Has your life, as a man, been influenced by faith or spirituality? Have you wondered how others have come view to masculinity through their religious traditions?

Please join us next week for our next Men's Listening Session where we explore masculinity through faith.

Our community is only strong because of the support we give to one another. To celebrate #GivingTuesday, we stopped by the food pantries at @HopeWorksofHC & @HowardCC to donate important resources for those in need. Today, I encourage us all to give and celebrate generosity.

We are celebrating our equity grantees tonight: @AACRHoward, @acshoco, Equity4HC, @HopeWorksofHC & Howard County Chinese School. Over the past year, we have learned from & alongside our grantees & we look forward to continuing to build a strong, healthy community in Howard County

We stand with all sexual abuse survivors in Australia and urge them not to despair at this news, but instead find renewed energy and courage to come forward, make a report, and help protect other children from abuse. https://t.co/CL9aWyCt8T

Yes, some people use contraception for endometriosis or to manage their periods. That’s valid. And some people want to have great sex and not get pregnant. That’s beyond valid, too! (And a lot of fun) #thxbirthcontrol

Language matters. The way we talk about sexual harassment and assault influences how the public understands these issues. https://t.co/0wsHc8rbch

[HopeWorks @HopeWorksofHC]

We are very thankful for our partnership with @thehorizonfound. They are doing tremendous work within Howard County, and we appreciate their support in the movement to end gender-based violence, and create healthier communities!

We hope that the conversations had by the CE team will spark much needed dialogue by the community on not just immigration, but on all forms of oppression.

We hope that we can keep the conversation going here!

[HopeWorks @HopeWorksofHC]

HopeWorks is committed to working against all forms of violence and systems of oppression.

The "Transforming Together" podcast, researched and hosted by our Community Engagement team, and recorded by @DragonRadioHCC, tries to have tough conversations to address those issues.

[HopeWorks @HopeWorksofHC]

This month's episode is titled: "Unpacking Concentration Camps: The History of 'Othering' in the U.S." Join the CE team as they share their thoughts and feelings on this crisis.

Gender Identity: The internal perception of one’s gender, & how they label themselves, based on how they align with what they understand their options for gender to be. Transgender individuals live as a member of a gender other than the one expected based on sex assigned @ birth.

Drop. The. Mic. Whether you are telling your story out loud, to yourself, or still writing it - know that it matters to us. We're watching #BLL2 tonight - if you're comfortable and able to watch, tell us what you think about the next chapter of the Monterey 5!

[National Sexual Violence Resource Center @NSVRC]

Some universities are pushing to make the identities of campus sexual assault survivors public, but this might impact whether students choose to report at all. https://t.co/fPlIQGw6KP
