The work of Wisdom Projects begins with a critical, deep notion: #Children and #youth should never be harmed and they should learn to do no harm. When we uplift #peace for our youngest, we set a standard of #justice for adults and everyone. Support us at www.patreon.com/c/wisdomcomm...

#MustRead! Drop everything and read this reporting about sexual abuse against women in the #ClassicalMusic world and the incredible advocacy of #KatherineNeedleman, a Baltimore Symphony Orchestra oboist in the city where Wisdom Projects works. www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

She spurned the concertmaster’s advance. Now she’s classical music’s #MeToo vigilante.

Baltimore Symphony oboist Katherine Needleman’s online shaming campaign has sidelined several musicians. But her tactics have drawn criticism.

Every day in our #afterschool program at the McKim Center, Wisdom Projects teachers and Youth #Peacemakers offer one-on-one support for #children who have #disabilities. This week the #WhiteHouse laid off #SpecialEducation school workers who do the same in the #US, harming #vulnerable #kids.

Reminder: No #human is "ILLEGAL." No one is illegal on STOLEN lands! Most #immigrants targeted and imprisoned worldwide aren't criminals! Nations that colonized, enslaved, committed apartheid or genocide must end cruelty, #heal, open borders, and ensure #EqualRights for all.

The so-called #JudeoChristian people who run the United States seem to have overlooked Leviticus 19:33-34 in the #Bible, which clearly bans the mistreatment of #immigrants.

Life can be so challenging. So many are suffering. Violence is everywhere. But, there is goodness, light, and love in this difficult world. I work to be a force of love and healing. We WILL be prosperous. We WILL be blessed. We WILL be safe. We manifest this to happen NOW. Peace. Much love, tree

No pay for #politics and #harm when so many are #suffering! Those in #power (EVERYONE from the president and his team to Congress and all judges, including the Supreme Court) should suffer severe financial consequences and sanctions that decimate their livelihoods if the government is #shutdown).

This weekend, masked armed #ICE agents in tactical gear surrounded a man in #Chicago after he exercised his #FreedomOfSpeech and critiqued their hostilities. But this man got away. May we all get away from the #violence of #ICE and #PoliceBrutality. --tree (Video Credit: Christopher Sweat)

#FierceFriday! If #Buddhist #monks and #nuns, including those from the #temple in #Thailand where our Executive Director ordained, can #resist #tyranny, #fascism, #hate and #protect their culture's #peace with the might of #justice, then so should we! #Dissent #PeacefulProtest

#ViolencePreventionWatch. "Militant, nationalistic, #WhiteSupremacist violent extremism has increased in the US. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism," says a key study taken down by the #DOJ. Read it at web.archive.org/web/20250911...

Today & every day we send blessings for renewal and #prosperity to the children of #MelissaHortman, #Minnesota State Representative of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, who was shot & killed this year on June 14th along with her husband & dog by a #violent #rightwing gunman.

(5) Read the story today at dn721901.ca.archive.org/0/items/the-... and resist all harm, all hurt, to those deemed different or less than those with power. --tree

(4) But, there are, as it always happens, people without power in Omelas City who choose to resist by walking out of the village gates and away from the city that hides an evil beneath its assumed greatness. We must be like "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas."

Wisdom Projects @wisdomprojects.bsky.social · Sep 5

(3) You see, the Omelas citizens have sacrificed (abused, discriminated against, imprisoned, and tortured) one child because to the "entity" that controls their assumed prosperity because they think that their vision of a good life depends on harming people--well, just one--who they think is lesser.

(2) In "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" the citizens of Omelas City think they have the perfect, the most beautiful, and the richest city. But they are shamefully, willfully ignoring the fact that in the basement of one of the rich citizens' houses huddles one, single, abused, chained up child.

Wisdom Projects @wisdomprojects.bsky.social · Sep 5

(1) When I think of all the world's marginalized people--especially the children!--who are being discriminated against, killed, raped, sex trafficked, provided terrible healthcare, and oppressed, I think of short story called "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas" by Ursula K LeGuin.
