Mandela Day is July 18. Who was Nelson Mandela and how can we honor him?
Co-op Principle #5 is Education, Training and Information. We seek to educate ourselves and others so that we can help create a just and equitable future for our Co-op Owners and our community.
Nelson Mandela International Day honors the first Black president of South Africa, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, and his lifelong contributions toward international peace and freedom. Mandela pushed for advances in: race relations; promotion and protection of human rights; reconciliation; gender equality and the rights of children and other vulnerable groups; the fight against poverty; and the promotion of social justice.
Each July 18 Mandela Day, individuals and groups pledge 67 minutes (one for every year of Mandela’s life and service) to take action and inspire change in their communities! Look for the hashtag #67minutes for ideas.
