Understanding your rights and obligations allows you to make informed decisions during mediation. It helps you advocate for yourself effectively, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you comply with your legal obligations. This knowledge empowers you to negotiate and reach a fair resolution that aligns with your best interests.

Today, we celebrate the cornerstone of our society: the right of the people to choose their leaders. Democracy is not just a system of government; it promises freedom, equality, and the opportunity for every voice to be heard. At WAAW Foundation, we believe that true democracy flourishes when all members of society, including girls and women, are empowered to contribute to their fullest potential. The right to quality education is fundamental, and it is through education that we can uplift communities, foster innovation, and create leaders who will champion good governance. Therefore we urge us all to reaffirm our commitment to protecting and advancing the rights of girls and women. Their involvement as key decision-makers is essential for a just and prosperous society. Let's build a future where every individual has the opportunity to thrive and where our leaders are dedicated to serving with integrity, vision, and compassion. Happy Democracy Day from WAAW Foundation!

#Juneteenth isn't the day the Emancipation Proclamation was signed--that was January 1, 1863. Juneteenth is actually the day that the news of slavery having ended reached the westernmost slave populations of Galveston Bay, Texas via Union Army troops--that was June 19th, 1865. Yep, you read that correctly: There was more than a two-year gap between the folks in charge issuing a fancy piece of paper, and some of this country's slaves in actually getting to benefit from its significance. I could spend my post today talking about how I desperately wish more corporate communications leads had done their research before posting on their social channels today (and boy, do I want to), but I'll use my energy instead to say this: Great ideas will never work unless they're communicated, relevant, and actually adopted. This #holiday, I hope all companies realize that programs targeting equity and inclusion don't have to be just symbolic, but they will quickly become so if they're just a bunch of fancy words on paper. Those companies—far too many in my opinion—who’ve abandoned or significantly reduced their investment in DEI initiatives clearly don’t realize that movements take time. Juneteenth is a perfect holiday to reflect on the urgency of the project of freedom as well as the reality that just because the impact is small now, the impact is still important. It must exist in the micro to be able to spread to the macro. That’s my hope today: that more companies will decide to commit to the long-term change. That they’ll commit to do more, to do better, and at the very least, commit to still doing. #HistoryLesson #diversity #DEI #dobetter #corporatecommunications

Juneteenth National Independence Day was signed into law as a national holiday on June 17, 2021. The holiday celebrates the date of June 19, 1865, when slaves in Galveston, Texas learned of their freedom, which had been granted by the Jan. 1, 1863, Emancipation Proclamation but which was not enforceable until the end of the Civil War. The holiday is often celebrated with parades, family reunions, speeches, and eating specific red foods.

A little bit of interesting history for you today June 19th, 1865, when Union soldiers landed at Galveston, Texas, confirming the war's end and ensuring the freedom of all enslaved individuals. Though the Emancipation Proclamation was a beacon of hope in 1863, it took over two years for its promises to be realised in Texas, the last state of the Confederacy with institutional slavery. As we commemorate this pivotal moment in history, let's reflect on the journey towards equality and justice. The resilience and courage of those freed on Juneteenth continue to inspire. Let's honour their legacy by fostering inclusivity and championing diversity in our workplaces and communities. Yet, as we celebrate progress, let us also acknowledge the road ahead. The pursuit of justice is ongoing, and we must commit ourselves to creating a future where opportunity and freedom are not just ideals but realities for all. This Juneteenth, take time to educate, to celebrate, and to act. Whether through community service, participating in events, or simply broadening our collective understanding—every effort counts in honouring this significant day in history. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #Equality

Here The Tudor Trust as we develop our work plan alongside our ongoing transformation, we are publishing a series of blogs to increase our visibility and transparency. This first one is about our approach to racial justice. When applied to systems thinking, and to challenging a scarcity mindset, we want to understand how racial justice could be a lens through which to build thriving communities for the benefit of everyone. https://lnkd.in/eGGHuuvC

On June 19, 1865, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation ended slavery in the United States, Union Soldiers arrived in Galveston Texas to free more than 250,000 Americans who were still enslaved. #Juneteenth celebrates this day, marking our country's second independence day when all Americans were granted freedom from enslavement. Though Black Americans gained their basic right to freedom on this day, institutional racism still impacts the lives of Black Americans. Urban planning decisions such as redlining, interstate development, and the siting of polluting industries, still overwhelmingly impact lower income and predominantly Black communities. These past decisions decrease health, opportunity, and the freedoms to life, liberty, justice and equality we hold to be self-evident. There is still much to do to eliminate #environmentalracism in America. We believe that everyone deserves clean and safe places to live, work, and play. Through the assessment and cleanup of brownfields, we help transform sites that once perpetuated environmental injustice into spaces that benefit communities. CCLR is committed to continuing the fight for racial justice and equity in the communities we support.

Celebrating Thurgood Marshall's Legacy: Building Bridges for a More Just Future Today, on Thurgood Marshall's birthday, we honor the trailblazing Supreme Court Justice whose unwavering commitment to equality shattered racial barriers in the legal system. This powerful quote by Justice Marshall reminds us that the fight for justice extends beyond legal victories. It's about building bridges, fostering empathy, and embracing our shared humanity. "The legal system can force open doors, and sometimes-even knock down walls, but it cannot build bridges. That job belongs to you and me. The country can't do it. Afro and White, rich and poor, educated and illiterate, our fates are bound together. We can run from each other, but we cannot escape each other. We will only attain freedom if we learn to appreciate what is different, and muster the courage to discover what is fundamentally the same. America's diversity offers so much richness and opportunity. Take a chance, won't you? Knock down the fences, which divide. Tear apart the walls that imprison you. Reach out. Freedom lies just on the other side. We shall have liberty for all." These words hold profound meaning in today's world. As we strive for a more just and equitable society, let's commit to: 🔷 Breaking down barriers: Challenge biases and advocate for inclusive workplaces and communities. 🔷 Promoting understanding: Engage in open dialogue and celebrate our differences. 🔷 Working together: Collaborate to create a future where opportunity thrives for all. Justice Marshall's legacy is a powerful call to action. Let's honor his work by building bridges and reaching for a brighter future, together. #WeCanDoBetter #ThurgoodMarshall #CivilRights #JusticeForAll #DiversityMatters #InclusionWorks
