(Infographics) 📊 Immigrants and LEP individuals in California One of the reasons why we started our journey with our non-profit is because our Executive Director, Milly Golia, saw firsthand how lack of language facilitation hinders the economic and social progress of vast swathes of the population here in California. Here we show you some data that we thought was relevant to share: 🔵 Among immigrants who arrived between 2013 and 2022, more than half (51%) were born in Asia, while 35% were born in Latin America. 🔵 The vast majority of California’s immigrants were born in Latin America (49%) or Asia (40%). Our non-profit primarily focuses on the needs of the native Spanish-speaking community in California. ➡ It works under the federal Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 2000 Executive Order 13166, which affirms Title VI’s language access requirement and outlines additional requirements. Although federal and state departments are trying to comply with federal law, language access as a service is absent nationwide. 🌐 . . . . .

We imagine other people's lives through stories, a good one has detail in it that makes it come alive. This blog tells us so much about what it means to be undocumented; you are dependent on charity and the kindness of strangers and that is what enables you to live. #bekind #bekindtoothers #migration #diversityandinclusion #storytelling https://lnkd.in/eBrSJ-n6

Today marks the end of my journey with Fundacja Centrum Aktywności Twórczej (Fundacja CAT) in Leszno, Poland. I’ve just completed my two-month European Solidarity Corps (ESC) volunteering program. It’s been a challenging yet rewarding experience, and I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished during this time. I look forward to sharing more about my journey and the lessons I’ve learned in the coming days. #ESC #EuropeanSolidarityCorps #Volunteering #EU #EuropeanUnion

Statement of Support The Migrant and Minority Ethnic (MME) Thinktank are appalled by the recent outbursts of hatred and violence in Belfast and elsewhere. The MME Thinktank opposes inequality and discrimination against migrant and ethnic minorities in Northern Ireland, and aims to promote justice, equity and the rights and responsibilities of everyone. We therefore stand in support of the people and local businesses affected; we stand with those living in fear of Islamophobia and racism; and we stand side by side with those who embrace equality, love and inclusion, living in harmony together, regardless of background, race, colour or creed. To this end we support the statement of 2 August 2024 from the Northern Ireland Executive Office’s Racial Equality Subgroup (Image attached): “The Racial Equality Subgroup calls on all community leaders, faith groups, and citizens to join us in promoting unity and rejecting any form of discrimination. Let us work together to build a society where diversity is celebrated and all individuals feel safe and valued.” We stand together in unity, love and peace.

Something very significant happened this week! If you missed it, in short, it is time to #meetthemoment and build a #NationalVolunteeringStrategy in Canada. Volunteer Canada is leading the charge to make this happen, but they cannot do it alone - this is a groundswell movement - many voices are needed. The COVID pandemic revealed that the quantity and quality of the Billions of hours of #volunteering in #Canada aren't guaranteed and the volunteer infrastructure composed of #volunteercenters, #leadersofvolunteers, and #VolunteerAdvocates was fragile. While the spirit of volunteerism and care of Canadians is strong and resilient, the system is struggling in many places and we are still recovering, lagging behind many other sectors. We all know the not-for-profit is stretched thin and its paid staff in most cases would love a stronger volunteer team to join them to support their cause. But you can't just usher people into helping. Those who give their time to organizations deserve a system and resources they can depend on to ensure their time is utilized well, that they get the training they need, they have assistance to find the position that is right for them and the proper amount of risk assessment and screening happens on both sides of the agreement. Also, those who live by kindness and care quietly, in informal volunteer efforts in their everyday lives; deserve to be recognized and their character emulated, this care makes all our lives better. Ultimately we all deserve that volunteering goes beyond the hours given and extends into belonging in #community. This takes professionalism, it takes systems and it takes investment to do it with excellence. To help out and learn more - check out - https://lnkd.in/dfQV4AGg
