One week ago today, it was #WorldSocialJusticeDay! In honor of that day, especially considering it occurs during Black History Month, we want to shine a spotlight on an often mischaracterized and, subsequently, misunderstood group and movement in the U.S. — the Black Panther Party (BPP)! More often than not, the BPP was mischaracterized as comprised of anti-White Black militants; however, in reality, the BPP was a working-class youth-led movement that supported multiracial coalition building; supported their communities with equity-promoting Survival Programs, which provided free food, healthcare, and voter registration drives; promoted self-determination; and established schools in 9 different cities. Additionally, their vision extended beyond the national level. They saw the issues Black Americans have been forced to endure and face as connected to an African decolonization and global liberation movement. For example, Co-Founder Huey P. Newton drew comparisons between the Black American experience and the experience of colonized peoples, such as the Vietnamese. “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love and protect one another. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” — Assata Shakur https://lnkd.in/gcc-qZaS #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #blackexcellence #blackgirlmagic #historic #history #justice #socialimpact #socialjustice #education #educational #blackpower #blackpride #blackpanther #blackpanthers #blackpantherparty #coalition #coalitionbuilding #equity #food #healthcare #voterregistration #votereducation #national #global #colonialism #colonization #racism #decolonization #decolonize #liberation #freedom #breakthechains #love #protection #support #community #communitybuilding #communityengagement #communityhealth #communitydevelopment #communityempowerment #empowerment #empowering #pride

On June 19, 1865, the last enslaved people in Texas finally learned that they were free — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. This day became known as Juneteenth, an annual commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States. While Juneteenth marks an important milestone in American history, it also serves as a solemn reminder that the journey towards true equality for Black Americans has been long and arduous. Even after emancipation, systemic racism and injustice have persisted in many forms. As we celebrate the joy of freedom on Juneteenth, we must also reflect on the work that still needs to be done to dismantle the legacy of slavery and achieve racial equity. Join us in honoring #Juneteenth by learning about its history, supporting Black-owned businesses, and getting involved with organizations working for racial justice and civil rights. Together, we can build a better future rooted in equality, understanding and mutual respect.

Skilled office coordinator and community advocate with a strong commitment to organizational excellence and inclusivity.
August 1st, marks a pivotal moment in Canadian history with the enactment of the Slavery Abolition Act. This legislation profoundly impacted the lives of those enslaved and reverberates through generations to this day. It's a time to acknowledge the resilience of individuals and communities affected by slavery and to honor their enduring legacy. As we commemorate this significant day, I'm reminded of the recent Juneteenth celebrations and the powerful images attached, depicting moments of joy, liberation, and unity. These visuals serve as a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggle for freedom and justice. Through my work with Black in Sask and other initiatives, I am dedicated to acknowledging and recognizing the historical and contemporary challenges faced by Black communities. It's crucial that we continue to educate, advocate, and amplify voices that have been marginalized or silenced. Let's use today not only to reflect on the past but also to commit ourselves to building a more inclusive and equitable future. Together, we can honor the legacy of resilience and forge paths toward justice and reconciliation. #CanadianHistory #SlaveryAbolition #Juneteenth #BlackInSask #SocialJustice #Equality

This JSTOR Daily article explores the roots of Black anarchism in antiracist movements, highlighting its emergence in the late 1960s as a rejection of hierarchical structures. Influenced by encounters in prison, Black anarchists embraced anti-authoritarianism and opposition to various forms of oppression. Though not central, these ideologies continue to influence contemporary Black-led anti-racist movements, advocating mutual aid, police/prison abolition, and non-hierarchical structures. 📚 Join us this tonight to learn more about Black Anarchism in its many forms, and read full article https://lnkd.in/e8xti4yD
