One of our organizational values is Justice, and on Juneteenth we'd like to recognize the meaning of justice within our organization: “We are well aware that the social, political, and financial biases of humans make the balance of justice easy for some and very difficult for many. The scales of justice, be it legal or social, have a heavy human hand on one side of the scale that many do not have the resources to gain the supportive weight needed to offset the preconceived attitudes toward them. We see the shelter and its staff as the balancing force needed to help people get the fairness they deserve.” As you commemorate, celebrate, or reflect upon the significance of Juneteenth today, we want to recognize our team for their devotion to all our values, and our mission. They are on the frontlines of so many social and spiritual issues at St. John’s Ministries, and it is important to slow down and consider how all this weaves into the greater moral issues of our time.

#CommunityEngagement is a term widely used yet has vastly different interpretations. In my very biased opinion, to be effective agents of social change, it is important for us to recognize that we ALL ARE COMMUNITY MEMBERS and we each have beautifully diverse talents, skills, resources, power and influence that must be woven together to achieve our shared goals. When we engage with one another, for GHI, it means far more than transactional interactions or checking a box. It means earning trust, being in fellowship, developing an understanding of nuance, not shying away from tough conversations and centering those who are most effected by the inequities we aspire to eliminate. I offer a glimpse into who I am, where I have been and how I aspire to lead as an arbiter of GHI's community engagement efforts with hopes that you each will allow me to learn from your wisdom. #healthequity #maternalhealth #ruralhealth #advocacy #organizing #ittakesavillage #foundation

Celebrating a Legacy of Innovation and Progress: As a US citizen and a Scotsman, I want to recognize the courageous Scotsmen who signed the Declaration of Independence. Their bold move not only helped shape America's future but also reflects the very essence of Scottish culture - a spirit of innovation, a thirst for progress, and a passion for making a difference. The seven Scottish signers - John Witherspoon, James Wilson, John Morton, James Armstrong, George Ross, George Taylor, and Matthew Thornton - embodied the Scottish values that have driven innovation and progress for centuries: - A willingness to challenge the status quo - A courage to take risks - A commitment to improving the human experience These values have fueled Scotland's contributions and they're the same values that have led to America's innovation and progress. As we celebrate Independence Day on July 4th, let's keep writing the next chapter in the story of innovation and progress! #ScottishPride #AmericanIndependence #DeclarationOfIndependence #USHistory #ScottishHeritage #Innovation #Progress #Advocacy #Leadership
