Language Justice Matters! 🗣️ Our ED, Bri, is shedding light on the critical importance of language justice in the 2024 presidential campaign. Language justice is using words that respect and affirm the dignity of all individuals, especially those are that justice impacted. The harmful rhetoric currently being used in campaigns perpetuates negative stereotypes and does not serve our communities. Justice-impacted people in Georgia, you CAN vote. Let’s shift the narrative and ensure our voices are heard in this election. . . . . . . #LanguageJustice #BreakTheStigma #JusticeImpacted #VotingRights #ChangeTheNarrative #Empowerment #CriminalJusticeReform #EndTheLabel #InclusiveLanguage #Vote2024 #EqualityForAll #SocialJustice #EveryVoteCounts #GeorgiaVotes #VoiceForJustice #RespectAndDignity #PoliticalDiscourse #CommunityPower #StandWithUs #MakeAChange #BarredBusiness #JusticeForAll

🌐💬 Isn’t the internet a great place? Open, public, egalitarian. Everyone has a platform and can speak freely. Except…communication rights online are often not well protected. Surveillance, hate speech, restricted access, platforms driven by profit, these are some of the challenges impacting public media and communication for all. Look for our Just Digital course launching on Tuesday to learn more about action you can take to promote communication for all online and create democratic digital spaces. — #JustDigital is a collaboration between WACC Global, Evangelische Mission Weltweit (EMW) and World Council of Churches #DigitalJustice #DigitalJusticeChampion #CommunicationRights #SafeDigital #ELearning #OnlineCourses

Should it be so, that reputations are built, yet communication towards gender-based violence as inappropriate behavior in society, and strongly creating awareness, boosting self-esteem, and self-love among the youth in places like Chorkor still remains low.

As we celebrate “World Public Relations Day” today, let’s not forget “CSR”. Let us tailor our communication skills to resolving this confusion about gender-based violence in the land of Chorkor.
