Finally, some #GoodNews. #COVID #vaccines were found to help protect people from #cancer by boosting #immune protections, according to a new study published in #NATURE. #Vaccines work. We need more #funding for #MedicalResearch. Support our #CommunityHealing work at www.patreon.com/c/wisdomcomm...

There is no #PEACE without #EnvironmentalJustice. This week in Wisdom Projects' Planet Protectors lab at McKim (wisdomprojects.org/planet-prote...) we are learning about a new report that the #earth has reached a sad #TippingPoint with #CoralReef erosion threatening life for billions.

#MustRead! Drop everything and read this reporting about sexual abuse against women in the #ClassicalMusic world and the incredible advocacy of #KatherineNeedleman, a Baltimore Symphony Orchestra oboist in the city where Wisdom Projects works. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Do you know what a group of frogs is called? AN ARMY

Every day in our #afterschool program at the McKim Center, Wisdom Projects teachers and Youth #Peacemakers offer one-on-one support for #children who have #disabilities. This week the #WhiteHouse laid off #SpecialEducation school workers who do the same in the #US, harming #vulnerable #kids.

Reminder: No #human is "ILLEGAL." No one is illegal on STOLEN lands! Most #immigrants targeted and imprisoned worldwide aren't criminals! Nations that colonized, enslaved, committed apartheid or genocide must end cruelty, #heal, open borders, and ensure #EqualRights for all.

"I don't want to see anybody treated inhumanely. I'm protesting in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we are violent terrorists is" --#Portland Frog #AbolishICE #PeaceNOW #RightToProtest #NoOneIsIllegalOnStolenLand #NoOneIsAboveTheLaw

The so-called #JudeoChristian people who run the United States seem to have overlooked Leviticus 19:33-34 in the #Bible, which clearly bans the mistreatment of #immigrants.

#Alert! Please be #careful. #HandFootandMouthDisease may be on the rise. See our #Peace and #Health #Alert here.

Life can be so challenging. So many are suffering. Violence is everywhere. But, there is goodness, light, and love in this difficult world. I work to be a force of love and healing. We WILL be prosperous. We WILL be blessed. We WILL be safe. We manifest this to happen NOW. Peace. Much love, tree

No pay for #politics and #harm when so many are #suffering! Those in #power (EVERYONE from the president and his team to Congress and all judges, including the Supreme Court) should suffer severe financial consequences and sanctions that decimate their livelihoods if the government is #shutdown).

This weekend, masked armed #ICE agents in tactical gear surrounded a man in #Chicago after he exercised his #FreedomOfSpeech and critiqued their hostilities. But this man got away. May we all get away from the #violence of #ICE and #PoliceBrutality. --tree (Video Credit: Christopher Sweat)

#FierceFriday! If #Buddhist #monks and #nuns, including those from the #temple in #Thailand where our Executive Director ordained, can #resist #tyranny, #fascism, #hate and #protect their culture's #peace with the might of #justice, then so should we! #Dissent #PeacefulProtest

#ViolencePreventionWatch. "Militant, nationalistic, #WhiteSupremacist violent extremism has increased in the US. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism," says a key study taken down by the #DOJ. Read it at web.archive.org/web/20250911...

Today & every day we send blessings for renewal and #prosperity to the children of #MelissaHortman, #Minnesota State Representative of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, who was shot & killed this year on June 14th along with her husband & dog by a #violent #rightwing gunman.

Let's PLEASE be just as #outraged by the 3 #teens wounded in a #shooting today at a #Colorado high #school. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

#Sheep #Dog #Tuesday! ❤️

(1) When I think of all the world's marginalized people--especially the children!--who are being discriminated against, killed, raped, sex trafficked, provided terrible healthcare, and oppressed, I think of short story called "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" by Ursula K LeGuin.

Why are we called Wisdom Projects? Learn more at wisdomprojects.org/why-wisdom as you forge through the week.

#Healing Saturday ❤️

One of our oldest #constitutional #American rights is #dissent and #protest. The #FirstAmendment guarantees "the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." We must speak out against all attempts to curb this right. --tree

#TuesdayMotivations: Don't worry about having a lot of friends. Surround yourself with those that truly care about you--your #rideordie friends. These are the #LovedOnes who will catch you if you are falling and boost you when you need #care the most. That's true #LOVE.

#Timeline #Cleanse. It's been yet another challenging week. Let's #dance on the souls of our oppressors. --tree

In our healthy foodways program (wisdomprojects.org/foodways), we provide one #homemade, low-salt/low-sugar #meal daily to youth and families to combat #food insecurity. But since the onslaught of #tariffs, the prices of fresh #fruit and #vegetables have skyrocketed, damaging our program.

Every act of kindness spreads love in a difficult world. 💕 --tree

At Wisdom Projects, we center the safety of low-income #youth because we live in a time where killing, raping, abusing, neglecting, and failing to protect #children runs rampant--from our topmost leaders to our neighbors--at home and internationally. This harm must end. --tree

#BelieveInYourself because we believe in you! ❤️✊🏾🙏🏾

This #InternationalYouthDay, we are celebrating our many #Youth #Peacemakers, past and present, who do so much good in spreading the #WISDOM of nonviolence in their lives. Learn more about our programs at wisdomprojects.org/programs --tree

Did you know that the 1776 #DeclarationOfIndependence was openly hostile towards #INDIGENOUS people? The document literally said Indigenous people are "Merciless Indian Savages whose rule of warfare, is destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions." Learn more at www.cnay.org/merciless-in...

And even today, oppression is out of control. Today we are #WOKE, outraged, and working for true justice, peace, and liberation for marginalized people.

57 years ago, the day before #DrMartinLutherKingJr was assassinated, he spoke before 1,300 striking #sanitation #workers in Memphis. Today 10K+ #sanitation #workers are #striking in #Philadelphia in a historic action for #EconomicJustice. Learn more from @adonaicaimmoloch on IG.

Can we get an #Amen? #TuesdayTruth ✊

It's only #Monday and already our world is reeling. May this wonderful boy's #dancing help us get through the week. 💙

The heinous #violence towards hardworking people like #NarcisoBarranco, a #California dad of 3 #Marine sons perpetrated by #masked #Gestapo-like #ICE and #border agents is not about #immigration. It's pure white #hate, #fear, #racism, and #psychopathy.

Every day is #Juneteenth for us. We fight for low-income #Black people, #disabled Black people, unheard Black people, #LGBTQ Black people, and everyone who fights #oppression and #tyranny.

#HappyMonday! True #impact requires clear #goals and #outcomes, as well as supporting a #plan with #evidence of effectiveness. Visit wisdomprojects.org/outcomes to learn about Wisdom Projects' clinical outcomes and the #sources that make our work evidence-based. 💙☮️
