@RefugeesChief illustrates that NGO's have local influence that international organizations do not have.

The #genocide we are witnessing in #Palestine is the product of decades of Israeli #impunity provided by the US & other western governments & decades of #dehumanization of the Palestinian people by western corporate media. Both must end now. Speak up for #HumanRights

OUTRAGEOUS proposal in #Nepal would require Nepali woman under age 40 to get the permission of her family AND her local government ward office before traveling abroad alone. https://t.co/s4d1LAj5i9

These clothes were designed by refugee women who are survivors of sexual violence on their path to financial independence.

@Refugees Special Envoy Angelina Jolie loves the designs, hbu?

This is bad. ICE just told students here on student visas that if their school is going online-only this fall, the students must depart the United States and cannot remain through the fall semester. https://t.co/8DteVzexLB

Now @VICE reporting that @CBP is sending predator drones over #GeorgeFloyd protests in Minneapolis.

This is what happens when leaders sign blank check after blank check to militarize police, CBP, etc while letting violence go unchecked.

We need answers. And we need to defund.

Not everyone can continue their education online while schools are closed due to #COVID19.

Girls and young women are often left behind because of the gender digital divide.

We can't let this pandemic widen the education gap.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Africa has responded swiftly and decisively to #COVID19.

Even so, the pandemic threatens the continent's progress.

On Africa Day, I reaffirm my total solidarity with the people of Africa in fighting #coronavirus and paving the way for recovery and a better future for all.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

#GeorgeFloyd should be alive. Instead, he was killed as he begged police for his life.

The impunity of police violence is a systemic problem we must face to save lives.

Police brutality is now a leading cause of death for young Black men in the US. The status quo is killing us.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

#EidMubarak to everyone celebrating!

Let us draw from the many Ramadan lessons of mercy, compassion, mutual respect and understanding.

Now more than ever, solidarity and unity must be our guiding principles.

For the first time, @Twitter is moderating a tweet from US President Donald Trump, flagging it for fact-checking and linking it to news media’s articles debunking the claim. Quite a moment.

I made this comic strip two years ago... Nothing has changed lol

Obrigado, Portugal!
An outstanding example of solidarity by inclusion in times of shared distress.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Members of Congress should not be allowed to own individual stock.

We are here to serve the public, not to profiteer. It’s shocking that it’s even been allowed up to this point.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

It is shameful to see increasing acts of racial discrimination and prejudice as we fight the #COVID19 pandemic - a crisis that affects us all.

We must always #fightracism & prejudice, and promote respect, compassion & equality.

Our UNHCR teams in Sudan are hearing accounts of people fleeing after their villages, houses and properties were attacked, many burnt to the ground.
The rate of refugee arrivals risks outpacing our capacity. More resources + support needed to bolster the response. @UNHCRinSudan

“The findings challenge the widespread claim in Europe that NGO search and rescue activity has been a pull factor for migrants.” This is an important study! https://t.co/0GbNYy0Pni
