Last night, we attended the Women’s Health PAC Launch Event! This incredible event brought together key bipartisan Members of Congress, esteemed guests, and women’s health industry leaders to unite for the advancement of women’s health. What started as a moment has now become a movement. By supporting grassroots events, awareness marketing campaigns, and key bipartisan candidates, the Women’s Health PAC is committed to making women’s health a national priority. We’re proud to be part of this transformative movement and look forward to continuing to drive impactful change for women’s health across the country.

VAŽNO! Očigledno, čak ni u jeku gradske predizborne kampanje većini "opozicije" ne pada na pamet da se bavi ovakvim pitanjima ali isto tako nama ne pada na pamet da odustanemo od Juge! Sutra, 20. maja, ističe rok za podnošenje primedbi na Nacrt plana detaljne regulacije bloka 11 i dela bloka 10 gradske opštine Zemun i opštine Novi Beograd, odnosno brutalne devastacije i rušenja hotela Jugoslavija, i uništavanje i otimanje Zemunskog keja i Velikog ratnog ostrva. Dovoljno je da napišete da se ne slažete sa ovim bahatim investitorsko-urbanističkim planom i pošaljete svoj dopis poštom. Kao i uvek, slobodno nam se obratite za pomoć u sastavljanju primedbi. Toliko svi možemo da učinimo da spasemo ovaj najlepši deo Zemuna, Beograda i Srbije jer njihovi planovi predviđaju rušenje hotela, izgradnju dve ogromne kule od preko 150 m što znači više nego stostruko uvećanje broja kvadrata stambenih i komercijalnih sadržaja i broja stanovnika ovog dela grada i sve to naravno na račun najlepših zelenih površina i dunavskog priobalja grada, a da i ne govorimo o stostrukom uvećanju broja automobila i potpunog i trajnog saobraćajnog kolapsa na relaciji Zemun-Beograd koji bi ovi kriminalni megalomanski planovi sigurno izazvali. Zato svi podnosimo primedbe na ovaj plan i vidimo se na javnoj raspravi tj. javnoj sednici 13. juna! #srbija🇷🇸 #srpskapolitika #srbijainstagram🇷🇸 #srbija #serbianpolitics #beograd #zemun #novibeograd #investitorskiurbanizam #politika #politicalaction #politicalactivism #ustav #zemun #bitkazakošutnjak #pravda #zakon #skupstinasrbije #hoteljugoslavija #juga #kultura #borbazakulturu #parliament #pravoipravda #pravnadržava #odbranislobodu #borba #borbazaslobodu #aleksandracabraja #aleksandračabraja

Posted @withregram • @newrepublic Why waste time debating the extent of Trump’s fascism when we ought to be fighting it instead? “No, no,” some admonish: “Don’t get carried away. Sure, Donald Trump is dangerous, perhaps uniquely so. But … fascist? The need to label him a fascist says more about the labeler than about Trump.” This argument has sprung from certain quarters of the right, which was to be expected, but it has also sprouted from the left, where a point of view has arisen that the “hysterical” invocation of the f-word is as much a danger as Trump. We have trouble seeing the hysteria. We chose the image on the cover of this issue for a precise reason: that anyone transported back to 1932 Germany could very, very easily have explained away Herr Hitler’s excesses and been persuaded that his critics were going overboard. After all, he spent 1932 campaigning, negotiating, doing interviews—being a mostly normal politician. But he and his people vowed all along that they would use the tools of democracy to destroy it, and it was only after he was given power that Germany saw his movement’s full face. Today, we can spend this election year in one of two ways. We can spend it debating whether Trump meets the nine or 17 points that define fascism. Or we can spend it saying, “He’s damn close enough, and we’d better fight.” Tap the link in our bio to read “What American Fascism Would Look Like.” — Illustrations by Jeffrey Smith, @jeffreyartsmith — #Trump #Politics #2024Election #AmericanDemocracy #PoliticalDebate #Fascism #RightWing #LeftWing #Democracy #PoliticalAction #ElectoralPolitics #USPolitics #PreventingFascism #DefendDemocracy

Pushing boundaries and challenging anti-trans legislation is a tool of resistance, and some public figures have used drag as a way to push back on harmful laws that restrict self-expression. Even though a judge temporarily blocked a law banning drag queen performances, Pop star Hayley Kiyoko was warned by law enforcement on the day of her performance that she could not include drag queens in her Nashville concert because it was an all-ages audience. She did anyway.

