Today we celebrate Juneteenth, a day of freedom and reflection. 🌟 Let's honor the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and continue to strive for equality & justice for all. 🕊️✊ #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #EmancipationCelebration #EqualityForAll #FreedomAndReflection #EndSlavery #LiberationDay #JusticeForAll #EmancipationDay #Juneteenth2021

Today is the International Day Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief. While diversity is a source of strength and vitality, sadly, people and communities continue to endure acts of intolerance and violence based on religion or belief. This date was created to strongly condemn continuing violence and acts targeting individuals, including persons belonging to religious minorities, because of or in the name of religion or belief. Regardless of one’s religion or beliefs, we all deserve respect and to feel welcome and safe in our environments. We must embrace each other’s’ differences, strengthen interfaith dialogue and use our voices to call out acts of discrimination and hatred. #YorkRegion is committed to creating a welcoming and #inclusive environment that recognizes and celebrates all dimensions of #diversity.

Juneteenth has become the most well-known celebration for the ending of slavery in the United States. In fact, it is viewed by some as America’s second Independence Day. The history of this important celebration is complex and often misunderstood. #Juneteenth isn’t a straightforward story of emancipation, nor did it necessarily improve conditions in short order, or across the country. Freedom was not a straight line from the Emancipation Proclamation to Juneteenth to the Civil Rights movement. In fact, there's around 100 yrs between the Revolutionary War, Juneteenth, and MLK. Individuals had to fight for every piece of freedom they experienced and the struggle for justice that started long before the war did not end with emancipation. Today, we celebrate #freedom, #perseverance, and the value of people. May we each recogize where injustice exists and champion the oppressed.

On the #InternationalDayforTolerance, we share our important call for collaboration among faith traditions to foster a shared understanding of how our increasingly diverse societies can be inclusive, tolerant, welcoming, and prosperous. This call was made at the 54th session of the Human Rights Council during the Interactive dialogue on the High Commissioner's oral updates regarding the drivers, root causes, and human rights impacts of religious hatred that can incite discrimination, hostility, or violence. The statement emphasized the need to consider the presence and circumstances of religious minorities while addressing these issues. You can read the full statement to learn more about their perspective on promoting tolerance and respect in our world. https://lnkd.in/g-SKX28v #Tolerance #ReligiousFreedom #HumanRights
