Very excited to launch applications for this new online incubator today. It’s been a huge team effort between @Acumen and @unilever and we can’t wait to see what new solutions entrepreneurs around the world come up with to improve the lives of the poor.
We're excited to launch the Social Innovation Challenge on Plastics! In partnership with @Unilever, the challenge is an online incubator and innovation lab to catalyze new solutions to combat plastic pollution. Learn more: acumen.org/blog/press-releas…

Meet @dominicwilcox on the #IDEOblog—an inventor who helps to encourage kids to design their wildest dreams, like a top hat that can blow bubbles—and brings those dreams to life with his @LittleInventors Project: ideo.pn/2RmC3Cp

Fighting Tucker Carlson’s ideas is an American right. Targeting his home and terrorizing his family is an act of monstrous cowardice. Obviously don’t do this, but also, take no pleasure in it happening. Feeding monsters just makes more monsters.

Choose to pay attention, to feel awe at least once a day. It is all around you, often in the most unexpected places..
If we pay attention, it becomes impossible not to marvel at the resilience of the human spirit.

It’s difficult to prove that incendiary speech is a direct cause of violent acts. But humans are social creatures — including and perhaps especially the unhinged and misfits among us — who are easily influenced by the anger and rage that are everywhere. nyti.ms/2Dfszpe

There is no room in our society for gun violence and especially not in a place of worship. Elected officials must stop fanning the flames of hatred, bitterness, and division. We must condemn these terrible acts in the strongest possible terms and work to heal these deep wounds.
Excellent, behind-the-scenes look into best practices of the innovative, inspiring @plusacumen Challenge events! The events - and these insights - are wonderful resources. Thanks @amyahearn11 @plusacumen @HigherEdSurge

I have been beaten, my skull fractured, and arrested more than forty times so that each and every person has the right to register and vote. Friends of my gave their lives. Do your part. Get out there and vote like you’ve never voted before. #vote #goodtrouble
