As Niagara Falls glowed blue against the night sky on Thursday May 20, it became the most visible symbol yet of a one-man, grassroots campaign to ensure that this year, Canadian Jewish Heritage Month was not completely forgotten. For the past seven days, from Halifax to Toronto and Montreal to Alberta, nearly a dozen iconic landmarks, bridges and legislatures across Canada agreed to illuminate in blue. And it was thanks to the efforts of Len Pearl, a Toronto documentary filmmaker, who spent months nudging government officials, universities and sports teams to recognize the month. Parliament officially proclaimed May as Jewish Heritage Month in 2018. But this past couple of years, with the spike in antisemitism since Oct. 7, Pearl believed Jewish Canadians need visible reminders that they remain an essential part of Canada's story. In this episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, Pearl joins host Ellin Bessner to discuss the inspiration behind his “We Belong Here” campaign, and also reveal the obstacles he encountered, and his emotional reaction to seeing most, but not all the lights, finally switch on. Related links Learn more about Len Pearl's new film “Search out the Land” exploring the overlooked Jewish history of Canada, on The CJN's North Star podcast, from 2022.

What does it mean to be American? What does it mean to be Asian American — and why, in 2026, are so many of us still leading with worry? Today, in honor of AANHPI Heritage Month, we're diving into the TAAF STAATUS Index 2026 by unpacking some stats that are eye-opening, some that are infuriating, and some that are deeply familiar. We'll talk about how Asian Americans are seen - and how we see ourselves - from the food on our plates to the question of whether you even have to be born here to belong here. It's AANHPI Heritage Month, and we have some thoughts (unsurprising to all of our regular listeners, we're sure!). If this episode resonates with you, please share widely - and let us know what action step you decided to take after listening. What to listen for:  The latest data shows that Asian Americans in 2026 feel predominantly worried right now (compared to other groups who feel more "hopeful") - here's why we think that might be, and it may not be the why that's most common What does it mean to be American? Do you have to be born in the US? And why do so many folks of Asian descent feel you don't have to be born here to be American?  How Asian culture shows up in our homes.  Some ideas for what you can do this month: Watch an Asian film (made by Asians, featuring Asians), have some Asian food, research a significant moment in Asian American history, speak with your Asian friends to learn something new about their lives.

What does it mean to “step up” – and why does it matter? In this Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month episode of Littler Celebrates, Esther Redman, an associate in Littler's Phoenix office, is joined by Angel Garrett, a shareholder in Littler's San Francisco office, and Jordan Wada, an associate in Littler's Seattle office, to discuss how bar associations and community involvement help build connection, confidence and career momentum. Grounded in this year's AANHPI Heritage Month theme, Power in Unity: Strengthening Communities Together, the conversation explores how leadership often begins with small steps – mentoring a peer, raising a hand, or creating space for others. Along the way, they reflect on the lasting impact of history, the importance of representation, and how investing in others continues to shape the future of the legal profession.

