George Rodriguez’s Post

Join this important webinar with Global Cleveland on Monday, December 16 to learn how you can help make 2025 the best year yet for our international communities here in The Land.

Urgent - this needs to be exposed!! America is facing an existential threat - and one of the biggest groups that's working to destroy our nation is Catholic Charities. Catholic Charities is now making videos saying ‘Phase Two’ has just begun. REPOST for exposure ASAP!! The charities say they want to now help migrants “begin working on our applications to sponsor friends and family”. So let me break this down for you: Phase one: flood and overwhelm the system with millions of illegal immigrants. Phase two: allowing permanent resident aliens called Lappers or people with green cards and United States citizens to sponsor illegal immigrants from foreign nations into America. The end (of America as we know it). #thinblueline #lawenforcement

There are just a few days left before 2024 ends. The year 2025 is filled with uncertainty for the immigrant community. That is why we need your financial support today so we are prepared to fight for local immigrants, no matter what challenges they face.   Based on the ever-changing whims of the new administration, many of our clients risk immediate deportation, and - once again - children could be separated from their families. Your gift will support our clients’ greatest and – now, wildly unpredictable – needs. We will continue to be there to defend the rights of refugees and asylum seekers and advocate for their rightful inclusion in America - just like we did during the first Trump administration. We need your support today to meet the chaos that lies ahead. Help us stand up for immigrants by donating  before 2024 ends: https://lnkd.in/eKgUTNab

It was a lovely idea of Sean Jones KC's. All the same — chuffed, humbled, astonished, grateful etc though I am by all the nice things people must have said about me to bring about my promotion to Tier 2 in employment — I'm afraid I won't be donating to Save the Children UK. Why? you ask. How could anyone be such a meanie? The answer is here: https://lnkd.in/gbF5vdGm. Save the Children is advertising itself as fully signed up to a toxic ideology that corrupts and inverts every institution it touches. If you think that's a bit over-excited, have a read of Alabama's amicus brief in USA v AG for Tennessee: https://lnkd.in/gkXgKSwd. It's quite long, but especially if you're new to all this, well worth reading in full. It's a shocking, devastating account of wickedly reckless (at best) harm to children. But if you're short of time, skip to the bit headed "WPATH Recommends Castration as “Medically Necessary” for “Eunuchs" at p.34. Remember that all minimum age limits were removed from WPATH's "Standards of Care 8" at the last minute, at the insistence of the US Department of Health. Then go back to Save the Children's "Trans Inclusion Policy", and have a think about whether you trust Save the Children to do its bit to save children from harm at the hands of this ideology. I know I don't.

It was a pleasure to speak today for London Plus at a London Funders briefing on supporting communities affected by racism, Islamophobia and violence. Also sharing insights and information with a large group of Funders were Minnie Rahman of Praxis, for Migrants and Refugees Mudaser Ali of Muslim Charities Forum (MCF) and Harbi Jama of London Community Foundation. These are a few of the themes talked about: Safety and security - of staff and premises in the front line of the sort of violent attacks we’ve witnessed Funding approaches - and the need to open up funding to organisations such as Mosques, which have strong community support streams of work Misinformation and language - the powerful impact that naming or omitting to name what is really going on has on trust and relationships The varying levels of preparedness in organisations, and the need for funders to invest in supporting this, and greater security The harm arising from the way in which hostile environment language and policies interact with how those seeking asylum are housed, and where The potency we might have working more closely together with funders on longer term system changing approaches to addressing this and building greater social cohesion

It’s time to kick off our first ever #CupsofKindness Challenge!

We have launched a GoFundMe Campaign to Help Ukrainian Families Fleeing War in Thunder Bay. Our local chapter in Thunder Bay has launched a GoFundMe campaign to support Ukrainian families who have been forced to flee their homes due to the ongoing war in their country. The organization envisions creating a Transitional Guest House in Thunder Bay, providing a safe environment for these families to begin rebuilding their lives. To cover household expenses and provide essential support, Grassroots needs to raise $38,000. Did you know that Ukrainians are still arriving in Canada? Since they are not registered as refugees, they do not receive the same level of support. Despite this, they want to stay in Canada, find housing, and secure employment as soon as they arrive. But many of these families end up in Ontario’s homeless system or are teetering on the edge of homelessness, and some are considering returning to Ukraine because they feel they have no other options. The goal of the GoFundMe campaign is to raise $38,000, which will cover rent and household expenses, provide food, basic necessities, and expand volunteer efforts to welcome more families. We have already rented a house, and identified local employers eager to hire newcomers (thank you to Lance Hitz and 3PC - Third Piglet Construction). We are boosting our volunteer team and trying to connect with local service clubs and churches ( Matthew Villella Kevin Holloway @Kevin Holloway Shelley Crawford ), as we are doing this without any Federal or Provincial funding. As such, Grassroots is calling on the community to come together and support this cause. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference in the lives of these Ukrainian families.  Grassroots is committed to making a positive impact in the community, and this campaign is just one of the many ways they are working towards that goal. The organization believes that by coming together and supporting those in need, we can create a better and more inclusive society. To donate to the GoFundMe campaign and help Ukrainian families fleeing war, please visit the Thunder Bay page on the website, or donate through the link: https://gofund.me/5426a601 Please contact wrgrassrootsresponse@gmail.com if you are interested in the partnership.
