May 8. May-8. Mate. 🤝 Today is the 8th of May, and while you might not recognise the date (and might not have any idea what it’s symbolic of), we’re here to tell you that today IS pretty important for some of us. Suggested as a better, more appropriate and respectful day to celebrate ‘Australia Day’ (which we, here at EVER, do not celebrate on the 26th of January), the 8th of May is a day to focus on friendship and connection. If you, like us, don’t celebrate the 26th of January, and are looking for a different day to love our country and the people who live here, it might be worth considering May 8.

🍂 Celebrating Native American Heritage Month 🍂 This November, let's take a moment to honor and celebrate Native American Heritage Month. A month dedicated to recognizing the significant contributions, rich cultures, traditions, and histories of Native Americans. It's not just about looking back at the history but also acknowledging the influence Native tribes and communities continue to have on our society today. From arts to agriculture, philosophy to politics, their impact is woven into the very fabric of America. Here are a few ways we can all partake in this celebration: Educate Ourselves: Dive deep into the histories, stories, and teachings of Native American communities. There are countless books, documentaries, and online resources available. Support Native-Owned Businesses: Now is an excellent time to discover and support Native artisans, creators, and entrepreneurs. Participate in Local Events: Attend cultural events, workshops, or seminars. Listen to native speakers, engage in dialogues, and embrace the celebrations. Acknowledge Land: Understand the history of the land you're on. Recognize and respect the tribes who originally inhabited these places. Spread the Word: Share what you learn and inspire others. Use your platform, no matter how big or small, to amplify native voices. Let this month be a reminder of the strength, resilience, and unmatched beauty of Native American cultures. Here's to celebrating, respecting, and learning from the First Nations of our land. 🍁🌿 #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #Respect #CelebrateDiversity https://lnkd.in/eYuGFGKV

On this day, OAR celebrates and honors all Indigenous Peoples and communities all across the country and all OAR participants and their families who are a part of these beautiful communities. Although there is so much to celebrate and be grateful for, we also want to pay our respects and take a moment to also allow room for mourning and grievances for all the ancestors, land, and culture that was taken from Indigenous Peoples and their communities due to the colonization of Indigenous peoples and their land. As a part of OAR’s Upstream efforts, we lift up the voices of all Black, Indigenous, Latine/x/o/a, Asian, and Multicultural (BILAM) people, to create a safe, harmonious community for all to live and thrive. We want to remind our community of the true meaning behind the “Thanksgiving” holiday - that it is a colonized holiday that is a reminder of the harm, violence, and repression brought upon Indigenous Peoples and the theft of their Native lands. Not just today, but every single day, we want to honor and respect all Indigenous Peoples, their ancestors, and all the contributions, culture, labor, and land that belong to these communities, and help dismantle the colonized projection of this holiday.

On July 4th we celebrate the courage of those men and women who embraced the idea of freedom and indepedence and sacrificed much to earn it. It took over seven years from the time the Declaration of Independence was signed until the day the British surrendered, but those in the halls of Congress, and those who rallied behind such a powerful ideal didn't know how long the task would last. Today we are honored and inspired by those same "self- evident" truths to continue building a more perfect Union, no matter how long the task will take. Happy Indepedence Day! #independenceday #transformers #distributiontransformers #fieldservices #temporarypower #circulareconomy #sustainability #rentalpower
