Put away your outrage! Today is a day to celebrate! If the "current state" of our country makes that difficult for you, I want to challenge you with a perspective change. To many, and to far too many, the two men pictured dominate our opinions and view (got all versions of "to" in one sentence...YES!). But this nation is much bigger than the dichotomy of two octogenarians (or almost octo). Regardless of what side you reside, consider the following, even for just a moment: -Immigration: why is this even an issue in the United States? More people on this planet want to come here than any other country. Celebrate the fact we live in an amazing place where people WANT to come. That's the root of the issue. People in most countries don't have to even consider this conversation. As a bonus, take a moment to consider how you came to be here...probably eye opening to your immigrant origin story. -Any of the contentious topics being debated, especially those considered "rights": we live in a place characterized as the "land of the free". We're so accustomed to our freedoms that we don't realize how many people live without them. We are blessed to live in a country where discussion and opinions don't end in DISAPPEARANCE and DEATH. This is something to celebrate! -We are Americans. We love grilled meats and controlled explosions. We typically enjoy these with family, friends, and often large groups of strangers. We have way more in common than not. Celebrate the things that bring us together and make this nation great! Stop wasting time dwelling on the differences, even if just for today...who knows, you might like not being mad! Anger is easy. Challenge yourself to be better. Lead on purpose, celebrate your blessings, and Happy 4th!

Cooperatives are such an added value to our communities, ecomomy, cultures, and future. Cooperatives - center people first. What’s good for all involved, pooling resources together to spread the good, what are acts that have sustainable effects, instead of refractive effects, decisions that work to better lives, not strictly profit from them. Coops exist in so many facets of our lives. Whenever possible - choose a Co-op! • Credit Unions (don’t have outside stockholders - members are the collective shareholders - decisions benefit the members/membership) • Grocery Co-ops (like PCC, Central Co-op) • Home care co-ops • Electric Co-ops • Agricultural Co-ops • Retail co-ops (Ace Hardware) • Worker-Owner Co-op (growing trend among businesses where owners are aging out and selling business to employees collectively) • Housing Co-ops …. And much more. Worth celebrating. Wanna have a positive impact - join a Co-op!
Join us tomorrow as we celebrate the 102nd International Day of Cooperatives! Under the theme 'Cooperatives Building a Better Future for All', we'll showcase the sustainable contributions of cooperatives worldwide.

Staring at your screen wondering which speaker to pick for your next event? I've been there. I became the speaker agent that I needed back then!
Celebrate! What are we celebrating next around here? #JUNETEENTH (and #PRIDE month)...but let's talk Juneteenth today. It is a historical event that took a whole lot of #courage. As Michael W. Twitty reminds me often, TIME is an ingredient - not only in #food, but in history, too. It took time for the word of freedom to get to #TEXAS. Certain foods represented liberation and the blood shed to get to that moment. Why is Juneteenth so important today? Let's consider where TEXAS is today. Not too many people feeling particularly free in that state these days - especially when it comes to sharing truth in #history. Makes me want to send a few hundred #books and #DEI speakers down that way. Want to talk about why Juneteenth is a necessary celebration - for all people in this country - not just African Americans? These folks will tell you how - in person or virtually. Be in touch about your Juneteenth #speaker options - there is still time to book these three marvelous options. https://lnkd.in/ektK4Ga2

Building on this important work, the Institute has now extended their insights to examine the outcomes and equity for Latino residents as well. In this latest interactive report, users can explore variation in both outcomes and parity for Black and Latino residents on a county-by-county basis across all counties in the U.S. Find out how your county is doing below: #InclusiveGrowth #TheStateofBlackResidents #EconomicMobility

America’s highest idea and greatest accomplishments have arisen from the spirit of innovation, cooperation, co-existence, and constant evolution. On July 4, 1776, a group of revolutionaries, imperfect men, fallible man, but visionary men, started this country out on a journey from an imperfect union to, as was later written in the U.S. Constitution, “a more perfect union.” As all co-founders, co-workers, and joint venturers can attest: any effort to build something that did not previously exist, that involves the efforts of more than one person to build, it will involve ups and downs, struggles, setbacks, strife, dissent, conflict- but also triumphs, innovations, unity, and success if there is also perseverance. Building America has been no different. Over 248 later, Americans have persevered. Americans have moved together toward that more perfect union that is a primary founding purpose of this American effort. All of us have played a role in moving this country forward towards it. We are all responsible for continuing to hone our country to perfection. This is what we celebrate on July 4th. The efforts of the founding fathers. But also, the trials, tribulations, successes, perseverance, and contributions of our ancestors in getting this nation to its point today, closer still to that more perfect union.

🌱 Through our residencies, fellowships, and public programs, The LP continuously uplifts our community's legacies while breathing life into an equitable future led by Black, Indigenous, POC artists and neighbors. Today, we recall Toni Morrison's brilliant essay titled "The Future of Time: Literature and Diminished Expectations". As part of her book titled The Source of Self-Regard, this essay asks us to reimagine ourselves as authors of time. Morrison creates space for us to consider a world that holds our collective past and the complexities of our present and creates space for a radical liberatory future: “Perhaps it is the reality of a future as durable and far-reaching as the past, a future that will be shaped by those who have been pressed to the margins, by those who have been dismissed as irrelevant surplus, by those who have been cloaked with the demon's cape..” pg. 126 ✨ Think & Reflect: How might we stray away from colonial representations of the past, and instead honor our ancestors, live into the present, and dream of a better future? Click the link below to visit to learn more about The LP programs our Read, Rest & Reflect picks inspire! https://lnkd.in/enpYWqZq [Image Description: Slide 1 - Hand holding book displaying book cover in front of LP bookshelves]
