To the world leaders & the billionaires: imagine if this was your child or your grandchild about to starve, you would do everything you possibly could to save them.
While there’s $400 trillion of wealth in the world today, shame on us that we let a single child die of hunger.

Tragic circumstances! Really need strategic perspective for education and development, but immediate action to address hunger!
🚨 #Afghanistan is facing a "tsunami of hunger" due to a shortage of funds and food.

I met mothers who lost their children. Children who lost their mothers. The worst drought in 40 years has devastated the lives of families in Southern #Madagascar, where 400K people are on the brink of starvation.
THIS is the face of the climate crisis.

Preventing famine is a choice. And that decision shouldn't be complicated! The world has the resources, the expertise and the power to avert starvation for millions of families.
Now, we need action. #FightFamine

We should never allow a single person to die from hunger. Ever. Not on our watch. If you’re asking yourself how you can help, the answer isn't complicated.
Stand up. Speak out. Say something! But, do it NOW. Lives are at stake. #FightFamine

From @how2saveaplanet - Indigenous people are 5% of the global population, their territories encompass 22% of the land surface which is home to 80% of the planet's biodiversity.

We cannot tackle climate change w/o Indigenous leadership/involvement

The pandemic showed us how important caregiving is, but care work is underpaid and often invisible. How can we build an economy that dignifies the work of caregivers? Join @AspenWorkforce on April 21 for this important conversation. buff.ly/31RWoGP #talkopportunity

Again. Heartbreak. Anger. Hopelessness. How many more will have to die before we do something? I believe most Americans are ready for meaningful action. And have been ready for a long time.

“Let me start with my emotions. It is yet again again women who are hit hardest. Women are already lagging behind in many domains. Whatever you do with this report and in advice to decision-makers, put women first and include them in decision-making. “
