Global Shield is proud to support the American Agricultural Security Research Act of 2025. If enacted, it will bolster resilience of the US food supply chain and agricultural sector.

[Global Shield @globalshieldhq]

Our Executive Director, Jared Brown, states that it "is a critical step in ensuring that vital research is conducted to protect America's food supply from all forms of catastrophic risk, thereby protecting both Americans and our vital contributions to the global food supply."

Over the past 70 years, the DPA’s authorities have become the foundation of US preparedness for and response to national emergencies arising from all threats. Congress has an important role to play in ensuring the DPA has relevance for the next 70 years.

[Global Shield @globalshieldhq]

Global Shield has proudly organized a letter to Congress, along with a broad set of other organizations, urging Congress to reauthorize and modernize the Defense Production Act of 1950, which expires on September 30, 2025.

[Global Shield @globalshieldhq]

We urge Congress to: 1) Reauthorize the DPA for approximately six years this calendar year; 2) Consider bipartisan modernization to better align the DPA with 21st-century threats and supply chain realities, and 3) support robust annual appropriations for the DPA Fund.

The final week to apply for this fantastic opportunity to work for Global Shield!

Every great non-profit organization – whether that be the likes of Oxfam, Red Cross, Save the Children or the World Wildlife Fund – started somewhere. In one country, with limited funds, with the aim of just doing a little good for the world.

We can only dream of reaching the status and global presence of these organizations. But reality is just a dream sculpted by will and time.

In this role, you have the opportunity to make those dreams into reality. You will be helping chart our path to a truly global and influential advocacy organization.

Every great organization started somewhere. And every great organization started with great people.

Important piece by Global Shield Board Member @cpruhl on how the US government must re-energize civil defense for the worst case scenarios.

[Christian Ruhl @cpruhl]

In the @washingtonpost today, @hannahxyang and I argue that it's time to bring back civil defense -- starting with next-generation pandemic preparedness.
