Leadership in action.

So pumped for this discussion! #usofficeofforesight #FFAA

April 23rd is the 6th anniversary of the #TorontoVanAttack. This act of violence committed by a self-declared incel points to the necessity of raising awareness about incel ideology and possible interventions. Learn more in our upcoming Webinar: https://lnkd.in/gCb_QiPR

📢 FOA establishes its first European office As part of our global campaign to combat online antisemitism, FOA is thrilled to announce the opening of our first European office in France. This strategic move marks a significant milestone for our organization. It is a crucial step in our ongoing battle against the growing tide of online antisemitism. France, home to Europe's largest Jewish community, has witnessed an alarming rise in antisemitic incidents, particularly since the events of October 7, 2023. This surge in blatant antisemitism and online harassment poses a severe threat to the safety and well-being of Jewish communities across the continent. Our newly established branch aims to strengthen collaboration with European organizations dedicated to combating antisemitism. By joining forces with local and international partners, we can significantly enhance our efforts to monitor, report, and counteract antisemitic content on digital platforms. The launch of our European branch will also allow us to work within the framework of the European Digital Services Act (DSA), which enables organizations like FOA to more effectively address and remove hate content online. Through education, advocacy, and technological innovation, FOA France will dedicate its operations to ensuring that antisemitism has no place in the digital world. By fostering strong alliances and sharing resources, we can make a significant impact in the fight against bigotry, hate, and intolerance.

WE'RE NOW AT 31. No, that's not the current number of women killed by violence in Australia this year (although it's distressingly close to that, and rising). 31 is the number of local #FDV survivors we've successfully housed through the Impact Agents in our Housing Families program. That's a BIG number when you consider the current vacancy rate and the extent of this #housingcrisis. Even bigger when you add on the 62 children who are with them. Then, add on the 76 additional women that we've supported into alternative accommodation (see comments) and, all up, that's well over 100 Women that we've moved safely out of refuge, freeing up beds in crisis accommodation for those who need them right now. Are you in property? Become an Impact Agent and help us get 50 women and 140 children into a home where they can start dreaming big again. With thanks to all the members of 100 Women giving circle who believe in, and support, our mission to end family domestic violence. https://lnkd.in/eQKN3jEZ

Last night I lay down on the couch and gifted myself reading theory. This is the CCFWE's Submission on the creation of a potential coercive control offence in the context of intimate relationships. This paper raised really great points about the long-term impact of financial abuse and post-separation abuse, which includes withholding of child support. Financial abuse leaves long scars. https://lnkd.in/gyHReQix

Common Cause Foundation are looking for up to 5 new non-executive directors to join our Board and help shape our work to rebalance cultural values. Could it be you or someone you know? 💡 Do you share our belief that any proportionate and lasting response to the polycrisis will require a fundamental re-examination of the values that are prioritised in mainstream culture? 💡 Do you bring skills in strategic planning, financial management, fundraising, non-hierarchical structures or experience working for systemic environmental or social change outside of the NGO sector? 💡 What we do needs to be shaped by who we want to serve - and that's all of us. As such we are particularly keen to recruit new board members with marginalised identities who have been denied access to power and influence or tokenised, including, but not limited to Black, Brown and Majority World peoples, disabled people, those from the LGBTQI+ community, people from working class backgrounds and people who identify as women - or people with a particular commitment to challenge human exceptionalism. 💡 You don’t need to have experience of being a trustee to apply, you also don’t need to have years of experience in the workplace or formal qualifications. 💡 Positions on the board are voluntary, but we will meet expenses, including caring responsibilities.
