A pair of glasses can change a child’s life.

That’s why Bloomberg Philanthropies is partnering with @VisionToLearn and @WarbyParker to expand our school-based vision program to seven new U.S. cities—helping more students access vision screenings, eye exams, and glasses so they can see clearly and thrive in the classroom. 👓✏️📚

Hear from @BloombergDotOrg Public Health lead Kelly Henning, @VisionToLearn Founder Austin Beutner, and @WarbyParker Co-Founder & Co-CEO @NeilBlumenthal about the partnership and how it will help bring essential vision care to more students.

[Bloomberg Philanthropies @BloombergDotOrg]

Bringing vision care directly to schools helps more students see clearly, participate fully, and succeed in the classroom.

Through an $8.4 million investment, we're partnering with @VisiontoLearn – with support from @WarbyParker in select cities – to help up to 50,000 students across the country get the support they need to learn and thrive.

JUST ANNOUNCED: @BloombergDotOrg and the Spanish government are launching a new green tech accelerator to position Spain as a leading global model for clean energy—helping cut emissions and costs while strengthening the country’s economy.

[Mike Bloomberg @MikeBloomberg]

As demand for clean energy grows, Spain is meeting the moment. Modernizing its grid can lower costs, strengthen energy security, and create a more competitive economy.

@BloombergDotOrg looks forward to working with Prime Minister @sanchezcastejon to accelerate that progress and help make Spain a global model for clean energy. We’re also pleased to welcome Spain to CHAMP, strengthening collaboration between national and local leaders from 78 countries and the EU.

Today at the @Sept11Memorial, we honor the thousands who lost their lives in the attacks of September 11, 2001, and February 26, 1993. For 25 years, we have pledged to #NeverForget911, and it is as important as ever that we share that day's stories of loss, heroism, and resolve with new generations.

[Bloomberg Philanthropies @BloombergDotOrg]

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we’re joining @Sept11Memorial in honoring those who lost their lives by sharing a photo of the sky. Many recall how clear blue the sky was the morning of September 11, 2001.
