This year’s theme for International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia is “no one left behind: equality, freedom and justice for all.” For us at Langara, this is a principle that is etched into the fabric of our learning practices. The Pride flag waves on our campus, rain or shine. It’s a reminder of our commitment to 2SLGBTQIA+ members, and a reminder that everyone belongs. As allies, here are a few things we can do today, and every day: - Learn about what 2SLGBTQIA+ means and how a person may identify. - Reflect on how you can help, even if it’s as small as asking for pronouns when you first meet someone - Be aware of when to take up space and listen Together, let’s uplift, and celebrate the richness of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and work towards a future where all individuals can thrive and love, free from fear and discrimination.

The United Nations General Assembly designated February 20th as the annual World Day of Social Justice, starting from the sixty-third session of the General Assembly, in a declaration made on November 26, 2007. There are five main principles of social justice that are paramount to understanding the concept better. Namely, these are access to resources, equity, participation, diversity, and human rights. #socialjustic #palestinelivesmatter #equality #Ghaza #love #humanrights #justice #justiceforghaza #childreofghaza #socialjustice #uninpak #genocideingaza

Today is the first day of #HumanRightsMonth. Following the death, despair and complete disregard of human lives during World War II, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948. The #DEI conversation is incomplete without a clear understanding of human rights. The international amplification around anti-violence, anti-discrimination, #equality and social justice brought about by human rights awareness, plays a key role in shaping DEI values. To know more about aligning your organisation to international standards of human rights and embarking on the DEI journey, write to us at [email protected] #Serein #humanrights #diversityandinclusion #inclusion #diversity

The World has just celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights — a document that is much more than a cornerstone of international law: it is a guide to navigate a deeply divided world, a set of values that everyone can live by, and ultimately a force for good. And yet, we know that “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights” represents a promise not yet fulfilled — for LGBTIQ+ people across the world, and for everyone experiencing the suffocating impact on their lives of diverse layers of inequalities. This year’s IDAHOBIT theme is a call for unity: only through solidarity for each other will we create a world without injustice, where no one is left behind.

Non-Profit Consultant | 2024 Future of Good Young Impact Leader | Empowering Equity-Seeking Leaders | Grassroots Community Engagement | Grant Writing
I left X (formerly known as Twitter) earlier this year. I had 3K followers, and had spent 10 years building a network and my platform as a non-profit leader, #feminist, historian, and advocate for #socialjustice. But as a bisexual + neurodivergent cis woman, I saw how that space stopped being a productive and healthy use of my time. I saw harassment rapidly increasing, and given that one of my main issues is health equity for those who identify as women, it became extremely toxic 🙅♀️ I hope to see more #nonprofit organizations and colleagues leaving X over the next year. It’s not serving us to give that space our best thoughts and energy. I used to be able to connect with activists and academics across the world on there, but now? Everything that made it work for me is gone. If it’s not safe for #2SLGBTQIA+ community members, it’s not safe for any of us. Non profit leaders can intentionally choose how we communicate and where 📝 If you’re curious how to effectively use different communication tools to advocate on behalf of your org’s mission, Dumbo Octopus Consulting can help. Advocacy plans and public/gov relations are one of our specialties, because we understand how to speak to different audiences and what is possible within the current and future political landscape. We know how to engage different stakeholders and build consensus. Reach out to me if you want to chat more about how we can help! #advocacy #nonprofit #consulting #queer #bravespace #governmentrelations
Egale Canada has made the decision to close our account on X (formerly known as Twitter). With the ongoing rise in anti-2SLGBTQI hate, and lack of policies in place on this platform to protect against harassment, vitriol and hate, we are no longer able to provide a safe space for our communities to engage here. Therefore, we encourage our communities to engage with us on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, or TikTok where we will continue our work to stand up for 2SLGBTQI people and advocate for human rights and equality. We can be found at @EgaleCanada on all of these platforms. Read our statement: https://lnkd.in/gWiq5A_d

How are you taking action this Juneteenth? Juneteenth is not just a day to celebrate freedom but also a call to action. It’s a reminder that the fight for equality is far from over. Today, I challenge you to: 1. Educate yourself about the history and significance of Juneteenth. 2. Support Black-owned businesses and initiatives. 3. Advocate for policies that promote racial equity. Together, we can make a meaningful impact. # Juneteenth #takeaction #supportblackbusinesses #racialequity
