On January 26, the Upstanders held FLEX sessions that included participating in the Holocaust Butterfly Project and listening to Holocaust survivor Hanna Scrob’s experiences. We want to thank @dhhrm_org  so much for helping Newtech honor Holocaust Remembrance Day!

February 1 marks the start of Black History Month. Join the Upstanders in the 2:40 FLEX session this February 9 to listen to Dale Long, a survivor of the 16th Street Church bombing by white supremacists. His story is important, and we hope to see you as we honor this month.

Menstrual health is a human rights issue.

Yet, menstruation can result in discrimination, stigma & exclusion against women & girls.

Today is #MothersDay. There are over 2.2 billion mothers around the world, and many unfortunately go through domestic abuse and violence. Kirby Banks is an advocate and the co-founder of Voices of Acadiana, an organization helping women suffering from domestic violence heal.

May 7th is #ChildrensMentalHealth Awareness Day. Young people’s mental health is often overlooked: Gen Z has the highest rates of depression and suicide to date. However, with upstanders like Buckeyes coach Charlie Day and his partner Nina Day's assistance, this can change!
