Pastoral Message 2024 - Feast of St Joseph the Worker By Bishop Vincent Long "In this year's Feast of Saint Joseph the worker message, we reflect on the disproportionate challenges faced by our First Nation sisters and brothers in employment. Work is vital for all of us. It gives us meaning and a sense of self worth. Yet in Australia, First Nations people are almost twice as likely to be unemployed as non indigenous Australians...." VISIT the Office for Justice, Ecology and Peace website:https://lnkd.in/g7fthVMP Family joblessness is not only one of the primary causes of multi-generational poverty in Australia, but it also affects people’s lived experience of their own human dignity. Australia has been reported to have one of the highest rates of jobless families among OECD countries. There are 1.4 million unemployed families in Australia. Eight per cent of households in Australia with children under 15 years old have no employed adults. First Nations people are almost twice as likely to be unemployed than non-indigenous Australians.

54.  Feed My Starving Children | Volunteer to pack meals (fmsc.org): I walked to this place for volunteering and I found 95 percent of people they feed to be black. Blacks have natural resources that serves their interests and need, why even non-profits project racism: ; Supreme Court of the United States; Gravitas Plus: The race for Africa - YouTube; Darwin, Africa, and Genocide: The Horror of Scientific Racism - YouTube; I own hardworking traits and body why should churches hustle with me for 32 years for my talent, time, religion, stories, and others in collaboration and cooperation with two governments. I have been forced out of two jobs that I work 72 hrs. per week, and my meddled family begged. 55.  No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws(14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Civil Rights (1868) | National Archives). This clause protects every thing I have been fighting for 10 years to protect. FBI, CIA, Police, Courts, Department of Justice, and others are meant to protect this and enforce this.

https://lnkd.in/ekeWbmb8 I was interviewed last week ahead of the Budget about living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and what is needed to support those them. Listen in at 1:42:30. I say I am lucky all the time and in many ways I am but it is not right that others living with MS have a different experience. #livingwithMS, #stopMS

**🎤 Behind the Scenes of Creative Collaboration 🎶** On December 19, 2021, a powerful spoken word piece was released on YouTube, and I had the privilege of producing the backing track that brought the words to life. 🖤 When I first heard the poem, I was struck by its raw emotion and knew the music had to enhance that feeling without overpowering the message. I crafted a blend of [describe music style—e.g., ambient sounds, rhythmic beats, etc.] that would match the tone and amplify its impact. **What went into this production:** 🔊 *Deep research into the spoken word’s themes* 🎧 *Layering instruments to complement the artist's voice* 🎼 *Refining the track until it felt like a seamless part of the performance* This collaboration taught me the importance of marrying sound with story, creating a true synergy between the spoken word and the music. I would love to give a massive shoutout to The Unspoken for giving such a great opportunity. 📌 Check out the video here: https://lnkd.in/e-qxPQCK Would love to connect with other creatives, producers, and spoken word artists! Let’s collaborate or share insights on how music can transform storytelling. #MusicProduction #SpokenWord #Collaboration #BehindTheScenes #Creatives #ProducersLife #StorytellingThroughMusic