I am very excited to launch a very special series for Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar. May is Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM), which annually celebrates the history, culture, and contributions of Jewish Americans to the United States.  I am honored to welcome my dear friend and mentor, Joanne J-Bird Phillips, to the podcast. I first met J-Bird in New York City through our mutual friend and former guest, Beatrice Kimmel. She and I instantly bonded and became fast friends. I love her zest for life, and it was Beshert (Yiddish for “destiny”) that the stars finally aligned for her to come on the show for our third JAHM special.  Born in The Bronx and raised on Long Island, NY, Joanne Phillips grew up in a family of professional drummers and band leaders. Having a natural rhythm since childhood, Joanne's father taught her to play drums with brushes when she was seven, and her first song was "Come Fly with Me" by Frank Sinatra. She grew up listening to Swing, Motown, Bossa Nova, and Rock 'n' Roll, and honed her drum skills on a full orange sparkle drum kit that her family bought for her. At age sixteen, Joanne was asked to join a local garage band of teenage boys who needed someone to play their cover of "Wipeout" by The Surfaris correctly. She stepped in and nailed it.     Hence began Joanne's lifelong love of music and live performance.  Fast forward to the late 70's, after Joanne had moved to Long Beach, NY, and raised two children of her own in the arts -- her son, an alumnus of Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in NYC, and one of the metro area's popular freelance Improv coaches, and her daughter, a SAG-AFTRA TV actress and comedian/comedy writer working in LA.Over the years, Joanne witnessed how many music and arts programs were evaporating and eventually terminated, due to a lack of funding and/or support from the government, as well as certain folks with no interest in keeping arts programs alive, resulting in the arts being put on the back burner in the education system. Joanne remained an avid supporter of an arts education platform for children. She saw how it created positive experiences for her own kids (and many other youths) and witnessed how even a basic arts education enriched lives of youths on many levels for years into their adulthood.   In 2012, Joanne founded J-Bird Music for the Arts, Inc., with the vision of reviving arts programs by providing much-needed equipment, instruments, and resources to enrich the lives of youth through arts education. She wanted to bring that same joy, excitement, and creativity to youth everywhere, especially in underserved or underfunded areas.    Through J-Bird Music for the Arts, Joanne brings her vision alive. From her tireless efforts as a brain tumor survivor with a second chance to live and continue on this mission, she has provided much-needed equipment and support to music and arts programs throughout New York State, including Still Waters In A Storm in Brooklyn, Long Beach High School in Long Island, and Goshen Central High School in Orange County, NY.   On this edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Joanne spoke about her tenth anniversary of being associated with the US Press Association and revealed some of the J-Bird Music for the Arts' top accomplishments.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

I am very excited to launch a very special series for Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. May is Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM), which annually celebrates the history, culture, and contributions of Jewish Americans to the United States.  There are no words to describe how ecstatic I am to welcome back Ethan Zohn for a third time! Ethan became a household name when he first appeared on Survivor: Africa, the third season of the legendary US reality TV competition. He won seven challenges and the title of “Sole Survivor.” He appeared on Survivor: All-Stars, where he won four challenges but lasted only 21 days, and returned to compete in the milestone season Survivor: Winners at War, where he only won one challenge and lasted 35 days.  Since Survivor, Ethan has become an influential social entrepreneur. With a portion of his Survivor: Africa winnings, he co-founded Grassroot Soccer (GRS). GRS is an adolescent health organization that harnesses the power of soccer to provide young people with the essential information, services, and mentorship they need to lead healthier lives. Since its inception, GRS has expanded to 60 countries in Africa and worldwide, has graduated 13 million youth, and has worked with scores of public—and private-sector partners.  He also raised his voice to fight cancer.  Cancer-free since 2012, Ethan Zohn has been a voice for fighters, survivors, and caregivers of all ages, even chronicling the gritty details of his entire cancer experience for People Magazine. While undergoing treatment, he ran and finished the New York City and Boston marathons to help spread messages of hope and resilience to the world.  Ethan is a champion for investment in new medical research and technology. He is an advisor to numerous hospitals and foundations, such as Cancer Buddy, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and Memorial Sloan Kettering.  As demonstrated by his charitable work, tzedakah, and community involvement, Ethan believes that Jewish values can achieve a better and healthier world. His inspiration to help heal the world stems from being taught at an early age the importance of community, a connection to the Jewish faith, and the preservation of Israel.  Ethan shares his deep bond to Judaism, his connection to the Jewish community, and his relationship with Israel by partnering with Jewish organizations that do critical work worldwide, such as BBYO, the Jewish National Fund, and Maccabi USA.  On this edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Ethan Zohn gave his take on Survivor 50, previews Grassroot Soccer's 25th anniversary, and how Grassroot Soccer is going to play a role with the World Cup coming to North America.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

