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...
So many things are scary to #children and #youth. Oftentimes, they don't tell us. In our #TraumaSensitive programming in partnership with the McKim Center we create loving space for #youth to work through their #fears and #feelings, especially on #Halloween!

#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)

(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.
