Into Integrity--Interim FAST Update 3


United for Integrity
Stand up--Speak out--Live in integrity

#MyOrganizationToo #CMCtoo #HealUsToo

The prayers and the calls for integrity and action continue during this Interim period, 
even as they have over the last 12 years.


Warm greetings!

In this Update we feature a special tool for “increased accountability and better governance" to support organizational health and integrity: Complaint Mechanisms for Non-Governmental Organizations (2017). This is a practical tool, developed with input from several organizations (primarily Christian organizations). The Executive Summary is especially helpful as it is designed to be used as a checklist for organizations to review and develop their "complaint mechanisms."

"A complaint mechanism (CM) is a formalized mechanism to give victims and witnesses of misconduct by an organization a chance to report cases, and for organizations to deal with these complaints in a structured manner. Complaints are an expression of dissatisfaction or discontent about misconduct. A CM can receive both operational complaints (e.g. about programs, quality of work, donor registration, project participant selection) and serious complaints (corruption, nepotism, misuse of funds, physical/psychological/sexual abuse)" (page 4).

Be sure to check out these relevant items too:
--the comments of several colleagues who have expressed their strong support for us and the Into Integrity FAST’s calls for disclosures, integrity, and righting the wrongful dismissals (see the October Into Integrity weblog entry);

--the
latest PETRA People weblog (October-November 2019) which includes the summaries/links to the seven podcasts and seven blogposts that Kelly did in June 2019; and 
the three ongoing efforts to confront corruption and the international NCI et al fraud: the Professional Review, the Healing the Body summary-summons, and the Integrity Petition.

Shine the Light-Together!

Join Together--FAST Together!
We want to invite you to join together with us and others during Part Two of the Into Integrity FAST. The dates are 6-26 December 2019. Note also that the United Nations International Anti-Corruption Day is 9 December.


We encourage you to do a fast/strike (FAST) for one or more of the 20 days with us. Focus on an area of integrity that is important for you as well as on the specific NCI fraud and dismissals that continue to be publicly challenged via the Into Integrity FAST.

Next Step
Please contact us about a fast/strike that works for you: specific dates and purpose, and whether you want to do so privately or to do so publicly via a list we will put on the Into Integrity weblog.

"Don’t be intimidated. Eventually everything is going to be out in the open, and everyone will know how things really are. So don’t hesitate to go public now. Don’t be bluffed into silence by the threats of bullies. There’s nothing they can do to your soul, your core being. Save your fear for God, who holds your entire life—body and soul—in his hands." Matthew 10: 26-28, The Message.

Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and support.
Stand up. Speak out. Live in integrity.
Please spread the word.

Kelly and Michele
---------------------------------

The purpose of the Into Integrity FAST is to call attention to--and confront--the lack of disclosures by specific organizations/leaders/people affected by the international Nordic Capital Investment KB fraud (NCI) as well as the related, wrongful dismissals directed at Kelly and Michele. It is a 40 day combined food FAst and huger STrike. Part One of the FAST (6-26 June 2019, 20 days) was done by Kelly. For Part Two of the FAST (6-26 December 2019, 20 days,) others are encouraged to join together in order to FAST publicly for privately for one or more days.

Integrity is moral wholeness—living consistently in moral wholeness. Corruption is moral rottenness, the opposite of integrity--the distortion, perversion, and deterioration of moral goodness, resulting in the exploitation of people.
