"Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you." - Ruth Bader Ginsburg In a world where passions run deep and convictions shape our actions, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's words resonate profoundly. Advocacy isn't just about championing your beliefs; it's about fostering a collective spirit that invites others to stand alongside you. When we fight for what matters to us, we have a choice in our approach. We can shout our opinions from the rooftops, hoping to drown out dissenting voices. Or, we can lead with empathy, understanding, and a willingness to listen. Ginsburg's wisdom reminds us that true progress isn't achieved in isolation but through unity. Effective advocacy isn't a solo performance; it's a symphony of voices harmonizing towards a common goal. It's about understanding that our strength lies not just in the power of our convictions but in our ability to inspire and mobilize others. It's about leading by example, demonstrating the values we stand for through our actions. So, let us fight passionately for what we believe in, but let us do so with open hearts and open minds. Let us build bridges instead of walls, inviting others to join us on the journey towards a better world. Because when we fight together, guided by compassion and understanding, there's no limit to what we can achieve. #Advocacy #Unity #Leadership

In #healthcare, reaching communities disproportionately impacted by chronic conditions demands diverse teams and culturally competent messaging that reflects their lived experiences. As skepticism grows around #DEI, it’s more important than ever to raise awareness and support for these initiatives. That's why we are proud to partner with AMEC Measurement and Evaluation, Commission on Public Relations Education, Diversity Action Alliance, Hispanic PR Association (HPRA), Institute for Public Relations, The LAGRANT Foundation, National Black Public Relations Society Inc, Page Society, The Plank Center for Leadership in Public Relations and PR Council to share the truth: DEI is good for everyone. #DEIisGoodforBusiness #DEIisGoodforHealth

Australian Law Enforcement, Federal Police, Queensland Police, Victorian Police, NSW Police: Need to watch and understand this discussion which includes a critique of Diversity Equity and Inclusion and why many citizens feel disconnected with the agendas of the 'Elites!' Prime Minister Albanese suggested there were 'Right Wing' conspiracy theorists, radicals which were far more dangerous than for instance the rioting and protesting of the Palestinian supporters. The covid 19 Pandemic response was politicised to hammer down on any dissent for the policies of lockdowns, mandatory vaccinations, State border closures, job loss for dissenters. Criticism for those who apposed the 'Voice,' apose mass migration, the green revolution and renewables which is making everything cost more! I would counter that many are just normal citizens who are contributing to discussion and debate in a democracy. the Labor and Greens want to label their opposition as radical and unhinged ................however the truth is they just do not agree with the Left leaning political agendas which allow mass migration, prioritise progressive ideas such as 'Colonial Guilt, voices for the first nation people. Many citizens consider these agendas as little more than the propoganda of a political elite which are out of touch with the concerns of normal citizens! During covid 19 Pandemic Police Forces were politicised and were used to arrest Pregnant women for facebook posts, to label dissent for mandatory vaccines as dangerous right wing radicals, to crash tackle elderly women and people and spray them in the face with pepper spray. All on the media to ensure we live in fear! Australians must have a comprehensive Covid 19 Pandemic response Royal Commission including of State bureaucracies and every health department. To restore the faith of the public. Frankly when I saw peaceful protesters being smashed, bashed and pepper sprayed, I thought Australia had fallen into a tyranny. The Health Departments told lies and untruths and have never been held to account. A $1 Trillion dollar policy disaster. We need to compensate those who lost their employment their business and their reputations. We need to correct the record and make police and Law Enforcement responsible and non-partisan. We need a serious review and corrective actions if we are to remain a free people in a democracy!
