🌍 Today is Nelson Mandela Day, a global celebration of the life, leadership, and legacy of Nelson Mandela.

Recognized by the United Nations, the day serves as a call to action, encouraging people around the world to dedicate 67 minutes of service to others. The 67 minutes symbolize the 67 years Mandela devoted to advancing human rights, equality, justice, and peace.

Mandela believed that each person has the power to make a difference. His legacy reminds us that meaningful change often begins with simple acts of service, compassion, and community.

Dr. Maya Angelou shared this belief. Throughout her life, she encouraged us to move beyond words and take action in the service of humanity.

Today, we invite you to honor Mandela's legacy by giving 67 minutes to a cause you care about. Whether through volunteering, mentoring, supporting a neighbor, or investing in educational opportunities, every act of service matters.

"Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better." — Dr. Maya Angelou

How will you spend your 67 minutes today? ✨

We also recognize Ron Dellums for his leadership in the movement to help secure Nelson Mandela's freedom.

Six months into 2026, and what an fruitful journey it has been💙

So far, this year has asked us to smile a little more, laugh out loud, called us back from screens into shared spaces, and celebrate small daily wins. Because the truth is, you can’t pour from an empty cup🫖

As social workers, giving is second nature. We spend so much of our time pouring into others professionally and in our personal lives, that it’s easy to forget we need care too.

As the year continues, may we ask ourselves: What practices are helping me to replenish, while staying committed to the work I’m called to do? 🌱
