The PuLSE Institute is profoundly saddened by the loss of Dr. Arun Gandhi. Dr. Gandhi, the grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, and a global advocate for human rights, died in India on May 2, at the age of 89. He was a member of our National Advisory Board.

@BankoleDetNews nails it about the Obama Pres. Center today: "That would make it stand apart from other presidential centers, which are normally depositories of the past, where forums typically revolve around the political players of a bygone era instead of engaging future and emerging political powerbrokers and change makers." @ValerieJarrett @davidaxelrod @ObamaFoundation

My next sixth book coming out next month is about a moral fight for hope, economic justice and democracy. Think about it. Fear is the oldest weapon of oppression but hope, when organized and disciplined, becomes a force powerful enough to reshape economies and rescue democracy.

Happy Easter.

In 2025, 808 million people – or 1 in 10 people worldwide – were living in extreme poverty, an upward revision from earlier estimates. If current trends continue, 8.9 per cent of the world’s population will still live in extreme poverty by 2030.

Some folks like to take credit for work they didn't do. While those who did the work don't know how to tell their story. You must tell your story and the impact you made.
