@kingsbschool @Anavbilsen @ESRC Looking forward to an interesting discussion!

[SusannaFlood @SusannaFlood]

@social_rights @meghnaabraham A great hire! CESR are very fortunate to have appointed such an inspiring leader, great colleague, and passionate human rights activist.

We're looking for a communications person with humanitarian experience who can support our work on #UkraineCrisis ... know anyone?

When will the English realise that God Save the Queen is the national anthem of the UK, not of England? Find your own song! Come on Scotland! #EnglandvsScotland #EUROS2020

I just joined world leaders, scientists, celebrities and +1m people to call on rich governments to share the recipes and waive the #patents for the life-saving #Covid vaccines, so that more countries can produce them! Sign now and RT for a #PeoplesVaccine https://t.co/NL5drkgzbS

[SusannaFlood @SusannaFlood]

This says it all... the inequity in vaccine distribution is just plain wrong. This is not a time for vaccine nationalism #PeoplesVaccine

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

To stop COVID-19 in its tracks, we have to get vaccines to all corners of the world. These are *our* vaccines, paid for by public money. @JoeBiden has called for patent-free vaccines. 
Will the other @G7 leaders join him on the right side of history? @peoplesvaccine 1/2

Goodbye and thank you @BBCMarkMardell. I will miss you on Fridays and Sundays. BBC News will be the poorer without you.

Today's International Day of Older People comes in a year where #COVID19 has exposed older people around the world to extreme forms of ageism. Check out these videos we have made at @HelpAge to challenge the assumptions we all make about #olderpeople #ExposeAgeism

[HelpAge International @HelpAge]

This week we are celebrating #IDOP2020.

Here are 2 facts:
1. #Older age is different for all of us.
2. We all have #rights, no matter who we are.

Let’s ditch the labels!

[SusannaFlood @SusannaFlood]

Great video from our colleagues at @HelpageJ showing the #ageism older people experience. #IDOP2020 #ExposeAgeism

[HelpAge International Jordan @HelpageJ]

Today is International Day of Older Persons. It’s an important day where we recognise and thank older people and It’s also an opportunity to continue to address ageism. 👴👵🌷#ExposeAgeism #HelpAge_International #Jordan

@sallyhayd Hello we have colleagues based in South Sudan working for older people in the POCs. Can connect you with @HDCAfrica if interested.

[SusannaFlood @SusannaFlood]

Great to have teamed my former @amnesty colleagues up with @helpage to call out ageist responses to #COVID19. It feels good to #standtogether and say no to #ageism!

[HelpAge International @HelpAge]

#COVID19 is no excuse for ageism. But it is exposing it.

Join @amnesty and @helpage to #exposeageism. We need to #standtogether. 💪

Never thought I would find myself cheering on Theresa May! #DfIDmerger

[SusannaFlood @SusannaFlood]

#Outrageous... she only spoke the truth (that we all want to hear)

[SusannaFlood @SusannaFlood]

Kudos to @CliveMyrieBBC for a poignant piece on #COVID deaths in the London borough of #Newham. Reminds me of the inequality in our society and how those in the poorest communities suffer most #BBCNewsTen

[HelpAge International @HelpAge]

Thank you @MalakaGharib for this profile of our amazing @HelpAge colleague Shah Dedar working hard for older people in Coxs Bazar in #bangladesh COMIC: Looking For A 'Helper' In The Age Of Coronavirus https://t.co/7HxcIXCj77

[SusannaFlood @SusannaFlood]

This story inspired me amidst the gloom

[HelpAge International @HelpAge]

#Olderpeople inspire us every day...that is why we do what we do at @HelpAge.

Hats off to @captaintommoore for an outstanding achievement. We salute you!

And what will the next 100 days bring? World brace yourselves if this takes hold in lower income countries...

[HelpAge International @HelpAge]

A great graphic of how #COVID19 has reached across the world... but what scares us is what the next 100 days will bring if the virus spreads into countries with weaker #healthcare systems https://t.co/3oG55B3dX7
