  United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network

In honor of Women’s History Month and National Nutrition Month, SDSN USA is excited to invite you to Exploring Equitable Approaches to Ending Hunger in America: Food, Farming, Families, and Justice, a virtual dialogue on Monday, March 28 from 3:00 - 5:00 PM EDT.   The event is co-hosted by the SDSN USA Diversity, Equity, and Justice Working Group and Zero Hunger Pathways Project, and will bring together food justice advocates, researchers, and academics to explore the impact of historic inequities and what policies and approaches are needed to address racial and gender inequities to put the country on the pathway to zero hunger.    The conversation will focus on how sustainable food systems and agricultural practices can better support women farmers and farmworkers, engage them in decision-making, and create jobs for the future. See the attached graphic for more information on the panelists.    It's free and open to the public. Register today. We hope you can make it!   As always, you can keep up-to-date on our events at www.sdsnusa.org/events, and follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn for regular updates!    Please reach out to usa@unsdsn.org with questions or comments.

Entitlements for nonprofits and Faith-based organizations. FEMA to Host Nonprofit Security Grant Program Webinars March 2022

The unwillingness to try is worse than any failure.   Nikki Giovanni
 
Beyond diversity and inclusion, equity.
 
Pass this along to any nonprofit especially faith-based entities for grant opportunity that THEY ARE ENTITLED TO for Black, Latino, and Tribal Nations. 
 
Other entities have been taking full advantage of these grants opportunities for the protection of their facilities. 
 
Valid 501c3 entities, no P.O. Box but a valid address, mission statement, and needs are eligible for these grants for the protection of their buildings and members.  For physical barriers, doors, security cameras, contract security, fences, education & training, and other security\protection needs.
 
Dot your ‘I’s and cross your ‘T’s. 
 
BEMA International is a member of the Department of Homeland Security Intergovernmental Affairs association\partnership, and your existing or future membership can be written in your proposal.  
 
One of the greatest challenges is the risk and threat vulnerability assessment used as a basis for these grants that must be accomplished before grant proposal submission.  The pre-grant submission tasks is what your ‘good standing’ membership in BEMA International accomplishes for our organization members.
 
Get your questions answered.  There is no excuse or reason not too.
