Justice

[close] Welcome to the B.C. Human Rights Commissioner’s Book Club. Stories can be transformative. They can provide windows into someone else’s life or to explore our own experiences, and provide ways to foster empathy and inspire discussions on the big issue of our time. Each month, Commissioner Kasari Govender will select one book for adults and one book for preschool-aged children that can ignite conversations around human rights issues. Whether you’re new to human rights or a seasoned advocate, joining the book club will connect you to others who are also curious and hopeful for a better world—and will continue your lifelong learning about human rights. Each month, the Commissioner’s book selections will be posted on in this bookclub.

[close] This is a group for those who want to read about social justice, enact change in their lives and communities, and learn from each other. Interested? Join and help us create this supportive and educational space.

[close] Ethics of Care is about how we can make decisions, political, social, psychological, economic decisions, in a manner which respects life and its individual needs and joys, while honoring the interconnectedness , near and far, between humans and other entities of this Earth. Politics needs better guidelines to supplant the ill placed market values used to organise human and environmental welfare. Here we access and discuss texts formulated specifically around the #EthicsofCare, in order to develop our critical thinking skills and working vocabulary towards understanding and creating a sound debatable language of WELL BEING, not just of survival-welfare. Language and thought serve to describe how we might better organise ourselves, our politicians, policy makers and communities in a way that demonstrates Trustworthiness. Believing in the Now and the Future requires collaboration and trust. Ethics of Care also lies at the base of healing from the Past. Justice finds a welcoming home within the Ethics of Care where every person receives the care and respect needed at home, education, work and politics. Information about conferences and courses will also be posted, in the hopes that some of the group members might eventually meet one another.

[close] The Institute for Working Families recognizes that when Hoosiers are financially stable, they can achieve their full potential and better contribute to their communities. Policy plays an important role in building families' economic well-being. In order to do this we have to do a LOT of reading. This group is to connect with our followers and supporters and allow them to see what we are reading and connect with us about those books.