Simon and Julie joined John to talk about Native American Heritage Month — a month that exists because Indigenous leaders spent more than a century fighting for recognition. From Dr. Arthur C. Parker (Seneca) in the early 1900s to Red Fox James (Blackfeet) riding state to state in 1915, the movement grew until Congress and President George H. W. Bush made November the first official Heritage Month in 1990. Every president upheld it… until Trump, who called it “radical and wasteful”.They talk about what this month means, what allies should and shouldn't do, and why leaders like California Governor Gavin Newsom are urging the country to embrace Indigenous values as a way forward. They also take calls from listeners.Simon Moya-Smith is an Oglala Lakota and Chicano journalist. He's a contributing writer at NBC News and TheNation.com.

In this inspiring episode of Develop This!, host Joi Cuartero Austin sits down with her sister, Christine Cuartero, Co-Director of the Filipino School of Chicago, to explore how cultural heritage can shape stronger communities and local economies.  October marks Filipino American History Month, a time to honor the resilience, creativity, and contributions of Filipino Americans across generations. Joi and Christine discuss how celebrating heritage is more than preserving tradition; it's an act of community-building, identity, and empowerment.  From the diverse neighborhood of Albany Park in Chicago, Christine shares the story of how a group of Pinay mothers in education came together to found a school rooted in bayanihan (collective spirit), kapwa (shared humanity), and cultural pride.  Together, they discuss how cultural education fosters belonging, how immigrant stories shape the economic and social fabric of neighborhoods, and how investing in heritage is a powerful strategy for local revitalization.  In this episode:  The significance of Filipino American History Month and why representation matters.  The story behind the Filipino School of Chicago, founded by a group of Pinay educators to preserve culture, language, and pride for the next generation.  How Albany Park's diversity is both a cultural and economic asset.  How cultural spaces foster belonging and retention, key factors in economic development.  The role of heritage-based entrepreneurship and cultural businesses in driving local vitality.  Why bayanihan, the Filipino spirit of collective effort, mirrors the principles of successful community and economic development.  Practical ways economic developers can partner with immigrant-led and cultural organizations to strengthen inclusivity and representation in local economies. Daughter of immigrants from Orani, Bataan and Quezon City, Christine C is an educator and community organizer with over a decade of service across public school settings and neighborhoods in Chicago and New York City.

National Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month is the period from September 15 to October 15, where we pay particular attention to the contributions of Hispanic and Latinx Americans in the United States, and celebrate the group's rich heritage and diverse cultures. This timeframe encompasses the independence days of several Latin American countries: Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. It's also an ideal time for us to restate our commitment to providing safe and welcoming schools for all students, regardless of immigration or any other status. Students who identify as Hispanic or of Latino heritage comprise 41 percent of our population in HSD, which is the largest of any demographic group. We believe our multilingual community brings a tapestry of linguistic and cultural assets and are proud to serve these students through a variety of programs - some of which serve them specifically, others of which are accessible to students of all backgrounds. Our PK-12 Dual Language programs serve more than 3,500 students who learn in both Spanish and English, and expand their socio-cultural competence. We have a thriving Latino Parent Advisory Council at the district level, and several “paquitos” at the school level to help ensure our Spanish-speaking families can receive information and provide feedback in meaningful ways, and help our district and schools with events and programming that celebrates their cultures and customs. Our schools will be sharing relevant information with students about events, people, and customs connected to Hispanic and Latino Heritage over the course of the next several weeks. The City of Hillsboro and Centro Cultural are also hosting a wide range of events, including the El Grito Festival, Binational Health Fair, and more. And save the date of Thursday, October 2, for HSD's Hispanic Heritage event featuring activities, entertainment, food, and community.Our featured event was the kick-off to the 2025-26 school year, which officially began on Wednesday and Thursday, September 3 and 4. Students and staff alike were excited to get back to class and embark upon a new year of learning, growth, and memories in the making.
