REMEMBERING WANGARI MAATHAI!
Wangari Maathai’s legacy lives on through the countless trees that continue to grow, the women she empowered, and the enduring message that environmental stewardship and social justice complement one another. In celebrating the life and history of Wangari Maathai, we are reminded that it is our collective responsibility to protect our planet and promote equality for all. Her legacy challenges us to take action, plant the seeds of positive change, and nurture them with the same passion and resilience that defined her life. Wangari Maathai’s legacy is a call to action, a call to be stewards of the Earth and champions of justice, ensuring a better world for generations to come.
I’ve told this story before: every 7th of July Prof. Wangari Maathai would attempt to plant a tree at Uhuru Park’s Freedom corner to agitate for change. Every Saba Saba she’d be clobbered by police. More than 20 years later her “children” are at Uhuru Park.

Are you on code or out of it and how is it affecting your life? Do you know much about yours or do you dismiss it due to being under the spell of the colonial legacy that stigmatised it with negative propaganda? Much of the falsehoods created around African spiritual cultural traditions are evident today and can be dispelled with accurate information and knowledge, as outlined in this ground-breaking film: www.ancestralvoices.co.uk/av1 #culture #cultureclub #cultures #culture2 #wisdom #wisdomquotes #wisdomquote #kenya #code #coded #wangarimaathai #environment #environmental #environmentalist #extinctionrebellion #amazon #amazonfire #stayoncode https://www.instagram.com/p/B1_50bLHLz4/?igshid=qanag8jbzt4r

#Herstory #UnDiaComoHoy #ElizabethWilliams (22 de mayo de 1943 - 17 de marzo de 2020) fue una #activista por la paz de Irlanda del Norte. Fue co-receptora con Mairead Corrigan del #PremioNobel de la Paz en 1976 por su trabajo como cofundadora de Community of Peace People, organización dedicada a promover una resolución pacífica de los Problemas en Irlanda del Norte. Junto con McKeown firmó una declaración de Paz, base principal de Community of Peace People: “Tenemos un mensaje simple para el mundo de este movimiento por la Paz. Queremos vivir y amar y construir una sociedad justa y pacífica. Queremos para nuestros hijos, como queremos para nosotros, que nuestras vidas en el hogar, en el trabajo y en el juego sean vidas de alegría y Paz. Reconocemos que construir una sociedad así exige dedicación, trabajo duro y coraje. Reconocemos que existen muchos problemas en nuestra sociedad que son fuente de conflicto y violencia. Reconocemos que cada bala disparada y cada bomba que explota hacen más difícil esa labor. Rechazamos el uso de la bomba y la bala y todas las técnicas de violencia. Nos dedicamos a trabajar con nuestros vecinos, cercanos y lejanos, día tras día, para construir esa sociedad pacífica en la que las tragedias que hemos conocido sean un mal recuerdo y un continuo aviso.” En 2006, fundó la Iniciativa de Mujeres Nobel junto con las Premios Nobel de la Paz #MaireadCorrigan, #ShirinEbadi, #WangariMaathai, #JodyWilliams y #RigobertaMenchú cuyo objetivo fortalecer el trabajo que se realiza en apoyo de los derechos de las mujeres en todo el mundo. Williams salió a la arena pública después de presenciar la muerte de 3 niños el 10 de agosto de 1976, cuando fueron atropellados por un automóvil cuyo conductor, un paramilitar del IRA llamado Danny Lennon, había recibido un disparo mortal en respuesta al fuego de un soldado del regimiento Kings Own Royal Border. Williams estaba tan conmovida por el incidente que 2 días después, había obtenido 6.000 firmas en una petición de paz y obtuvo amplia atención de los medios. Williams organizó una marcha por la paz a las tumbas de los niños asesinados, a la que asistieron 10.000 mujeres protestantes y católicas. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd2hfsNDQmN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
