Sometimes, in the journey for justice and equality, we find ourselves at a crossroads between action and endless deliberation. 🌈✊ Over the years, I've seen countless studies validate what we've always known in our hearts: everyone deserves to serve openly, proudly, and without fear of discrimination. Yet, the cycle of studying rather than acting continues to delay the progress we so desperately need. On a day that marked a significant victory in our ongoing fight, a reminder was placed in my hands, a congressional study done in 1993 on homosexuals in the military —a symbol of how far we've come and how unnecessary the delay was. It wasn't just about one policy or one group; it's about our collective struggle for dignity and respect. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ A poignant reminder of the journey we've undertaken and the obstacles we've overcome. This picture, which I've included with this message, symbolizes a pivotal moment in our history—a moment when the need for further study was overtaken by the imperative for equality and justice. Let's not wait for another study to tell us what's right. The evidence is overwhelming; the time for action is now. We must move beyond acknowledgments and towards real change. Let's use our voices and our visibility to make a difference. Because in the end, it's not just about policies; it's about people. It's about humanity. 💖 America is always a team sport.

Today marks Juneteenth, a day that's not just about celebrating freedom, but also about recognizing the ongoing fight for true equality and justice. Juneteenth is a call to action to amplify marginalized voices, champion equity, and pursue justice relentlessly. Delving deeper into the histories and narratives teach us that while we've made strides, oppression is sadly still alive and active in our community. As small business owners, we have the ability to be part of that change. To dismantle the systemic barriers that still exist. Not sure where to start? Learn more here https://lnkd.in/gqvPZFF.

Project 2025, as described, poses a direct threat to the hard-won progress of initiatives like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other pivotal legislative victories. Here's why it's concerning: Efforts under Project 2025 reportedly aim to change voting laws in ways that could suppress voter turnout, particularly among marginalized communities. This directly challenges the inclusive voting rights guaranteed by acts like the Civil Rights Act, which fought against discriminatory practices. The Civil Rights Act and similar laws were pivotal in advancing equal rights and protections for all citizens. Any efforts to roll back these gains through legislative maneuvers threaten to erode these foundational principles of equality under the law. Changes proposed under Project 2025 could disproportionately affect communities of color, LGBTQ individuals, and other marginalized groups. This not only perpetuates inequality but also undermines the democratic ideals of fairness and representation. By restricting voting rights and fair electoral practices, Project 2025 could diminish the political influence of communities that have historically fought for and benefited from legislative protections. This undermines the democratic process itself by limiting diverse voices in governance. The fight for civil rights and social justice is ongoing. It requires continued vigilance and active participation in politics to protect and expand upon the progress made. Engaging in advocacy and supporting measures that uphold equal rights are essential to countering regressive actions proposed under Project 2025. In essence, Project 2025 represents a significant threat to the principles of equality and justice that the Civil Rights Act and similar legislation embody. It underscores the importance of remaining actively engaged in politics to safeguard these hard-fought gains and ensure a fair and just society for all.
On this day, 60 years ago, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was enacted, representing a significant milestone in the fight for equality and justice. At the NAACP, we celebrate the courage and determination of everyone who made it possible and honor the legacy of the tireless activists who have continued to fight for a fair and just society for all.

Currently based in ROME and Washington. Welcoming project-based and multilingual virtual assignments from U.S.-based orgs. Writing, editing, audio, and team assignments. Let’s discuss your organisational needs.
And, now, the U.S. right-wing is aligning itself, and overturning U.S. legal precedent to reverse the human progress of the past 60-80 years. Where will the business community/ communities (plural) place itself/ themselves - both U.S. and global business - in these continuing struggles? #CivilRightsAct1964 #CivilRightsAct1866

Have you read any portion of this act? What I have observed, from conversations, is that because many people have not taken the time to read any portion of this document, many believe and/ or assume that this vital piece of legislation only impacted "Black" people... Thus, some groups align themselves against the very body of laws that have had a net-positive effect on them as well. Reading really is fundamental. Thought for the day: May we read more ourselves and depend less on the 'word-of-mouth' of others.

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.
