Remembering 9/11: A Day of Reflection, Resilience, and Unity Today, we pause to honor the memory of those we lost on September 11, 2001. It was a day that changed our nation forever, but it also showed us the incredible strength and resilience of the human spirit. From the first responders who rushed in with courage, to the everyday heroes who stood up in the face of tragedy, we remember their bravery and sacrifice. At Ardizzone Enterprises, we reflect on the importance of community and unity. As we continue to work in building and renovating homes for families, we are reminded of how crucial it is to come together, support one another, and rebuild in times of need. Today, we not only remember the past, but we also renew our commitment to creating stronger, more connected communities. Let’s take a moment to reflect, support one another, and never forget the lessons of compassion and resilience that emerged from this day. #NeverForget #911Anniversary #UnitedWeStand #CommunityResilience

What does solidarity mean to you in today’s world? On International Human Solidarity Day, we celebrate the power of unity and collective action in addressing global challenges. Solidarity is more than just a word—it’s a call to stand together, support one another, and work toward a world where everyone’s rights are upheld, and no one is left behind. At CSVR, we believe in the strength of human solidarity. Through our work with survivors of violence, torture, and trauma, we are reminded every day that healing and justice require a collective effort. When we stand together, we can create a more inclusive, compassionate, and just society for all. Let’s come together today to renew our commitment to solidarity, compassion, and the rights of all people. #Solidarity #Unity #CSVR

#ICYMI: I recently sat down with Shaazka Beyerle to discuss her new book "Supporting Nonviolent Action and Movements," published by United States Institute of Peace. I have known Shaazka for several years now, and one of her attributes I love is that she holds the highest respect for civil society and movement actors. This book—and our discussion—highlights how organizations can best support these major societal players (instead of using them for our own ends). In short, "Let movements lead." But what does look like? How do we, practically speaking, support nonviolent action? Watch the #webinar recording to gather the insights Shaazka gleans from her many conversations and interviews with people on the ground. https://lnkd.in/ecdm6WFE

As an anti-trafficking organization, we recognize that tomorrow, the National Day of Mourning, is a time to reflect on the historical and ongoing injustices faced by Indigenous peoples across the United States. For many, Thanksgiving is a day of gratitude, but for Indigenous communities, it serves as a reminder of colonial violence, land theft, and cultural erasure that continues to impact generations. Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit individuals are disproportionately affected by human trafficking and violence, a reality rooted in systemic racism, economic disenfranchisement, and historical trauma. Addressing these issues is essential to dismantling the structures that perpetuate exploitation and harm. As we work toward a world free from trafficking, we must center the voices and experiences of Indigenous communities, advocate for policies that protect their rights, and amplify the resilience and sovereignty of Native peoples. We honor those who have been lost and commit to standing in solidarity with Indigenous communities as we strive for justice and liberation.

A message from our CEO Rachel Gegeshidze - Standing Together in Solidarity: A Commitment to Love, Equity, and Justice This weekend, our communities across the UK have been deeply shaken by tragic events that remind us of the profound challenges we face in fostering a society rooted in love, equity, and justice. At Tempo, we believe in the power of connection—the thread that binds us together as people, communities, services, and businesses. Our purpose has always been to unlock the potential within communities to thrive and to create spaces where everyone feels seen, supported, and valued. In moments like these, it is essential to reaffirm our commitment to these values. There is no place for racism, hate, or injustice in the world we are working to build. We stand together in solidarity with all those who are hurting and those who advocate for a more equitable and just society. We must also speak out against racism and hatred wherever we encounter it. Silence is not an option when the safety and dignity of our communities are at stake. By standing up and speaking out, we can challenge the prejudices that divide us and work towards a future where everyone is treated with respect and fairness. Let us move forward with love at the centre of our actions, equity as the foundation of our relationships, and justice as the compass guiding our decisions. Together, we can create the connected and thriving communities we envision. Now, more than ever, let’s lead with compassion, speak out against injustice, and stand up for what is right. #StandAgainstRacism #CommunityUnity #LoveAndEquity #JusticeForAll #Solidarity #EndHate #ConnectedCommunities

Live your life in such a way that you'll be remembered for your kindness, compassion, fairness, character, benevolence, and a force for good who had much respect for life, in general. #91dayyear #liveonpurpose #HaveyourBestWeek #HBCUbiz #HBCU #Blackbusiness #GrowYourBusiness #4GChallenge
