Have you ever been on the receiving end of a microaggression? 🤔

At its most basic level, Microaggressions are the everyday slights, insults, putdowns, invalidations, and offensive behaviors that people experience in daily interactions with generally well-intentioned individuals who may be unaware that they have engaged in demeaning ways 💔

Example:

An African American female brings her 2 French Bulldogs to a FREE community clinic. A Veterinarian is overheard saying to a colleague “If you can afford the most expensive breed, Frenchies, then you don’t need free services..”

💬 If you`ve experienced a Microaggression before, share your experience below to warn folks who might be unintentionally harming their peers.

🖥 During a CAL FOR ALL Animals panel discussion, Jessica Lopez (Executive Director of The PAW Mission @thepawmission), Miguel Ruelas (Co-founder of Patitas y Palabras Translation Services and Director of CARE), and Suliana Lutin (Managing Attorney of Lutin Law Group and Founder of Casa Sulis Animal Society @casasulisanimalsociety) explored potential partnerships with current and future Latinx pet owners, community cat caregivers, fosters, and volunteers. These partnerships aim to help bring more pets and people together and keep them out of shelters. 🐈 👩🏾‍🤝‍👨🏽

👥 The group came together to share strategies that promote safety and inclusion and invited community members to offer valuable advice on building meaningful relationships.

By moving event tents from the shelter parking lot to the park play area, The PAW Mission experienced unexpected results, demonstrating the power of innovative thinking. The group also recognized the importance of avoiding stereotypes and embracing community connections to achieve their goals. Their dedication and collaborative spirit inspire all who seek to impact their communities positively. 💥 🎯

🦮 Miguel Ruelas` reflection on his family`s century-long tradition of caring for their pets is a touching reminder of the boundless love and empathy inherent to Latinx culture. It encourages us to cherish our pets as integral family members and appreciate the significance of fostering these affectionate and devoted connections.
