This #GivingTuesday2023, we've set a goal at Disability Victory: raise $5,000 towards launching Disability Victory Academy in 2024. The Academy will be the first accessible, multi-week campaign training cohort led by and created for disabled progressives. We know this is an ambitious goal: it's more than we've raised in one day of small-dollar donations since we launched earlier this year. But we believe we can do it! Just who are the disabled progressive leaders we are training at Disability Victory? A few months ago, we conducted a survey to learn more about disabled progressives, and we learned that they are ready to get on the campaign trail, focused on campaigning in their communities, and already have experience that primes them for leadership. Please help us reach our goal this GivingTuesday. Your gift will make a major impact in our work to build a bench of disabled progressive leaders in 2024 and beyond. https://lnkd.in/e-YeWGa2 #Disability #Leadership #Accessibility

Today is #InternationalDayOfPersonsWithDisabilities - promoting an understanding of disability issues and mobilizing support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities. For too long, people with disabilities have been forced to the fringes of society by a world set up for able-bodied people. Even today, people with disabilities report facing numerous challenges in even the fundamentals such as housing and employment. Learn more about the day: https://lnkd.in/exe_53zJ #AbilityNotDisability #DisabledLivesMatter ------------------------------------------------ Check out the Awareness Days Calendar on aDoddle.org - Discover what's coming up in the next few months and at the same time why not search the Community Map to find amazing charities and community groups in your local area 🙂 https://lnkd.in/eB8dKfQE #Community #Charity #Awareness #CommunityMap 🗺️ #AwarenessDays

There's another Independence Day that we celebrate: July 26th. Thirty-four years ago, a second Independence Day was established on July 26. National Disability Independence Day celebrates the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which expands the rights and prohibits discrimination of the disabled community. Even with the passing of the ADA, many people with disabilities still experience tremendous barriers to employment. Enter Goodwill. At Goodwill of Greater Washington, more than 250 team members have a disability. They are provided competitive wages, access to health and retirement benefits, a Caring Fund to address emergency needs, as well as RISE Coaches to help them navigate resources and systems to remove barriers to achieving success at work and beyond! In honor of National Disability Independence Day, please support Goodwill’s life-changing programs by making a one-time or recurring donation. This will give more neighbors with disabilities the freedom and independence to improve their lives. Make a difference: https://lnkd.in/eMuCPduJ #ADA #Goodwill #DCGoodwill #Community #Impact #Local #Nonprofit #GiveBack #GivingBack #WorkforceDevelopment

Former Small Business owerner Currently a Volunteer Crisis Counselor working to save one life at a time
I have some more data about Suicide, Suicide Prevention, and the ASFP to share. To motivate you to share too and I hope donate to my Walk Page. October 6, 2024 is the NYC Chapter Out of Darkness Walk. It will start the NYC Seaport Pier 16 & 17 in the Seaport District. The event opens at 10AM. The walk starts at 11:30AM AFSP is the largest private funder of suicide prevention research. Much of what is known about suicide today comes from AFSP funded studies. Research priority areas include diversity, technological tools for suicide prevention, and survivors of suicide loss. School programs: It’s Real (middle school, high school & college); More Than Sad (school staff & parents). Community programs: Talk Saves Lives – an introductory suicide prevention presentation. Modules available for LGBTQ+ Communities, Black/African American Communities, Latinx & Hispanic Communities, Seniors, Workplaces, Correction Facilities, the Construction Industry,and Firearm Owners. I have given the School and Community Programs and they are smart, powerful, and make a difference. If you're in NYC let me know if your organization, school, or community center would be interested in a program presentation. #suicide, #suicideprevention,
Please support the New York City Walk this fall to help #stopsuicide

As a result of my own painful experience, I am pleased to announce that I have become an Ambassador for Dads Matter (www.dadsmatter.org.uk). This amazing organisation supports fathers, children, and families who are trying to deal with Family Court battles, child maintenance issues, and high-conflict separations that can tear lives apart. No matter what people may say, in these days of supposed equality, the System positively discriminates against fathers; it does not care about your background. Throw-away allegations of domestic abuse, claims for non-molestation orders, and parental alienation are widespread and are typical of the issues which fathers have to contend with as well as being deprived of the chance to see their children. For too long, dads and their roles have been misunderstood and marginalised. But fathers are vital. They are anchors, role models, and disciplinarians. The exclusion of a father combined with constant parental alienation has a devastating impact on a child caught in the crossfire between warring parents. That's why Dads Matter matters. The ultimate goal is system change to establish a system which is absolutely fair and fit for purpose and we need your support. We have a programme of awareness and fundraising planned and we are gaining traction in the media. We fight for fair representation, accessible services, and, most importantly, the best interests of children. Join me in standing up for dads, children, and families. If you have a story to tell or need any help, please contact me. Share your story: Let's break the silence and build a community where dads can get the support they need. Use #DadsMatter to share your experiences. Donate: Every penny helps us provide resources and support to families in need. For details of our next event please have a look at https://lnkd.in/eUEbBssX Get informed: Follow Dads Matter on social media and our website www.dadsmatter.org for valuable resources, updates, and inspiring stories of strength and resilience. Together, we can ensure that every dad has the support and tools he needs to be the best father he can be, even in the toughest times. Because Dads Matter. Children Matter. Families Matter. #DadsMatter #FathersRights #FamilySupport #StrongerTogether www.dadsmatter.org.uk

As we approach 2024, we are laying the foundation to better serve and advocate for those with disabilities who are historically most underserved. Help us raise $35,000 towards emerging and expanded programs! Donate now at thecil.org/eoyg ✊🏼♿️ As the Center for Independent Living faces the next 50 years of advocacy, services, and programs, we’re strengthening our support of independent living for people with diverse disabilities. This includes those with less visible disabilities—including chronic illness, cognitive disabilities, neurodivergence, and severe mental health disabilities. In particular, we are laying the foundation to better serve and advocate for those with disabilities who are historically most underserved: those with disabilities experiencing racism, poverty, homo/transphobia, sexism, and criminalization. Those for whom the lack of disability rights and services result in particularly severe consequences such as homelessness, institutionalization, incarceration, and police violence. Most of the funding the CIL receives is very restricted. Through donor contributions we can develop this and other programs that fall outside of government funding. You can also contribute by liking or sharing this post to spread the word. Thank you for your continuous support! #CIL #CenterForIndependentLiving #AccessForAll #Donate #Fundraiser #NonProfit #Disability #DisabilityAwareness #Berkeley #Oakland #Alameda #AlamedaCounty [Image Description] Teal Graphic that reads "Access for All: Reaching and Advocating for Underserved People with Disabilities. Help us raise $35,000! thecil.org/donate" There are also three illustrations of people with different disabilities, including a blind homeless man, a woman with a crutch who's illustrated with squiggles to represent a mental health disability, and a man in a wheelchair who's wearing a shirt that says "inmate". The CIL logo is in the bottom right corner.