Voting remains both a right and a responsibility of every citizen. If people don’t exercise their right to vote, they are abandoning the opportunity to influence the direction of their government. Voting is not the only way to engage in political action, but it is the foundation on which all other political action is built. #Voting #Vote #MLK #MartinLutherKingJr #Politics #PoliticalAction #Government #President #UnitedStates #NewJersey #LWV #LWVGNBA

Environmental Responsibility Climate change, pollution, and dwindling resources threaten the health of our planet and our very existence. Leaders who are serious about sustainability go beyond words. They embody eco-conscious practices throughout their actions. This can look like integrating sustainability into every aspect of their decision-making, from company meetings to financial planning. By prioritizing long-term environmental health their responsible actions can reduce pollution, conserve resources, and mitigate the effects of climate change. Furthermore, sustainability attracts environmentally conscious customers, fosters innovation in green technologies, and creates new jobs in the clean energy sector. Leaders who practice environmental responsibility gain public trust and attract top talent who share their values. This creates a powerful movement for positive change. Leaders, are you ready to be the stewards of our planet? It's time for sustainable action! The Advantages of Long-Term Environmental Leadership •Responsible actions reduce pollution, preserve resources, and lessen the effects of climate change. •Sustainability attracts eco-aware customers, stimulates innovation, and produces green jobs. •Leaders that support sustainability foster trust and draw in top talent that values being environmentally conscious.

Fostering Connection and Collaboration Being a leader requires empathy, it is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. This emotional intelligence is crucial for fostering a strong and successful team. Leaders who practice empathy create a safe space where employees feel valued and understood. This psychological safety allows team members to take calculated risks, trust their leader's guidance, and collaborate more effectively. When team members feel comfortable sharing ideas and perspectives, a culture of innovation flourishes. Diverse viewpoints are respected, leading to the development of more creative and well-rounded solutions to complex problems. Furthermore, empathetic leaders are better equipped to communicate clearly and resolve conflicts constructively. By understanding the perspectives of all involved, they can navigate disagreements efficiently and keep the team focused on achieving their goals. Strong leadership in a diverse society is built on empathy. #psychologyleadership #social&Culture #politicalaction #sustainablefuture #powerofinfluence

Feeling safe in the places we live and work is a critical part of wellbeing. While it may seem like many workplaces and schools are unwelcoming for trans and nonbinary people right now, we've also seen positive changes happening despite in recent years! The Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2022 corporate equality index surveyed 1,200 companies and found: 97% have protections for nonbinary and trans workers; More than 660 have adopted gender-transition guidelines; 66% of Fortune 500 companies have trans-inclusive health care benefits; and 22 times as many employers offer trans-inclusive health care benefits now as there were in 2009.

Drag can be an outlet for self-expression and advocacy. When Florida passed anti-drag legislation, Wilton Manors Commissioner Chris Caputo announced that he would go in drag as “Lady Vote” in his city’s Stonewall Pride Parade. “Personally, I don’t believe drag performances at our stonewall cultural event are illegal,” he wrote. “I believe they are of artistic and political value, and I am comfortable showing up in drag. If the Governor disagrees with that, he is welcome to recall my seat and we can fight it out in the courts.” Find out how others are standing up to anti-trans hate at forge.tips/responses (link in bio) #TransSurvivor #TransSurvivors #Trans #NonBinary #Survivor #Survivors #Trans #ViolencePrevention #Healing #TraumaSurvivor #Trauma #Resilience #TransJoy #ResponsesToHate #TakeAStand #PoliticalAction #Drag #DragQueen #RaiseAwareness [Image: A carousel of two slides, both with a background photo of a person in drag with colorful makeup, blue hair, and big colorful flowers on their head.
