Catalyst Management Services’ Post

Each week on Unspun we’ll take the issue we’re exploring to the people to get their perspective. This week, we went to the market at 7th and learned people are talking about the lack of civility not only hampering effective governance but also fostering an environment where personal attacks and incivility are normalized, which takes the focus off substantive policy discussions. If you want see the full first episode, head to wtvi.org/unspun. Be sure to watch the new PBS Charlotte series every Friday at 8 PM! #politics #PoliticsMatter #politicsnation #politicsnationwide #politicsNow

Promoting Diversity in the Courts: Justice Joanne D. Quiñones Many judges decorate their office with pictures of judicial luminaries who they view as role models. In Supreme Court Justice Joanne D. Quiñones' office, you’ll find Wonder Woman memorabilia. Learn why, and hear about her "Camp Quiñones" mentoring program, in this new Diversity Dialogue podcast, a production of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. “To me, being a judge is not just about what you do in the courthouse on the bench, but also about what you do in the community off the bench,” according to the first Latina to ever serve as presiding member of the New York State Bar Association’s Judicial Section. “So I make time for what's important to me. And what's important to me is to be actively involved in organizations that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, to be an active participant of organizations that are concerned with access to justice issues, and to improving the court's relationship with the community. Some people joke that I never sleep. Well, you have to make time for what's important to you, so if that means I have to cut down on some sleep, that's what I'm going to do.” Audio: https://ow.ly/vMx750R5OSO Transcript: https://ow.ly/QFEB50R5OSP #DiversityInJustice #CampQuiñones #DiversityDialogue #LatinaJudge #AccessToJustice #InclusiveCourts #JudicialDiversity #WonderWomanJustice #CommunityEngagement

The point is I have read the decision. Here it is if you like to give it a read also? https://lnkd.in/dYHjy3_q Now my comments. We all know that VC funding is decided based on race and gender. VC's discriminate. We have the math to prove it! We have the math to additionally prove the churn rate of all of those VC funded companies, who exit's fail. Personal when I watch a start up get funded on Linkedin, I don't see how the problem they solve really even matters. More on that later. Discrimination in the buying of equity while unethical is not illegal and exist as apart of investment bias. Things like, ie, Goodtimes on Netflix fuel that bias everyday. Every Black person, has to understand the rules of "racism", "discrimination", in black and white (no pun), the unspoken rules and how the rules apply in the Y2k era. Yes we need 52 marches a year against the widening wealth gap. #fearlessfund #currentevents #Linkedin #news

Such a fantastic article that sheds light on the realities of balancing family and career for women - letting go of the expectation to have it all. It’s a powerful reminder of how much women often sacrifice—sacrifices that aren’t always visible, understood, or supported. Articles like this are crucial for driving change and fostering a culture of empathy and understanding.

💡Today’s big question from the #MoonshotPodcast 🤔 Do you want change or not? In the #MoonshotPodcast debut episode, Peggy Antrobus puts it straight: “Do you want change or not?” This question became a driving force behind the Equality Fund. It drove our leaders to build an innovative model to fund human rights at a scale never seen before.

🔃 🔁 "Everyone involved is human...I don’t believe the answer is to see them less than human - we don’t reform by breaking a person further". Wow. What a statement, what a concept...on this new episode of #WomenMakingMoves, Jennifer W.Y. Lee shares her work, her belief, and her momentum toward restorative and holistic justice. It's hard sometimes (in society) to subscribe to this because we've been trained with "an eye for an eye" vibes - which could create instant gratification, but actually makes the larger problem worse, longer term. Jennifer W.Y. Lee is working within the legal system and #DEI to create, not only equity across Illinois, but for humankind as we learn to actually restore the humanity in a person that has caused harm - which again, is hard, especially as she and I share stories of our own personal workplace abuse - but is necessary in order to create peace and harmony within our own lives. Something that Jennifer wants us all to know about DEI is, "we’re all on the same team, we all want similar things and these are the barriers that need to be overcome". Thank you, Jennifer W.Y. Lee (a proud Chicagoan and former "other" Illinoisan"). #NewPodcastEpisode #WomenMakingMoves #WomenInDEI #WomenInLaw #RestorativeJustice #HolisticJustice #FeministPodcastersCollective #Humanity
