texas and the ongoing fight for equality. • • • • #camposhomesnj #equality #juneteenth #juneteenthcelebration #realtor #realestate #realtorlife #camdencounty #gloucestercounty #burlingtoncounty #southjerseyrealtor #njrealtor #kellerwilliamsrealty #kellerwilliamsrealtor #newjerseyrealestate #newjerseyrealtor

Dear connections, Human Rights Day is celebrated worldwide on December 10th each year. It commemorates the day when the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. This declaration outlines the fundamental rights and freedoms that every individual is entitled to, regardless of their race, religion, nationality, or any other status. On this day, Drops of Change recognize the importance of promoting and protecting human rights for all. It serves as a reminder that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, equality, and respect. It's an opportunity for individuals, organizations, and governments to come together and advocate for the rights of all people, and to address any human rights violations that may exist. Let's use this day to raise awareness, educate others, and take steps towards creating a more inclusive and equitable society. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that human rights are upheld for everyone, everywhere. Regards Drops Of Change #dropsofchange #humanrights #knowledge #awareness #humanity #society
