We have just created an Ally Pack. The Ally Pack is for organisations to sign up to to find out how they can stand in solidarity with us and our campaign to raise awareness of online disability hate. Hate speech towards disabled people is not only the least reported it is also underreported. This is due to the disabled community feeling they are not always able to stand up for themselves. Some of us feel our voices are not respected. Also we may not have strong networks or connections that can offer support when issues arise online We believe allies can support the disabled community to be empowered. We recognise that at times the voices of the non-disabled are listened to more and we want to tap into this power and potential. The online disabled community is growing but we need more people to stand in solidarity with us Our Ally Pack will give you tools and tips so that you can play an active role in reporting online hate speech towards disabled people You can sign up to our Ally Pack here https://lnkd.in/eW9cZHrF Also could you share it within your workplace and networks. This will really help CYA to grow their allies If you have any questions or thoughts let me know Thomas please share this with all the cool and regional businesses and International Business

Read full article here: https://lnkd.in/eHhjaDxD Research on intersectionality in public administration reveals the diversity of marginalized groups and provides greater understanding of the ways intersecting identities influence inter- and intra-communal relationships. This article highlights the nuances that exist at the intersection of LGBTQIA+ and Jewish identities and how intersectionality can inform public service and engagement with minoritized populations in public and nonprofit organizations. The authors use LGBTQIA+ Jewish communities to construct four tenets of intersectionality—multiple and mutually constitutive identities, dynamic processes in managing multiple identities, discrimination within identities, and intersectional organizations—and discuss their relevance to public administration. #NonprofitAdvocacyLab #Research #UF #FriendsoftheLab

Abuse is a worldwide problem that affects people of all backgrounds, genders, socio-economic status, and nationalities. At its conception in 2020, the Abuse is Not Love program was an initiative to answer to the highly critical need to support organizations that work to fight intimate partner violence. This was supported by data collected by the UN: 1 in 3 women globally experience violence by a partner in their lifetime.   Our focus is on prevention—how can we help people to avoid relationships that escalate to the point of violence? Today we release new research that has demonstrated the importance of understanding how abuse affects people from various genders and identity groups in order to help prevent violence.    And we are proud to support thought leadership with key experts, such as Dr. Beth A. Livingston, who pioneered this new unprecedented research, demonstrating the prevalence of abuse and the need to reduce barriers to accessing support within the LGBTQIA+ community. The key findings of the research are available now on abuseisnotlove.com.   Abuse is not love, it’s as simple as that.
