Take a moment to picture your perfect world, to dream………….Compare that image to what you perceive right now. I suspect it feels different from your perfect world. We wanted to take some time to reflect on what is happening right now, and talk about how what we all can do to make a difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week marks National Volunteers’ Week in the UK, which would usually be a great cause for celebration here at TeamKinetic, as it is a celebration of what can be achieved when people come together. However, this year, this has been overshadowed by the news from America. Yet again, we see the ugly spectre of racism raise its vile head, in the terrible murder of George Floyd by the Minneapolis police. Graphically captured on video and shared a billion times across social media. This shocking scene has put into motion a series of events that look set to rock the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our challenge is how do we plot a course through these terrible events and come out of the darkness to stand together united and stronger, how do we make our dream of a more fair and equitable society for all people, no matter their colour, race, sexual orientation, come true? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be the change you want to see in the world!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What does it take to build a healthy community? A community operates on some basic fundamental ideals. You need to share beliefs by which you will all choose to live. To do this there needs to be a level of trust between the members. Individuals respect the rights and beliefs of others even if they are different from their own. Individuals have a responsibility to their community to do what is necessary to ensure the beliefs of that community are upheld. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A reckoning has arrived. Injustice and inequality has been simmering for years and now rightly erupts. How can mankind have advanced so far with our technology and science but systematically failed to grasp the most simple premise that everyone is equal on this earth. George Floyd is the latest victim of the virus that is institutional racism, but it is not unique to the US. Covid has shown us that people of colour are significantly more likely to die than white counterparts in western societies. Ask yourselves why. Direct your anger and frustration. I don\u2019t know what to do and you might not know either. But do something. Be that change. #blacklivesmatter #fuckracism<\/a><\/p>
