Exactly! Thank you Australian Human Rights Commission for exposing the watering down of the international day of the elimination of racism. Needless to say that racism operates at different levels. There is #interpersonal racism- between people- aka verbal and physical attacks on people based on their perceived race, religion, ethnicity, etc. #Institutional or #systematicracism is when implicit and/or explicit rules, regulations and biases impact the equal opportunity of people of colour. For example, Police perceives aboriginal young people to be dangerous & difficult leading to excessive use of force, leading to high level (epidemic really!) of death in custody and incarceration of first nation people. Another example of institutional racism, is when Middle Eastern and Chinese sounding names are 60% less likely to secure a job when compared to applicants with Anglo sounding names with the exact same CV. (leave a comment if you want link to the Research) #Structuralracism is when all these biased laws, policies, or practices that restrict people’s access to services, opportunities, and resources because of their race, leave acompounding effect on people’s families, employment, mental and physical health, interactions with the criminal justice system, and beyond. The war on Gaza has exposed Muslim/ Arab communities in Australia to all the above three levels of racism. At the interpersonal level, #Islamophobia has skyrocketed! At the institution level, every level of the government has failed to provide equal opportunities and services to the Muslim and particularly the Palestinian communities impacted in the same way the government extended support to the Jewish/Israeli communities in Australia. Read my article here for evidence that Australien Palestinians are treated as second class citizen. https://lnkd.in/gxiyQ3RX The latest of this train of institutional racism, by the government against Australian Muslims and Palestinians, is that in comparison to the $25 million handed to the Executive Council of Australian Jewry Inc in Octo 2023, five months into the war, of the $25 million promised by the federal government to Australien Muslim and Palestinian communities - only two smaller grants were given to newly established Islamic organisations. The rest was rolled out to non-islamic nor Palestinian communities such as SBS ( $2 million), AAP ( $1 million) and the Human Rights Commission received ($2 million) to run extra anti-racism programs. For six months, we have been running in circles, trying to find a way to access these much-needed funds in vain!!! We ( Australian Palestinian Muslim communities ) were left with no support to our deteriorating mental health. No support to capture the skyrocketing Islamophobia and intimidation in workplaces. This is structural racism. https://lnkd.in/g5zGM6q7 Racism, sits deep in the fabric of our institutions. Without having the difficult conversation, Anti racism is not possible.

On July 2, 2024, we commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a pivotal moment in American history. Signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson, this landmark legislation represented the culmination of decades of relentless advocacy by civil rights leaders, addressing deep-seated racial inequality and segregation across the United States. We are reminded of the ongoing struggle for equality and the imperative of sustained advocacy and vigilance. The parallels between past and present underscore the urgent need for collective voice and action to realize a more just and equitable society for all. Read more from Imari Paris Jeffries Ph.D. on why the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 serves as critical moments to reaffirm commitments to justice and equality below.

🎉 Let's celebrate our First Amendment rights by understanding and upholding our responsibilities! 📣 As a first-generation American, I am profoundly grateful and proud of our country's freedoms, particularly those outlined in the First Amendment. These rights, including freedom of speech, press, religion, assembly, and petitioning the government, form the foundation of our lively and unique democracy and empower us to share ideas and challenge norms constructively. However, along with great freedom comes great responsibility. One crucial aspect of responsibly exercising our First Amendment rights is understanding the distinction between lawful expression and unlawful incitement. The landmark Supreme Court case of Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969) teaches us that while advocating for change is protected, inciting imminent lawless action is not. Let's embrace our rights with enthusiasm and wisdom. By recognizing the limits of our freedoms, we contribute to a safer and more respectful society. It takes responsibility and courage to call out speech that crosses the line into incitement. But this is how we protect the integrity of our rights and ensure that they are used for constructive dialogue and progress. Together, we can celebrate our freedoms and use them to foster a more inclusive and understanding world. We need to use the power of our voices to build rather than to break. #FirstAmendment #FreeSpeech #CivicResponsibility #inclusion #integrity
