SUMMARY:Liberia Independence Day
DESCRIPTION:Liberia Independence Day\n  \nEvery 26 July is Independence Day in Liberia\, commemorating the 1847 declaration of independence by the US colony of Liberia. \nBeginning in 1822\, freed slaves from the US began colonizing what today is the nation of Liberia on the west African coast. The colonists ultimately set up a government modeled on the US Constitution and declared their independence in 1847. The US did not oppose and try to put down the “rebellion”. \nHowever\, there was long tension in Liberia between the descendants of settlers and those of the original tribes inhabiting the region. This tension played a big role in the civil war that raged in Liberia for 14 years\, beginning in 1989. Finally\, a free election put Charles Taylor in office as president in 1997\, and democratic rule was reaffirmed. \nOn 26 July\, Liberia remembers its declaration of independence and its establishment as the first free black republic on the continent. There are parades\, parties\, a grand ball for the nation’s leaders in Monrovia\, and a host of other patriotic events. \n  \nConsider supporting organizations that are actively serving and elevating the local people of Liberia: \nEmpowerment Squared \nGlobal United Diaspora\, INC. \nYour Foot\, My Foot Foundation Inc

SUMMARY:Malawi Independence Day
DESCRIPTION:Malawi Independence Day\n  \nIndependence Day in Malawi is held each 6 July to commemorate the day in 1964 when independence was declared from British rule. Malawi was not opposed militarily by the U.K. when it declared its sovereignty. \nWhat is today Malawi came under British control in 1891\, and it was named the colony of “Nyasaland” in 1907. After World War II\, the desire for self-rule grew all over Africa\, and a “Nyasaland African Congress” was formed to promote independence. \nHowever\, what is today Malawi\, Zambia\, and Zimbabwe were all combined into a single confederated colony under British supervision in 1953. This move proved unpopular and only spurred on the independence movement in Malawi\, despite the fact that limited autonomy had been granted to the new “mega-colony”. \nFinally\, the “Central African Federation” broke apart in 1963\, making Nyasaland a separate colony again. In 1964\, the country declared its independence and renamed itself “Malawi”. \nEvery 6 July there are special flag-raising ceremonies\, patriotic speeches\, and political rallies held throughout Malawi. Many municipal streets will be decorated\, and there may be various celebratory public events and private family get-togethers. \n

SUMMARY:Cape Verde Independence Day
DESCRIPTION:Cape Verde Independence Day\nEvery 5 July is Independence Day in Cape Verde. This public holiday celebrates the freedom of Cape Verde from Portuguese rule on 5 July\, 1975. \nThe human history of Cape Verde began with the islands’ discovery and colonisation by Portugal in the 1400’s. Up until that time\, the islands were uninhabited. During the 1500’s\, Cape Verde became a stop-off point in the African slave trade\, and many slaves were also brought to live on the islands. \nBy the 1800’s\, hard times fell on the islands\, and the economy crashed. And this situation continued for many years. After World War II\, Cape Verde’s people began to demand independence\, but this too would be a long struggle. \nAt first\, Cape Verde and Portuguese Guinea fought together for independence from Portugal. In 1972\, continental Guinea escaped foreign rule\, while Cape Verde struggled on. But after a revolution in Portugal itself in 1974\, Cape Verde finally was given its freedom in 1975.

SUMMARY:UK Mental Health Awareness Week
DESCRIPTION:UK Mental Health Awareness Week\n2023 Theme : Anxiety #ToHelpMyAnxiety \nMental Health Awareness Week is an annual event when there is an opportunity for the whole of the UK to focus on achieving good mental health. The Mental Health Foundation started the event 22 years ago. Each year the Foundation continues to set the theme\, organize and host the week. The event has grown to become one of the biggest awareness weeks across the UK and globally. \nWhy Anxiety?\nAnxiety is a normal emotion in us all\, but sometimes it can get out of control and become a mental health problem. \nLots of things can lead to feelings of anxiety\, including exam pressures\, relationships\, starting a new job (or losing one) or other big life events. We can also get anxious when it comes to things to do with money and not being able to meet our basic needs\, like heating our home or buying food. \nAnxiety is one of the most common mental health problems we can face. In a recent mental health survey we carried out around stress\, anxiety and hopelessness over personal finances\, a quarter of adults said they felt so anxious that it stopped them from doing the things they want to do some or all of the time. Six in ten adults feel this way\, at least some of the time. On a positive note\, anxiety can be made easier to manage. \nFocusing on anxiety for this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week will increase people’s awareness and understanding of anxiety by providing information on the things that can help prevent it from becoming a problem. At the same time\, we will keep up the pressure to demand change – making sure that improving mental health is a key priority for the government and society as a whole. \n  \nSource: https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/ \nhttps://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/explore-mental-health/blogs/why-anxiety-theme-mental-health-awareness-week-2023 \n  \nPlease support organizations assisting the community with Mental Health in the UK:\nBLAM UK \n100 Black Men of London \nAfrican Caribbean Medical Mentors

SUMMARY:World Wildlife Day
DESCRIPTION:The incalculable value of wildlife\nBillions of people\, in developed and developing nations\, benefit daily from the use of wild species for food\, energy\, materials\, medicine\, recreation\, inspiration and many other vital contributions to human well-being. \nThe accelerating global biodiversity crisis\, with a million species of plants and animals facing extinction\, threatens these contributions to people. \nWorld Wildlife Day (WWD) is an opportunity to celebrate the many beautiful and varied forms of wild fauna and flora and to raise awareness of the multitude of benefits that their conservation provides to people.

