@ACTAlliance is pleased to join civil society partners, governments, UN agencies and other stakeholders at the launch of the Global Alliance for Human Rights at the Palais Wilson today.
As a faith-based alliance we are committed to human dignity, justice and human rights.
It was deeply inspiring, this week, to participate in the ACT Alliance Governance Board meeting, where important decisions were made to strengthen the service (diakonia) of the church to humanity and the whole of creation. @followers@Oikoumene
Part of the ACT Governing Board met today with Jerry Pillay, General Secretary of the @Oikoumene, to strengthen cooperation in the true ecumenical spirit. Together, we continue building unity, solidarity, and joint action in a fragmented world.

In Geneva reflections with Rudelmar Bueno de Faria (ACT Alliance) highlighted that humanitarian transformation is not just about systems but building ecosystems rooted in dignity, justice & inclusion
Local leadership must be at the center

How are war, polarization and religion reshaping global markets?
My latest @wef article explores why we need a “moral economy” lens—and how economic ecosystems from local to global are being transformed.

Quem reza não mata nem ameaça com a morte, mas tem consciência dos próprios limites. Em vez disso, é escravo da morte aquele que virou as costas ao Deus vivo, para fazer de si mesmo e do próprio poder o ídolo mudo, cego e surdo (Sl 115, 4-8), ao qual sacrifica todos os valores e diante do qual pretende que o mundo inteiro se ajoelhe. Basta com a idolatria de si mesmo e do dinheiro! Basta com a ostentação da força! Basta com a guerra! A verdadeira força manifesta-se no serviço à vida. #Paz
While on holiday in Brazil, I witnessed a public statement by Rio’s mayor that undermines other religious traditions. In a country where over 50% of the population is Afro-descendant, public policies must be inclusive and respect all faiths. Religious freedom matters.
Today, in #Nairobi governments are meeting to negotiate a #UNTaxConvention
For too long, global tax rules have favored the few.
The UN Tax Convention is our chance to create a fair, transparent system that works for everyone, not just multinationals or the ultra-rich.
It’s time to pick the side of justice and equality.

Today @ACTAlliance, @lutheranworld and @Oikoumene leadership
met to discern ways to strengthen ecumenical cooperation, aligning efforts in humanitarian response, climate justice, and advocacy. Grateful for a shared vision and concrete next steps.
Today I met with the @ACTAlliance International Gender Community of Practice, an inspiring group leading gender justice work across regions. In the face of fundamentalisms, regressive agendas, and shrinking civic space, collaboration is our strength #GenderJustice#FaithInAction
I was amazed by the interaction with the brilliant master’s students of the Geneva Centre of Humanitarian Studies during my presentation “Re-politicizing Humanitarian Action: Legitimacy, Power and the Political Consensus We Need.”Passionate and experienced people from everywhere.
The Advisory Panel on the Future of Humanitarian Action is launching its Vision Paper this week. Soon, we’ll engage a wide range of stakeholders to reflect together on the future of humanitarian action and needed transformations. #HumanitarianAction#FutureOfAid#Localization
Attending the @wef Annual Meeting of the Global Future Councils in #Dubai. Honored to participate in the discussions on moral economy, climate change and AI.
Proud to have contributed at the event on the challenges and opportunities of #multistakeholder#partnerships. Building trust while delivering impact is never simple, but essential.

So moved and hopeful as we witness real change in church leadership: the @ELCA’s first Black presiding bishop and the first woman #ArchbishopofCanterbury are trailblazers, opening doors for so many.
I welcome these leaders!
“When religious leaders turn pulpits into platforms for partisan power, they distort the spiritual vocation of the church …”
#ACTAlliance Alliance exposes how fundamentalisms are fueling political extremism — and calls for bold action. https://t.co/dcloDh86An
Aujourd’hui, j’ai marché avec la Marche pour la Palestine à #Genève.
Il est temps que notre gouvernement prenne une position plus ferme face aux atrocités/genocide.
L’avenir de l’humanité dépend de notre courage et de notre action décisive. #Palestine#DroitsHumains
