🥳 Happy International Day of Friendship!

This day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2011 to highlight the importance of friendship in bridging gaps between peoples, cultures, and nations.

Don't let differences stop you from building friendships and bonds in your communities - the power of mutual understanding, solidarity and kindness goes a long way to creating a better world for all 🫶

🗣️ Speaking up about crime is one of the kindest actions we can take. Your voice can make a positive difference in our communities and even save lives.

If you know or suspect who is responsible for a hate crime, and report it 100% anonymously at Fearless.org.

When you provide information to Fearless.org, they can't track your IP address or any contact details, ensuring you stay 100% anonymous - always ✅

Together, let’s stand against sectarian hate and create a safer, more inclusive community for everyone! 💪💙

From speaking up against injustice to engaging in constructive discussions and volunteering in support of vulnerable groups, everyone should play a part in taking action on sectarianism and fighting discrimination and hatred 👋🏽
