We are deeply saddened and outraged by the tragic death of Sonya Massey, a 36-year-old African American woman, who was unjustly killed in her home by police officers. This incident, captured on body camera, is yet another stark reminder of the systemic issues plaguing our society. We cannot afford to remain silent when such injustices occur. Each of us has a role to play in advocating for change and ensuring that every individual, regardless of their race, is treated with the dignity and respect they deserve. What if this was your mother, sister, daughter, niece, or friend? At Nonprofit Fundraising Management (NFM), we are committed to supporting efforts that address these critical issues—it’s one of the primary reasons we do what we do: support Black Churches in their efforts to increase education, health, prosperity, safety, and growth in their communities and beyond. We believe in the power of community action and the importance of standing together against injustice. How You Can Help Fight for Justice! - Get Involved: Join local advocacy groups and participate in peaceful protests. - Raise Awareness: Use your voice on social media and in your community to highlight these injustices. - Support Change: Donate to and volunteer for organizations dedicated to reforming the criminal justice system and supporting victims' families. By coming together, we can drive the change needed to prevent such tragedies in the future. Let's honor Sonya Massey by committing to justice and equality for all. #JusticeForSonya #EndPoliceBrutality #NFMforChange #BlackLivesMatter #DoSomething

https://lnkd.in/d2a82pqD Did you know that Black women lead 60% of Black nonprofits in the U.S.? Despite their significant contributions, they continue to face systemic biases that hinder their progress. Here's a closer look at the challenges they face and the need for greater support: 1. Wage Gaps and Funding Inequities: Black women in leadership roles often encounter wage gaps due to sexism and racial discrimination, resulting in nearly $1 million in lost earnings over their careers. Additionally, Black-led nonprofits receive significantly less funding compared to their white-led counterparts, creating barriers to growth and sustainability. 2. Lack of Professional Development Opportunities: Many Black women leaders lack access to essential professional development and skill-building opportunities. This limitation restricts their ability to expand their services and develop their leadership potential. 3. Financial Instability: Financial constraints force many leaders to supplement their nonprofit income with additional jobs, which detracts from their ability to focus solely on their organization's mission and growth. Sound familiar to those of us in South Africa? Let's work together to break down these barriers and support Black women leaders in the nonprofit sector. Increased funding, professional development opportunities, and systemic changes are crucial to ensuring their success and the continued positive impact of their organizations.

Monday marked the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism. It is an international campaign that kicks off on 25 Nov, the International Day for the Elimination of Vilolence Against Women and runs until the 10 Dec, Human Rights Day. Lately I’ve been challenged a number of times when talking about Domestic Violence and the Deluth Power and Control Wheel - why the focus on women? Men are also affected by DFV. And you’re right - men can be at the recieving end - but the statistics are very sobering here in Australia: - 1 in 4 women have experienced physical and sexual violence from an intimate partner since the age of 15. - 1 in 16 men have experienced physical or sexual violence from an intimate partner since the age of 15. - Around 95% of all victims of violence, whether women or men, experience violence from a male perpetrator. (facts from whiteribbon.org.au). If you want to learn more and be part of the solution to end violence against women or support those who are impacted do the following: Watch this brilliant Bystander Clip by Mates program run by Griffith University https://lnkd.in/gep-9Ku4 Download the Be there app https://bethereapp.com.au/ which has brilliant tailored resources no matter what your situation is with DFV. Everyone has a role to play to end gender-based violence. What will you do?

H.R. 9495, a bill attempting to label Palestinian advocacy groups as 'terrorist-supporting,' recently failed to pass the House of Reps, but 19 California representatives voted in favor. Eight Democrats and 11 Republicans from California voted to give president-elect Trump's upcoming administration the unilateral power to silence legitimate criticism of Israel and selectively target religious and advocacy organizations that support Palestinian human rights. The bill would allow the administration to revoke the nonprofit status of organizations deemed "terrorist-supporting" based on vague, subjective criteria and little to no due process. Thanks to your advocacy, the bill did not pass this session, but we need your continued pressure—it is possible that H.R. 9495 could be brought to vote again. Visit bit.ly/oppose-hr9495 to continue urging your representative to oppose H.R. 9495 and protect nonprofits' rights to free speech, due process, and equal treatment under the law. #HR9495 #NonProfit #Advocacy Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)
