Social Impact Movement is a catalyst

for social change in Miami.

More than any time in our history, companies are reflecting upon the need to align their business with the triple bottom line prosperity, people, and planet. They realize that social justice is the filter through which all the other sustainable indicators follow into place. No matter which of the SDGs your company is aligned with or has decided to support, building a better planet for us to live and for our future generations starts by respecting and caring about our people.

Prosperity
People
Planet

No Poverty

About 1 billion people still live in poverty — defined as an income of less than US $1.25 per day

End Hunger

By 2030, we need to ensure that no one ever goes hungry

Good Health and Well Being

This Goal includes a comprehensive agenda for tackling a wide range of global health challenges

Decent work and economic work

At least 75 million young people around the world, aged 15-24, are unemployed, out of school, and looking at a bleak future

Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

The world is becoming more industrialized, but often not in ways that are resilient and sustainable.

SUPPORT NOW

Quality Education

This Goal includes the promotion of education for sustainable development.

Gender Equality

Equality and empowerment includes freedom from discrimination and violence.

Reduced Inequalities

The world is astonishingly unequal: the richest 80 people have the same wealth as the bottom 3.5 billion

Sustainable cities and communities

More than half the world lives in cities, and by 2050, at least 66% will — and most of the growth in cities is happening in Africa and Asia

Peace, justice and strong institutions

Reduce violence. End torture. Decrease the production and flow of arms. Reduce corruption. Create governments and institutions that work

Partnership for the goals

The Targets are a comprehensive list of such needs, including the need for partnerships and collaboration

SUPPORT NOW

Cleaner water and sanitation

Basic water scarcity affects 40% of the global population, and nearly a billion people do not have access to that most basic of technologies: a toilet

Affordable and Clean Energy

Globally, about 1.3 billion people live without access to electricity.

Responsible consumption and production

The world’s nations have already agreed to make the way we produce and consume goods more sustainable

Climate action

Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

Life below water

Global oceans and the life within them are overfished, under-protected, and stressed from climate change and pollution

Life on land

Life on land, on our beautiful planet Earth, is under terrible stress

SUPPORT NOW

Happy 4th of July! Today is a day for celebration

Happy 4th of July! Today is a day for celebration but also a day for reflection.

The Declaration of Independence most famous sentence reads: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Even today, this inspirational language expresses a profound commitment to human equality.
These words from 1776 still resonate today. The Sustainable Development Goals provides a framework to advance and ensure Inclusiveness and Equality for Every Person, Everywhere. Leaving no one behind lies at the heart of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development!

If you’ve been working on building up better low waste habits for a while, you might have noticed some added roadblocks during #quarantine thwarting your good intent -- bulk sections closed at grocery stores, bans on using your own containers, the pressure to use disposable wipes and gloves, the need to stock up on more packaged goods, and an increase in online shopping. ⁣⁠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⁠
If these temporary challenges are making you feel like you need to put your #sustainable efforts on hold, have no fear! There are plenty of ways you can not only proceed with your #lowwastelifestyle but kick it up a notch from the comfort of your quarantine quarters!⁣⁠

#Migrant and #Refugee are just two of the many ter

#Migrant and #Refugee are just two of the many terms we use to describe people who are seeking new homes in other countries.
Refugees, according to the #UNHCR, are people who are “fleeing armed conflict or persecution” and “for whom denial of asylum has potentially deadly consequences.” Refugees leave their home countries because it is dangerous for them to stay. Turning refugees away could mean sentencing them to death.
Migrants, on the other hand, may move for any number of reasons. Some of them move to be with family or for economic reasons. Others move for education. Many of them return to their home countries after a few years. They are often able to plan their own travel. .

Every minute, 20 people leave everything behind to escape war, persecution or terror. .
The COVID-19 pandemic and the recent anti-racism protests have shown us how desperately we need to fight for a more inclusive and equal world: a world where no one is left behind. It has never been clearer that all of us have a role to play in order to bring about change.
.
Everyone can make a difference. This is at the heart of this year UNHCR’s #WorldRefugeeDay campaign. It aims to remind the world that everyone, including refugees, can contribute to society and #EveryActionCounts in the effort to create a more just, inclusive, and equal world. .

Today marks the International Day for the Eliminat

Today marks the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict – a day set aside by the #UN to support international efforts to end conflict-related sexual violence, support survivors, and seek accountability through the investigation of alleged war crimes and the prosecution of those responsible.
Throughout human history, the horrors of armed conflict have involved the widespread use of rape and other forms of sexual violence as a weapon of war. Millions of women and girls, men and boys have been raped in conflicts in our lifetimes.
#SexualViolence wrecks lives and destroys families and communities. Survivors have to live not only with the traumatic experience of violent abuse but they – and often their children – face a lifetime of stigma and are sometimes rejected and ostracized even by their own families. Some of those survivors have been waiting many decades for justice.
Let us make this day a day of awareness, a day to educate ourselves on issues of sexual violence in conflict and together demand that this does not continue to happen, not only in conflict contexts, but in general.

Juneteenth is a day to celebrate freedom and progr

Juneteenth is a day to celebrate freedom and progress. Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.
On this memorable day, today more than ever, we state the importance of focusing on #SDG10 REDUCED INEQUALITIES and #SDG16 PEACE, JUSTICE & STRONG INSTITUTIONS, as an essential tool to achieve social justice and progress for all.
The #SDGs are a global platform focusing on People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnerships. We focus on all 17 SDGS as a call to action for all of us to come together to empower and promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status.
Let's work together, today, tomorrow & always!!! #SdgsinMiami #SDG10 #SDG16 #UN75 #juneteenth #juneteenthcelebration #Miami #Florida #InThisTogether #socialimpact

The International Day for the Elimination of Sexua

The International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict was proclaimed on 2015 by the #UN General Assembly, in order to raise awareness of the need to put an end to conflict-related sexual violence, to honor the victims and survivors of sexual violence around the world and to pay tribute to all those who have courageously devoted their lives to and lost their lives in standing up for the eradication of these crimes. .
To commemorate this day, a virtual event will take place from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Co-hosted by the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, the Office of the SRSG for Children and Armed Conflict, and the Permanent Mission of Argentina to the United Nations. .
The purpose of this event is to outline a number of implications and consequences related to the effects of #COVID19 on the lives of the survivors, as well as on the delivery of the #CRSV mandate and the work of the #UNsystem as a whole.

You can watch live on UN WebTV. .
