7 THINGS SOCIAL JUSTICE ADVOCATES SHOULD LEAVE IN 2023 #6 ONE SIZE FITS ALL ACTIVISM There’s not one way that everyone should show up when it comes to activism and advocacy! Stop trying to put people in a box, and shame them for not showing up in the exact ways, forms, and times that YOU choose to show up. Activism isn’t one size fits all! Let people show up in the ways that makes sense for them, and that also allows them to stay committed to the cause, consistently, for the long haul. Get in where you fit in, and stop judging other people! If you want to learn how to create a simple, 7-Step Anti-Racist Action Plan, and develop a daily anti-racist journaling practice, to help you stay consistent, and committed to living an anti-racist lifestyle, grab my Anti-Racism School Is In Session™️ Anti-Racist Action Plan, and Digital Journal today!

It's one thing to believe in your positions. It's another to advocate for them.

In this episode, we discuss: ✓ Three things advocates do to get more wins ✓ How men and women approach advocacy differently ✓ Why feedback seekers make for strong advocates ✓ The surprising ways advocates get more of what they want From learning how to set your non-negotiables to applying specific actions to build your credibility, you'll learn how to get others to believe in your positions as much as you do. 🎧 Listen and share: https://bit.ly/480z2zw

A Moment of Grace is a weekly group and safe space that is held for our participants at Grace Institute. The women enjoy icebreakers, discussing relevant topics, community building, and forming a sisterhood to last beyond their training. This week's topic is all about Advocacy. Questions to reflect on for the week: - What is self-advocacy to you? - What questions do you ask in order to self-advocate?

Let’s talk about organizations and resilience!  A resilient civil society organization: what does it mean to you?  Join the virtual discussion on SHINE: https://lnkd.in/g8YXV9P7 I am moderating a virtual discussion on the topic of organizational resilience on the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women's online hub for global knowledge exchange on EVAW. Being a resilient civil society / non-governmental organization has been identified as important in the context of ending violence against women and girls and support for women’s and feminist movements.  The study will inform recommendations for policy-makers, grant-makers and programming decision makers. What is your experience on this topic? We would love to hear diverse views! Please share your practice-based reflections on the questions below, ask questions of your own, and respond to others. This space is yours! Join over 2000+ other practitioners in EVAW on SHINE. Share your reflections until 22 September 2023. Raissa Vitorio Pereira Amélie Gontharet Shruti Majumdar, PhD

📣 Today's spotlight: Saara Kamal M.A. & Lindsey Stevens Don't miss out on their impactful session! Check it out:    🔷 Building Sustainability in Advocacy for Equity Work 🔷    "This session will offer a structure for creating a message for an issue you are passionate about. We support educators and leaders in defining their audience, what thresholds to consider, and what data or anecdotes to include. We will also address how positionality and identity play a role in advocacy and equity messages or movements. Participants will leave the session having a better awareness of what it means to work alongside as a co-conspirator instead of falling into white saviorism norms and behaviors in advancing advocacy for equity."   Ready to be a part of Saara and Lindsey's session?
