IT'S GIVING TUESDAY! Today is always The Congregation of Every 1's largest single day fundraiser of the year.Our work directly benefits individuals that need help when they need it - we actively find people where they are and give them goods they need to survive. More than that we give them respect, we treat them like people, we talk to them and listen, and let them know someone cares about them, which even in the cold, life-threatening conditions we find today may be the most important thing to help keep someone going another day.Simply click on the link below to our PayPal non-profit profile to donate.Our goal this year is to reach $10,000 (enough for supplies for 200 SurvivalPaks, one month's delivery).Every dollar you give goes to the survival packs as we are a ZERO OVERHEAD, 100% VOLUNTEER non-profit.#givingtuesday #charity #homelesssupport #detroit https://lnkd.in/g2vqPan4

Use this time to talk with woven family and get commitments of support, not empty words.What programs can each of you contribute to, even if a little bit?Make a plan, pool resources, and donate.This might require a brief internet search beforehand:Check your local and regional tribes’ needs. What public-facing programs do they note? What holiday drives are they promoting?Don’t know where to start? Below are two ways to learn more about Indigenous communities in your area. ***Do not assume because tribes and nations were forcibly relocated they’re now “gone”***[Regional example: Wenatchee area tribes]1. Look at local university land acknowledgements. Make them useful for tangible actions!2. https://native-land.ca- While not perfect, it can be a solid start.——Other options——Below are two Indigenous organizations my family has supported and continues to: my daughter already selected someine’s wish list for the CRYP yesterday evening. 1. Cheyeaane River Youth Project - Lakota (Cheyanne River Sioux) organization https://lnkd.in/gYupmNrh2.

My personal philanthropy has a primary focus on the human rights of children and young people. Which is understandable when you hear my own story of childhood abuse and neglect. I strongly believe that every child deserves to be loved, safe and able to thrive, no matter where they were born. I also believe that this is the responsibility of the whole community - not just the biological parents. That is why I chose to apply to be a Trustee for Hope and Homes for Children and it was an absolute honour to be selected for this huge responsibility. As such, I have had the privilege to see the positive results of their incredible work, but there is so much more to be done.Sadly, at least 5.4million children are currently separated from their families, shut away inside orphanages, and staggeringly 80% are not even orphans. Orphanages are not the safe place we have been led to believe by decades of well meaning charity work and philanthropy. It is well researched and demonstrated that orphanages expose children to abuse, trafficking, and physical and psychological trauma that can last a lifetime. 📖🔬here is just one study https://lnkd.in/ejxvhEk7No child should end up in an orphanage. There is ALWAYS a better solution.Today is the UN #InternationalDayofFamilies and this marks the launch of HHC’s campaign #BacktoFamily. It’s an incredible and well thought out campaign, using #AI to protect the rights of children. What can you do to help get children out of harms way today - i’ve made an easy list below (with a little help from the team at HHC) 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐💛 Please share this poignant message from Kristin Scott Thomas💛 Sign the petition www.backtofamily.org 💛 Donate https://lnkd.in/eJDgcu8R💛 Attend one of HHC’s fab eventshttps://lnkd.in/eH8BbyPT💛 Challenge yourself and fundraise as a bonus!https://lnkd.in/eH8BbyPT💛 Follow HHC and share their posts on social media - this is a social movement to protect the rights of the most vulnerable children 💛 Join their mailing list to stay up to date https://lnkd.in/efzc4dAz At the very least I encourage you to take a look at their website and learn more about the harmful effects of orphanages, what the alternative is and how #philanthropy has a catalytic role to play in this social movement https://lnkd.in/egzS5ua5 ‼️Philanthropy should be about learning, so if you have been funding an orphanage and want to learn what you can do to help those children please get in touch with me today xx ‼️#BackToFamily #socialmovement #artificialintelligence #AIforgoodhttps://lnkd.in/edyeVuQr

Acquiring the top talent in your industry can be daunting. But with the right people executing a thoughtful and cohesive strategy, improving your organization through talent acquisition is within reach! I'm looking forward to a great discussion with quite an accomplished group of talent leaders who will help inform that roadmap for success! (we can discuss why I'm on the panel afterward 🤣)
