How can Five Star Bank help you? 

All communities need equitable public safety systems, free from racial bias, in order to thrive. This is why @Center for Policing Equity works to protect, empower, and support Black and Brown communities to redesign their public safety systems and produce better policing outcomes. Substantial and effective change in our collective approach to public safety can only be driven by community support. This #GivingTuesday, put community first: policingequity.org/donate.

This week we're counting the reasons credit unions should be advertising. 5. To showcase community involvement Advertising credit unions and their community involvement is like showing off your local superhero cape. CU’s are not just about banking; they're the dynamic doers, partnering with schools, charities, and local personalities. Think heartwarming stories, impactful events, high-fives, and happy faces. From financial workshops to lending a hand, friendly neighborhood credit unions don't just talk the talk but walk the community walk. Advertising lets potential members know that credit unions care about more than just money. #creditunion, #creditunions, #banking, #credituniondifference

Taxpayers often fund local events, like parades, to eliminate entry fees and cover costs for administration and security. This boosts participation from nonprofits and small businesses. So, at your local Labor Day parade, remember you could be supporting local businesses' involvement! #laborday #accountability #parades #taxfact #localbusiness

ICYMI: RBIJ joined Transform Justice and ten other criminal justice organizations in a letter to the British Retail Consortium on proposed new sentencing guidelines for assault of a shop worker. We believe that the new guidelines are counterproductive and go against evidence-based best practices. We urge industry leaders and decision-makers to read our letter: https://lnkd.in/eEKXRDe8

Did you know that many people in prison face challenges when accessing education? Prisoners' Education Trust found that limited resources, lack of support, and feelings of isolation can hinder learning. Imagine this: John is released after serving a 15-year sentence. The world he is about to reintegrate back into has dramatically changed. He has minimal education and limited work experience. The job market has changed dramatically during his sentence. John struggles to find work that pays a living wage. Discouraged and financially insecure, he's more likely to re-offend to survive. This is a harsh reality for many long-term prison leavers who haven't had access to quality education. Education equips people with the skills to find good jobs, support their families, and contribute positively to society. Without education, the cycle continues. At Hardman Trust, we believe everyone deserves a chance to learn and grow. We support people on long sentences in their education journeys, helping them build a brighter future.  Click the link in the comments to learn about our services for people on long sentences.

National Food Bank Day is observed each year in September to recognize the critical role food banks - like the Atlanta Community Food Bank - play in supporting those at risk for or experiencing homelessness. PCCI launched its Direct Cash Transfer program to help individuals and families avoid homelessness. We discovered a great deal of food insecurity among participants: >>About 61% of participants worry about not having enough food, >>65% unable to eat the kinds of food they prefer, and the same percentage eating a limited variety of foods or foods they didn't want. >>Roughly 52% had to eat a smaller meal than needed, >>48% had to eat fewer meals in a day, and >>36% had no food to eat of any kind, while >>39% had to go to sleep hungry, and >>26% had to go a whole day and night without eating. Consider supporting or volunteering with a food bank in your community to help out neighbors in need.
