Great lessons to absorb from this informative #webinar hosted by @NewIntelectualsNetwork Isidora Kolar on the media campaign of #Argentina’s President #JavierMilei by his creative friend and publicist @SantiagoOria. Quick summary take away on lessons learned — which can be applied to not only candidate campaigns but to issue campaigns as well. 1) Having an infrastrucuture in place boosts a campaign quicker; 2) Effective use of social and digital media proves that an outsider (David) can beat the establishment machine (Goliath); and 3) The Anti-Vote can be mightier sword (or chainsaw:)) than the Pro-Vote. #NewIntelectualsNetwork #LibertyMovement #NonprofitLeadership #LeadershipInsights #LessonsLearned #Milei #MileiCampaign #Argentina #Liberty #Freedom Alexander McCobin Linda Schulte Francisco Gonzalez Alex Chafuen Lorenzo Montanari Pablo Dono Jonas Torrico Stephanie Lips Izabela Patriota Kevin Comer https://lnkd.in/eVfKyuhc

I appeal to all my LinkedIn followers to watch this video about The Resilience and Challenges of the Jewish People and the Jewish State of Israel 🇮🇱 In today's complex global landscape, the Jewish community and the State of Israel continue to face significant challenges and demonstrate remarkable resilience. This video highlights the multifaceted issues that the Jewish people contend with, from rising anti-Semitism and security threats to the ongoing pursuit of peace and coexistence. Back in 2013, Lord Sacks MHDSRIP eloquently addressed these challenges. As we find ourselves in 2024, it is disheartening to see that the same issues persist. This video serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring struggles and the unwavering spirit of the Jewish community. The horrific events of October 7th, where over 1,200 people were murdered and more than 200 were abducted, with some already confirmed dead, underscore the grave security challenges Israel faces. These tragedies are a stark reminder of the constant vigilance required to protect and defend the Jewish State. Security Concerns: Constant vigilance against threats and ensuring the safety of citizens remains a top priority for Israel. This includes dealing with external threats and internal security challenges. Cultural and Religious Preservation: The Jewish community worldwide works tirelessly to preserve its rich cultural and religious heritage, amidst a backdrop of increasing anti-Semitic incidents. Innovation and Progress: Despite these challenges, Israel stands out as a beacon of innovation, contributing significantly to technology, medicine, and environmental solutions. Diplomatic Efforts: The Jewish State engages in continuous diplomatic efforts to build and maintain peaceful relations with neighboring countries and the international community. As we reflect on Lord Sacks' words from over a decade ago, let's recognize the ongoing resilience of the Jewish people and renew our commitment to supporting and standing in solidarity with them. #JewishCommunity #Israel #Resilience #Security #Innovation #Peace #LordSacks https://lnkd.in/eksgFJHG

4 songs in search of Peace in 2024: (1) Da Pacem Domine. Wars and armed conflicts around the world have generated so many horrors in 2023 -- and our hearts want to break in a thousand pieces for the innocent victims, the women, the children.... This song explores a basic question -- can we as a species find a way to live peacefully with each other -- or is our only hope that some external force, a deity perhaps, intervenes on our behalf and brings us together in Peace? https://lnkd.in/gD6cwkxE

Starting the year with an old video of the late and inspirational Zukisani Ngadlela, where he shares about his approach to building both a career and a family. It contains some nuggets on how to manage one's ambition. Compliments of the new year and may His grace and mercies be our pillar. https://lnkd.in/dhmzgFUw

If you are attending the Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS) Conference in Houston, check out my presentation if you are curious about radical and alternative ways to healing colonial mentality/internalized oppression in the diaspora. Session Description: The purpose of this panel is to provide space for critical discourse on Filipina/x/o identity and empowerment in the United States when we choose to be in solidarity with Indigenous communities. This panel will focus on the colonial History of Hawaiʻi, the United States involvement in the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy, the context of Hawaiʻi within United States imperialist expansion experiences of Filipina/x/os in Hawaiʻi and implications to contemporary social and ethnic challenges in Hawaiʻi. This panel will provide open discourse on Filipina/x/os in Hawaiʻi who developed a critical consciousness about the historical and contemporary injustices against the Indigenous Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians) in United States occupied Hawaiʻi and subsequently, how we have navigated our ethnic and Filipina/x/o identities that are often in conflict with the indigenous people of Hawaiʻi. We will hear the stories of Filipina/x/os in Hawaiʻi in different contexts of solidarity with the aims of envisioning empowerment as Filipina/x/os that resists the legacies of United States colonization and illegal occupation. This panel will also discuss opportunities for Filipina/x/o empowerment that aligns to the efforts of decolonization and empowerment of all oppressed peoples. The oppression of Palestinians by systemic policies and violence by Israel will be discussed as a way for justice and a pathway for Filipina/x/o empowerment. #FANHSConference2024 #EncompassingOurJourneys
