🌍💜 Happy World Elder Abuse Awareness Day! Let's unite to honor and protect our elders with love, respect, and compassion. 🌼🎉 Act now and share a story or memory that celebrates their wisdom! Together, we can create a world where every elder feels valued and safe. 💖✨

The International Network launched world Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) for the Prevention of Elder Abuse and the World Health Organization at the United Nations. The purpose of WEAAD is to provide an opportunity for communities around the world to promote a better understanding of abuse and neglect of older persons by raising awareness of the cultural, social, economic, and demographic processes affecting elder abuse and neglect.

Every year on June 15, World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) is commemorated in America and worldwide. Through WEAAD, we raise awareness about the millions of older adults who experience elder abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation. As many as 1 in 10 older Americans are abused or neglected each year, only 1 in 14 cases of elder abuse ever come to authorities' attention. Older Americans are vital, contributing members of our society, and their abuse or neglect diminishes all of us. WEAAD reminds us that, as in a just society, we all have a critical role to play to focus attention on elder justice.abuse and neglect.

Impartial Artist Spotlight!
This piece is called "Zombie Dance"
The artist describes this as a colorful set of abstracted human figures either dancing or playing instruments. Two people in the foreground are dressed in predominantly purple and yellow clothing, respectively. A printout of what is presumably a colored pencil drawing on paper.

Why do we ? For the 42,000+ people killed every year. For the 117 lives stolen each day. For the 23 children and teens shot each day. And for the countless lives impacted by these senseless tragedies.

June is National Gun Violence Awareness Month
Every day, more than 300 people are directly impacted by gun violence in the United States. Gun Violence Awareness Month was created to draw attention to this tragic reality and demand life-saving change. We Wear Orange in honor of Hadiya Pendleton and all those impacted by gun violence.
Hadiya Pendleton was 15 years old when she was shot and killed in Chicago in 2013. Just one week earlier, Hadiya had performed with her high school majorette squad at President Obama's second inaugural parade. In response to her death, Hadiya's friends asked others to wear orange to raise awareness about gun violence.

Gun violence prevention advocates and organizations nationwide have taken up the color orange as the color of gun violence awareness and the first Friday in June is now considered National Gun Violence Awareness Day.

AANHPI Heritage Month: Criminal Justice & Underreported Realities

Both in research and throughout the media, terms like “minority” and “person of color” typically imply Black and Hispanic people, and those groups are the most highly and disproportionately affected by the criminal justice system. Nevertheless, that does not prevent a investigation into how other racial and ethnic minorities navigate the criminal justice sphere. These categories help tell a clear story about the disproportionate number of Black and Hispanic people involved in the system, but say little about the “other” racial and ethnic groups who comprise roughly 10 percent of both the U.S. and justice-involved populations.

From available data, we know that Asians are largely underrepresented in the federal criminal justice system, as they make up 5.6 percent of the U.S. population but only 1.5 percent of the federal prison population.

But a quarter of state agencies do not include “Asian” as its own race category, and because the overwhelming majority of incarcerated people are housed in state prisons, we need rich data on both the state and federal levels to fully understand AANHPI experiences in the justice system.

Research attempting to fill this void has been met with methodological challenges. Using state and 2010 census data, the Prison Policy Initiative found that the incarceration rate of Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders (NHPIs) in Hawaii was four times higher than that of non-Hispanic whites. Yet, they noted this figure likely understates the true rate due to inconsistent racial classification practices across facilities.

Even in cases where AANHPI populations are included in datasets, poor disaggregation continues to obscure the evidence base that policymakers, researchers, and advocates rely on to drive reform.

Improving justice for AANHPI communities starts with better data.

We need:
-Standardized racial and ethnic categories across state and federal systems
-Consistent disaggregation of AANHPI subgroups
-Greater investment in research that centers underrepresented communities

While we celebrate the cultures and contributions of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities, it’s also important to recognize the challenges that often go unseen.

From underreported hate crimes to language barriers that limit access to justice, many AANHPI individuals face obstacles within the criminal justice system that are too often overlooked.

Awareness is a first step—but equity requires action.

During National Criminal Justice Month, NAMI highlights the experiences of people with mental illness who become involved in the criminal justice system. These overlooked stories help increase the community's understanding of the intersection of mental illness and the criminal justice system – initiating efforts towards sustainable reform. People with mental illness are overrepresented in our nation's jails and prisons. About two million times each year, people with mental illness are booked into jails — often for reasons related to the symptoms of their untreated illness. Roughly two in five people who are incarcerated have a history of mental illness, about double the rate of the general U.S. population. 70% of youth in the juvenile justice system have a diagnosable mental health condition.

When people with mental illness and their families encounter the criminal justice system, they are looking for care, support, and understanding. Instead, they often face uncertainty, stigma, and barriers to mental health care. Unfortunately, there is an urgent need for resources to help people navigate this system and highlight the needed reforms to that system to prioritize diversion and access to care.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

Yet across the U.S., jails and prisons have become some of the largest providers of mental health care.

Too often, individuals facing mental health challenges are met with incarceration instead of support—highlighting a system that responds to crisis with punishment rather than care.

Mental health is not a crime. It’s time to invest in solutions that prioritize treatment, dignity, and prevention.
