United Way Fresno and Madera Counties

We love and live the values of Amanda Gorman's "The Hill We Climb" poem so much, our staff decided to offer a visual interpretation of it. To read the text of the poem in its entirety, visit https://lnkd.in/gkXS9XQJ. "Somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken but simply unfinished..." #amandagorman #poem #liveunited #hope #centennial #unitedway

Please consider sharing your gently used workwear with our students in Fresno Unified School District!

John Robert Lewis (1940–2020) was a fearless civil rights leader, activist, and longtime congressman who dedicated his life to justice and equity. From the Freedom Rides to the March on Washington and the historic Selma to Montgomery marches, Lewis stood on the front lines. This #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor his legacy and his call to action. #GoodTrouble #JohnLewis #CivilRights #BlackHistoryMonth

At the end of last month, we hosted a Meet and Greet for our new CEO, Stephanie Nathan. It was a joyous mingling of new friends and old. Cheers to new beginnings! ??#LiveUnited

In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth, we are celebrating with inspiring quotes from influential leaders in the Black community. Dr. Ibram Xolani Kendi is a renowned author, professor, historian, and leading voice in anti-racism activism. His works, including 'Stamped from the Beginning,' 'How to Be an Antiracist,' and 'Antiracist Baby,' explore the history and impact of discriminatory policies in the U.S. In recognition of his influence, Time named him one of the 100 Most Influential People of 2020.
