"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." -- Martin Luther King, Jr. Today the U.S. celebrates and remembers the day the last slaves were set free-- nearly 2 and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation, nearly 2 months after the Civil War ended, and almost a month after the Confederate military was disbanded in Texas. There were still people living and working in slavery for that long after they were technically freed, on paper. Leaders need to be committed to doing better in all aspects of their work, to work toward ethical practices and outcomes, and strive for justice within their realm of power. They also need to have a sense within themselves about the quote above from MLK, and to know that the work for justice is never finished. They also need to recognize and celebrate the wins, but also be sure not to center themselves when it's not about them. How you recognize and celebrate today depends on how much this holiday affects and is meant for you. Happy Juneteenth! Celebrate today, and get back to work making it better, tomorrow. If you feel led to give today, the African American Advisory Alliance was established in the midst of the racial unrest in 2020 in conversation with the City of Pomona, and "set the aim towards efforts of reconciliation and equity in our community."

Did you know this Monday is the actual birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.?! (1/15/29) Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is observed every year on the third Monday of January. King was an influential civil rights leader — best known for his work on racial equality and ending racial segregation in the United States. We celebrate his life and achievements and reflect on the work that still needs to be done for racial equality. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a federal holiday that encourages Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. In 1994, Congress passed the King Holiday and Service Act, making Martin Luther King Jr. Day the only federal holiday dedicated to volunteerism.

Current OPPORTUNTY: VCS Volunteer Counselor Training is for people who are interested in becoming a volunteer VCS counselor.

Wall Street's Best Connected Legal Executive Recruiter ~ Retained Search for Impactful Law Department Leaders ~ dmastrocola@mlaglobal.com
On Monday in the U.S., we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, honoring his legacy as a vital civil rights leader. Dr. King famously said, "Life's most persistent question is: What are you doing for others?" MLK Day is a National Day of Service, encouraging us to carry forth his dream by making a positive impact in our communities. Some ideas: • Engage with your local community organizations and create constructive action around causes you care about. • Reach out to mentor a young person and help guide the next generation of leaders. • Volunteer at a food bank or shelter to help those struggling with housing and food insecurity. • Organize or join neighborhood cleanup efforts at public parks and recreation spaces. • Provide pro bono or low-cost legal services to those who need them. • Share your knowledge and skills by giving free talks at law schools, bar associations, community centers, or high schools. Every contribution counts, big or small. Let's honor Dr. King's spirit by serving others with purpose. #MLKDay #Service #Community #Equality #Justice

🌟 Honoring the Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 🌟 Today, we reflect on the enduring impact of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s powerful legacy. His unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and nonviolent activism continues to inspire us all. Let's use this day as a catalyst for positive change and a reminder that the fight for equality is far from over. Here are some powerful ways we can honor his memory and contribute to the ongoing struggle for justice: 1️⃣ EDUCATE: Take the time to learn about the history of civil rights movements and the ongoing challenges faced by marginalized communities. Knowledge is power, and understanding the past is crucial to creating a better future. 2️⃣ AMPLIFY: Use your platform to amplify the voices of those fighting against injustice. Share stories, resources, and organizations dedicated to creating a more equitable world. 3️⃣ ENGAGE: Engage in uncomfortable but necessary conversations about racism and inequality. It's only through open dialogue that we can begin to dismantle systemic injustices. 4️⃣ ACT: Take meaningful action in your community. Whether it's volunteering, donating, or advocating for policy change, every effort counts towards building a more just society. Let's honor Dr. King's legacy not just in words, but in meaningful action.

Transforming Organizations through EX and Talent Development, Strategic Change Management, and Empowered Leadership
MLK Day is the only federal holiday that has been designated as a National Day of Service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. Today, I encourage you to confront injustice, however immense or daunting it may seem, and do good - in whatever ways you can: whether it be volunteering your time and skills, forming coalitions, facilitating community conversations, calling your representatives, signing a petition, or speaking up on behalf of those whose voices have been diminished, dismissed, or silenced. Keeping Dr. King's legacy alive requires more than just quoting (and, as is unfortunately more often the case, *mis*quoting) him once per year. Be the change you want to see in this world - today, tomorrow, and into the future.
