TRANSCRIPT: It's Attorney Mary Cannon. If you're in Orlando, I want to urge you to get out there and pick up a copy of this week's Orlando Weekly. It's free. I got mine at Ethos Vegan Kitchen in Winter Park, or you can check it out online. You've got to read this cover story about Pulse survivors and their fight for justice. They have been working tirelessly to uncover code violations at the club that appear to have kept people trapped inside. And what's more, they say the city is trying to cover it up and trying to dismiss them and silence them. So I am so glad that they are receiving this kind of recognition because some powerful people have been trying to keep them down for a long time. And actually this group is made up of over 100 survivors and family members of the d******d, and they have accomplished so much already. They successfully stopped the site of the m******e from being turned into a tourist attraction. And now they're exposing the truth about what happened that night. So please follow their page, Pulse Families and Survivors for Justice. Show them some support. They need it and they deserve it.

Standing Tall for Your Community: Partnering with PRS International Group of Companies
In the tapestry of society, community strength forms the vibrant threads that weave together our shared aspirations and collective progress. At PRS International Group of Companies, we recognize the pivotal role that community strength plays in driving advocacy power and effecting meaningful change. As Vijay Kumar, the Global CEO of PRS International Group of Companies, aptly states, "Community strength is essential for advocacy power."
Through our online platform, https://lnkd.in/gy8DDx49, we provide a rallying point for individuals, communities, and organizations to stand tall for their communities and advocate for policies that uplift and empower. Here's how you can partner with us to make a difference:
The Value in Community Unification
Initially, It’s not about a title or specific recognition. That comes after the community is unified and chooses to do so collaboratively. Communities who are unified want to meet the needs of their sub-communities. Communities which are not, find themselves in conflicts over meeting the needs of their sub-communities.
When a larger community is unified, it becomes more effective in meeting the needs of its sub-communities. This unity enables better resource allocation, collective influence, solidarity, shared responsibility, and efficient communication. It also fosters an environment where conflicts can be resolved, advocacy efforts are more successful, and cultural exchange and social capital are enhanced, preventing the isolation of sub-communities. In essence, unity within a community leads to improved support and cooperation, benefiting all members and ensuring that no sub-community is left behind in their pursuit of well-being.

Excited to share insights from the webinar "Transform Your Practice: Community Engagement Strategies for Trust, Impact & Civic Pride"!
These valuable cards and case studies by the Sustaining Robust Engagement & Stewardship Working Group of the Civic Commons Learning Network, are crafted by practitioners, for practitioners to help nurture trust, expand participation, and promote advocacy through community engagement.
You can use these cards to...
1️⃣ Challenge misconceptions hindering impactful outreach. For instance, practitioners often assume a representative group will participate, but research shows that public meeting attendees are usually unhappy or distrustful.
2️⃣ Utilize practical strategies to enhance your engagement practice. Recognize that no community is homogeneous, focusing on building relationships, trust, & accountability with diverse groups.
3️⃣ Foster relationships, trust, & accountability within diverse communities. Co-create solutions through action-oriented approaches instead of merely collecting input.
4️⃣ Empower your outreach efforts, assess current practices, & share ideas with colleagues for maximum impact!
