Thanksgiving is a national holiday in the United States that many celebrate with family and friends by gathering for a bountiful meal and practicing a day of gratitude. In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Native Americans shared an autumn harvest feast acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations. Some Native Americans and many others take issue with how the Thanksgiving story is presented to the American public. In their view, the traditional narrative paints a deceptively happy picture of relations between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag people, ignoring the long and bloody history of conflict between Native Americans and European settlers that resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands. Since 1970, protesters have gathered on Thanksgiving at the top of Cole's Hill, which overlooks Plymouth Rock, to commemorate a "National Day of Mourning." Similar events are held in other parts of the country. Volunteering and providing free meals for those in need also are common Thanksgiving Day activities.

In 1970, community members in New Hope, Minnesota, joined with faith-based partners to establish People Responding in Social Ministry (PRISM, Golden Valley MN) to help neighbors struggling with food insecurity. What began as a small shed of essentials in New Hope has grown into a resource serving a larger community area, stretching into Plymouth, Crystal, New Hope, Robbinsdale, and Golden Valley. PRISM’s mission is to provide social services and connections that empower people to build healthy, stable lives. Programs include the Marketplace Food Shelf, housing assistance, Shop for Change thrift store, and children’s programs offering birthday party supplies, a Holiday Toy Shoppe, and back-to-school items. As food insecurity rises, PRISM remains a crucial resource. Before the pandemic, 1 in 11 families faced hunger; today, it’s 1 in 6. Despite these challenges, PRISM treats every participant with dignity and compassion, providing vital services while honoring the resilience of the individuals they serve.

What a powerful conversation this was to hear today from 3 highly esteemed animal campaigners and spreading the word about Helping Rhinos. Key take aways: 1. Changing a belief system that is 10’s of thousands of years is not going to happen overnight. But if a talk like today happens and even one person talks to another about it and that person tells someone….then eventually, 10 people will know about it. 2. We need to start using language that references animal rights more than animal welfare. 3. These are hard to hear conversations but must happen if change will even be contemplated. There are true heros out there who bear witness to, advocate for, change policies and legislation to not only save vulnerable animals but the lives of humans and the whole ecosystem - from worms and bugs in the soil to leaves at the top of a forest canopy and everything in between. Thank you Dr Marc Abraham OBE for facilitating this conversation 💚 #helpingtherhinos
