Violence that impacts youth is a major issue and is a enormous societal problem underpinned by multiple causes and it is important to address these underlying causes through a combination of measures, including education, social support, community programs, and police efforts, to prevent and reduce knife crime the multiagency approach is fully necessary and a mutual understanding between each is necessary for that to happen. The third sector is critical in fitting in the middle of the public services and members of the public. As a society we really need massive reforms and interventions to address all the casual factors such as poverty, inequality, racism and discrimination, lack of opportunities, social and family exclusion. Young people need to be loved. I welcome the ban of zombie knives as it was simple too easy to access these types of knives: The easy availability of knives facilitated knife crime for too long. This alone is not the solution and there is so much more to do. At The Safety Box CIC we take it very seriously and fight for children to stay safe and protected, even when it’s hard for the public sector to do what they need to do due to budget constraints. I was deeply touched when a distraught mother reached out to us, tears streaming down her face 😭, unsure if her son would become another victim of violence. It broke my heart to see the lack of appropriate support available to her child. I couldn't ignore her desperate plea for help, which is why I decided to take action and launch a fundraiser. Our goal is to provide the necessary interim support and resources to ensure the safety and well-being of this child until they can find an appropriate move. I humbly request the support and assistance of all my friends and associates in this endeavor. Together, we can make a significant difference in the life of this vulnerable young person. Your contribution, no matter how small, will have a profound impact on their present and future. Let us come together as a community to show compassion and provide the support that is desperately needed. Join us in this important project and let's change a life for the better. https://gofund.me/c7db675f

It’s not about picking sides 🙏🏼 If we foster a culture of intolerance, use visual and verbal cues that show them in a negative light, and incite people to pick sides and empathize lesser; it will not make street dogs disappear nor reduce the problem of attacks. Being vocal about animals and animal abuse is not equivalent to lacking empathy for those who have been bitten or those who are genuinely scared. Street dogs are born hungry, fearful, untrusting, unvaccinated & unwanted but is this the solution? Should we divide society into dog haters and lovers or learn to coexist using humane methods? Should we sensitize people about their nature and behavior or incite phobia? Better than using this spray would be to carry dog biscuits in your bag. That will 1000x be more effective and useful than this. 🙏🏼 #behumanetoanimals

Some councils have turned into the fun police, aiming to ban stoves, barbecues, pets, and just about everything that makes a house a home. 🙄 How about we let kids run lemonade stands without a council officer showing up with a clipboard? 🍋 And seriously, how we cook our food should be none of your local councils' business! #LiberateNSW #CouncilElections2024

2moThe price of food in NYC, especially Manhattan, has increased to the point where the amount of SNAP is insufficient. SNAP has to keep pace and increase the amount by at least 50 percent. Just DO IT!