SUMMARY:Black Excellence Day - Canada
DESCRIPTION:Black Excellence Day\nAfter supporting “Black Shirt Day\,” which received overwhelming support around  the world on January 15\, 2021\,  the members of Ninandotoo Society created the Black Excellence Day initiative. We chose to create our own event after consulting with various community members\, including Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs\, Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre\, and BC Human Rights Commission\, who all voiced that the words ‘Black shirt’ and seeing people march wearing black shirts brought up traumatic experiences of Holocaust survivors. \nBeing truly anti-racist is about inclusion for all and Black Excellence Day was born. Despite moving away from “Black Shirt Day\,” the meaning of Black Excellence Day remains the same: acknowledging the ongoing civil rights struggle of Black and racialized Canadians and fighting for mandatory curriculum on Black history. \n  \nWhat is Black Excellence Day?\nAs a lead up to Black History Month\, Black Excellence Day is a day to rejoice Black history and learn about Black stories\, Black art and Black people\, and a day to stand in solidarity with Black Canadians.\n\n\nBlack Excellence Day was created by Ninandotoo Society and takes place on January 15th each year\, or the preceding Friday if it falls on a weekend or holiday. In 2023\, Black Excellence Day is on January 13th.\n\n\nJanuary 15th is in honour of the great civil rights leader\, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who was born on January 15\, 1929.\n\n\nThe contributions of Black Canadians and the ongoing civil rights struggle of Black Canadians often go unacknowledged in our history books and school curriculum.\n\n\nThe term Black Excellence was born out of the civil rights movement in the 1960s.\n\n\n#BlackExcellenceDay #BED23\nSource : https://blackexcellenceday.ca \n  \n

SUMMARY:International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women
DESCRIPTION:International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women\nSince the outbreak of COVID-19\, emerging data and reports from those on the front lines\, have shown that all types of violence against women and girls\, particularly domestic violence\, has intensified. \nAs COVID-19 cases continue to strain health services\, essential services\, such as domestic violence shelters and helplines\, have reached capacity. More needs to be done to prioritize addressing violence against women in COVID-19 response and recovery efforts. \nWhy we must eliminate violence against women\nViolence against women and girls (VAWG) is one of the most widespread\, persistent and devastating human rights violations in our world today remains largely unreported due to the impunity\, silence\, stigma and shame surrounding it as it manifests itself in physical\, sexual and psychological forms. \nFor more information visit http://www.un.org/en/events/endviolenceday/ \n  \nPlease consider supporting organizations with programs dedicated the Black woman’s  welfare and wellness: \nOne Voice One Team – Ontario \, Canada \nThe Power To Be International – Ontario\, Canada \nLady Ballers Camp – Ontario\, Canada \nWest Island Black Community Association – Quebec\, Canada \nAfro-Canadian Positive Network of BC – British Columbia\, Canada \nGirls For A Change – Virginia\, USA \nI Grow Chicago – Ohio\, USA \nPretty Purposed – Virginia\, USA \nAtlanta GLOW – Georgia\, USA \nSisterReach – Memphis\, USA \nReach Within – Grenada\, Caribbean \nEvery Mikkle Foundation – Jamaica\, Caribbean \n  \n

SUMMARY:U.S. Thanksgiving Day
DESCRIPTION:U.S. Thanksgiving Day\n  \nThanksgiving Day is a day for people in the US to give thanks for what they have. Families and friends get together for a meal. \nThe tradition of Thanksgiving (Good vs Bad)\nThe custom of giving thanks for the annual harvest is one of the world’s oldest celebrations and can be traced back to the dawn of civilization. \nHowever\, it is not commonly a major modern event and arguably the success of the American holiday has been due to it being seen as a time to give ‘thanks’ for the foundation of the nation and not just as a celebration of the harvest. \nIt’s also important to recognized that many Native Americans do not celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims and other European settlers. To them\, Thanksgiving Day is a reminder of the genocide of millions of their people\, the theft of their lands\, and the relentless assault on their cultures. \n  \nPlease consider supporting the following organization centered around families in the US:

SUMMARY:World Day Against Trafficking in Persons
DESCRIPTION:World Day Against Trafficking in Persons\nWorking on the front lines to end human trafficking\nThis year\, we will focus on the first responders to human trafficking. These are the people who work in different sectors – identifying\, supporting\, counselling and seeking justice for victims of trafficking\, and challenging the impunity of the traffickers. \nDuring the COVID-19 crisis\, the essential role of first responders has become even more important\, particularly as the restrictions imposed by the pandemic have made their work even more difficult. Still\, their contribution is often overlooked and unrecognized. \nThrough stories from first responders describing their practical work in assisting victims we intend to spotlight their contribution and that of their function\, institution\, organization\, team\, or community and its impact on fighting trafficking. The key messages focus on the positive\, recognizing the importance of the work done by first responders\, as well as seeking support and raising awareness that these actions need to be sustained and replicated. The stories will also highlight how first responders remained committed during the pandemic. \nGet involved by joining the conversation and using the hashtags #EndHumanTrafficking and #HumanTrafficking on all digital platforms. \n  \nSource: https://www.un.org/en/observances/end-human-trafficking-day \n
