As we observe Memorial Day, we are reminded of the profound sacrifices made by countless men and women in uniform who have dedicated their lives to protecting our freedoms. This day is not just a long weekend; it is a solemn tribute to the valor and dedication of our servicemembers who have paid the ultimate price for the values we hold dear. Their courage and commitment are at the heart of what many refer to as American Exceptionalism. This notion encompasses the idea that the United States, founded on principles of liberty, democracy, and equality, holds a unique place in history. It suggests that our country has a distinct role in advancing freedom and justice around the world. American Exceptionalism is not merely a boastful claim; it is a call to action. It compels us to uphold the ideals that our fallen heroes fought for, ensuring that their legacy lives on through our actions and policies. It challenges us to strive for excellence, to innovate, and to lead with integrity and compassion on the global stage. As we enjoy the freedoms and opportunities provided by living in this exceptional nation, let’s take a moment to honor those who made it possible. May we remember that the bedrock of our exceptionalism is built upon the sacrifices of those who served. #memorialday #armedforces #investing #insurance

Today I preached on Micah's ancient vision of just peace--not just the absence of violence and fear, but the presence of livelihoods, shelter, food, and security. Swords into ploughshares. I invited celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights-. Rights are the foundation of justice and peace. Weseek not just the absence of war, but the presence of human rights. Today we remember those who died pursuing human rights, who were murdered for following after the things that make for peace. May they be present in our hearts and in the struggle for rights to be made real. In every war across our globe we need not just ceasefire, although this is a most necessary beginning, but we need the progressive realization of human rights. We need the things that make for peace, that sustain peace. In this pursuit, we have work to do everywhere. May we continue to seek what these visions, ancient and modern, strive to inspire. #UDHR75. https://lnkd.in/gQNcSaeA

🌟 Community Solutions, Inc. celebrates Juneteenth! 🌟 On June 19, 1865, Union troops announced in Galveston, Texas, that all enslaved African Americans were free. This day, known as Juneteenth, marks a pivotal moment in history—emancipation from slavery in the U.S. Our CEO Fernando Muñiz reflects, “Juneteenth commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. It is a celebration of freedom and a reminder that the moral arc of the universe bends toward justice. This Juneteenth, we recommit ourselves to the work of equity and justice.” As an organization working in the criminal and juvenile justice systems, Community Solutions, Inc. is dedicated to ensuring that justice is not delayed for the people we serve. Our mission is to ensure that when individuals gain physical freedom, they also experience every other measure of freedom. Only then will we have achieved our true goal as a nonprofit organization committed to serving historically marginalized populations. Let’s honor this day by continuing to strive for a more just and equitable society. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #EquityAndJustice #CelebrateFreedom

Whew, Caroline A. Wanga hitting them high notes we need to hear. The quote she references of Dr. Martin Luther King is, by far, my favorite and it goes like this: "We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society, when machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism and militarism are incapable of being conquered." As I'm continuing to notice how much materialism, capitalism, greed and frankly just having nice things consumes are very being... I often wonder "What would we do if capitalism went away?" What are we all willing to give up to ensure those without basic needs like clean water, life-saving healthcare, shelter and nourishing food have these things? How would this society behave if the government just decided no one would go without and ERRYBODY is getting a universal basic income? 🤔 QUOTE: "The norm that every abled person receiving cash payments should be seeking a job can also be challenged. First, holding a job is not the only form of work. Taking care of children and elders is work—work that is performed mostly by women without compensation. A basic income is a way of supporting and recognizing that work without intrusive state monitoring and reinforcement of gendered division of labor." https://lnkd.in/g4iDxdxN Anyway, this is just the early morning musings of someone who seriously wonders if this society can literally put their money where their mouth is when it comes to caring for its people.

At the invitation of Minnesota Governor #TimWalz and Minnesota Lieutenant Governor #PeggyFlanagan and #Minnesota Chief Equity Officer #DrStephanieBurrage … I had the opportunity to remind the residents of the State of #MN of what they are capable of building by the examples of Houston White and I. As a part of the #OneDreamOneMinnesota #DrMartinLutherKing event, I referenced the 1967 #MLK quote below and connected it to how community has the ability to hold young dreams at risk of being deferred, until they manifest as dreams undeterred, if we can each deprioritize self-preservation and prioritize seeing those that are finding themselves as part of creating change in the world. “We must rapidly begin the shift from a “thing-oriented” society to a “person-oriented” society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.” - #MartinLutherKingJr. (1967) Special thanks to Greg Cunningham, MBA #USBank for making space for the gathering.

As we observe Juneteenth, the AAMC recognizes the significance of this day in American history and the importance of reflecting on our collective journey toward equality. June 19 marks the true end of slavery in the United States, a crucial moment when Major General Gordon Granger and Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation. Yet, nearly 160 years later, we continue to strive for the fundamental promise of ‘liberty and justice for all.’ Systemic change requires more than new rules; it demands personal accountability, education, courage, and the willingness to engage in difficult conversations. We must unlearn long-held societal norms and confront the ways historical injustices shape today's inequalities. As Frederick Douglass wisely noted, “The life of the nation is secure only while the nation is honest, truthful, and virtuous.” Let us seize this moment to commit to creating a future where equity and justice are realities for all. #Juneteenth #Equity #AcademicMedicine #SocialJustice
