Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when enslaved African Americans in Texas finally learned of their emancipation, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Despite legal freedom, Black people continue to face modern-day forms of enslavement, especially through mass incarceration and economic marginalization caused by systemic inequalities upheld by capitalism. The legacy of slavery has deeply shaped capitalism, exploiting Black labor and continuing racial disparities that persist today. It's crucial that we recognize Juneteenth not just as a historical event but as a call to action for collective efforts toward Black liberation. This includes addressing economic inequalities and challenging systemic racism in all its forms. It's essential to continually educate ourselves, amplify Black voices, and actively build a world where there is safety and liberation of all Black people. #Juneteenth

Individuals can be vulnerable with one another when they trust one another, creating a safe space to share ideas and feelings. Hope provides a sense of optimism that somewhat counteracts the fear that can prevail at times of tension. A sense of worth and competence gives individuals the #confidence to take risks and explore new ideas. When these components are present, individuals can engage with each other meaningfully, build strong relationships, and create a supportive #environment for growth. The #NHS is the largest employer in the UK and needs to be at the forefront of tackling racism, discrimination and bullying in the workplace. Unfortunately at the moment, not all staff feel equally supported and there is a glass-ceiling for those from certain backgrounds. ➡️ At Generation Medics we work daily with NHS Trusts, other health, social care and life-science employers, universities and training providers to provide expertise, insight and solutions that allow everyone to fulfil their potential. So that we have a healthcare workforce that truly represents the communities they serve. ➡️ Access free resources to tackle race inequality from the REM network: https://ow.ly/bBwV50P2HS #RaceEqualityMatters #ActionDrivesChange #ItsEveryonesBusiness #blackhostorymonth #SouthAsianHeritageMonth #SAMH2024
