Defunding the Left: The Strategy to Save America The Heritage Foundation 30 Apr 2024 Traditional values and the American way of life face a non-stop barrage from legions of activists on issues spanning from gender and sexuality, race, and the environment to foreign policy, science, culture, and many more. The federal government encourages and enables this by funneling billions upon billions of dollars each year to institutions controlled by the left. Academia, government “science” bureaucracies, and activist nonprofits are prime examples of sectors that the left has chosen as vessels to push their destructive ideologies. At a time of soaring budget deficits, a $34 trillion national debt, and persistently high inflation, Washington has an urgent need to find savings. Stopping the unaffordable and destructive federal support of leftist causes would simultaneously reduce deficits and political tensions.

Trauma-Informed Consultant for individuals & organizations to create empathetic, compassionate workplaces through a trauma-informed lens | Gender-based violence expert | Holistic trauma recovery & Reiki
Last night I lay down on the couch and gifted myself reading theory. This is the CCFWE's Submission on the creation of a potential coercive control offence in the context of intimate relationships. This paper raised really great points about the long-term impact of financial abuse and post-separation abuse, which includes withholding of child support. Financial abuse leaves long scars. https://lnkd.in/gyHReQix

Leadership in action.
I am pleased to share with the community my third intervention, on behalf of the BCAS, at the United Nations Permanent Forum on People of African Descent in Geneva, Switzerland. This address follows our successful convening of a Global Strategy Litigation and Advocacy Network launched earlier in the day. "Because we are here to disrupt the status quo, to dismantle the oppressive systems that have held us back for countless generations. We are here to ensure that the future does not mirror the injustices of the past”

Such an honour to spend time today with the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples José Francisco Calí Tzay at Te Āwhina Marae in Motueka. Jose was here to meet with descendants of the Nelson Tenths and learn more about the case. It was a privilege to sit alongside Meg Matthews, Horiana Irwin-Easthope, and Kerensa Johnston for a kōrero on what it means for our region and our country. If you're following my posts here, you'll know that I've been outspoken on this issue and drawing attention to what is happening. That is very deliberate and I will continue to do so until the whānau get a resolution to their prolonged battle. The failure to uphold the Nelson Tenths agreement is the greatest tragedy in the story of our region. It continues to be a struggle for those descendants, despite years of trying to resolve it and the Supreme Court ruling in their favour in 2017. Their story is not my story to tell. But that doesn't mean that our community gets to be bystanders on this issue. It's not just a historical issue; it's a present-day failure that continues to affect us all. Every day that goes by without a resolution is another day of missed opportunity for the region and one that perpetuates the harm of the disconnection from lands and the denial of justice. Understanding and rectifying this failure will bring enormous benefits to our region — culturally, socially, and economically. It will help us understand ourselves better, create a greater sense of belonging, and stimulate economic growth and investment in the region. We all stand to benefit from a resolution. Making the Tenths whole means making our community whole. There is no excuse to continue to delay justice. There is nothing to fear from resolution. Te Here-ā-Nuku | Making the Tenths Whole

Masters of Arts in Education, University of Toronto, 2019 Author, Activist. Information and Opportunity Broker.
I think that DEI initiatives have served as a reorientation tool for the concretized myth of white supremacy/whiteness in times of disorientation. Here, I am using the term orientation, as Sara Ahmed does in her article, A Phenomenology of Whiteness (2007), where she argues that we are all born into a white world, with white orientations, made white by colonialism. When whiteness adjusts or reorients from the disorientation, it neutralizes the potential/change/threat (i.e. affirmative action, DEI). An ongoing problem is that, we continue to strive within the framework/s of whiteness.
As I watch Equity departments, positions and funding get eliminated across Canada and the United States and the sharp rise of violence directed at racialized and Indigenous communities I cannot help but come back to Sara Ahmed's book titled 'On Being Included: Racism and Diversity on Institutional Life' as a reminder that many institutions have always and will always treat EDI as a public relations strategy. Even though so many have always seen it as a pathway to justice.
