St Vincent de Paul Society Australia’s Post

Many people think it is easier to offer help to people in need than to work to change the systems keeping people powerless and in disadvantage. But it takes both justice and charity to truly help all people in need. 🌿🌿 Following the words of St Vincent de Paul, 'There is no Charity without Justice' the Society advocates strongly for people left behind, who are excluded from our broader community. Advocacy is not about politics, but human rights. By advocating, we help address the root causes of injustice and break the cycle of disadvantage. 🌿🌿 Like, repost and comment to support #Advocacy for people left behind.

🌟 Big change starts small—in your local community. Supporting underserved populations, like immigrants, often feels overwhelming. But the solution often lies in simple, local actions: Volunteer your time at food pantries, shelters, or legal aid centers. Donate resources to nonprofits supporting migrants and workers. Advocate for inclusive policies in your town or city. Every step you take at the local level builds the foundation for larger systemic change. Your voice and actions matter and your actions have impact on the future. 💬 What’s one way you’ve supported your community recently? Let’s inspire each other to act! #CommunityAction #LocalImpact #Advocacy

💭 Winston Churchill once said, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we #give." This understanding of the value of giving stems from our quest for the #pursuitofhappiness. In a book I read last year, Happy Money: The Science of Happier Spending, the authors had conducted extensive research and discovered five powerful ways #money can foster happiness. 🙌🏼 One such approach is #investing in others through acts of #giving, such as #donating to #charity or #volunteering time. The fundamental principle: Helping others reveals one of the secrets to #happiness. 😊 🏠 I am proud to be a part of the Evoke Wealth Management family with Athishay Gangadharan, Howard Reizun, Craig Petrassi, and Valbona Camaj because of what we stand for and the #impact we want to make. #conciouscapitalism #evokewm #legacy

Why is fully integrating lived expertise into policy review design and implementation important to you and other kinship families? Lived experience should not just inform policy change but lead it. Policies, programs, and services are more effective, trusted, and used when they intentionally draw on the perspectives of those they seek to serve. It's important to engage #kinship families as lived experts when creating and enhancing public policies, programs and services that impact them. Explore our Kinship Unity Action Agenda and read our full collective action priorities and policy recommendations to support #grandfamilies! https://lnkd.in/dgpuU5jV #PublicPolicy #Government #Nonprofit #Intergenerational #Advocacy

From punitive measures to proactive solutions" encapsulates the transition from traditional punitive approaches in addressing crime towards more proactive and preventive strategies. Instead of solely focusing on punishment after a crime has occurred, this mindset emphasizes the importance of early intervention, community engagement, and addressing underlying social issues to prevent crime from happening in the first place. It signifies a shift towards holistic approaches that prioritize rehabilitation, education, and community support, aiming to break the cycle of crime and promote long-term societal well-being Charlotte Garnes Founder of ReNforce PHONE: (404) 985-0974 EMAIL: charlotte@renforce.org WEBSITE: www.renforce.org #nonprofit #nonprofitorganization #renforcewithcharlotte #renforce #diversity #inclusion #empowerment #volunteer #advocacy #humanity #humanrights #secondchances #impact #community #giveback #opportunity #careerseekers #support #education #buildingbridges
