[James Fredrick @jameslfredrick]

Some news: I'm now leading media relations and strategy for the Global @foodbanking Network. Thrilled to advocate for our community-led foodbanks in nearly 50 countries. Expect to hear from me about creative solutions to #hunger and our #climate impact on food loss & waste

[James Fredrick @jameslfredrick]

For obvious reasons, I won't be posting on this website any more. You can find me over on @bluesky @jameslfredrick.bsky.social

@ce_tracey I was just in Brazil and they’re there too. A complete takeover of the Americas!

They fled from their home countries. Now, they’ll compete in Paris for the Olympic refugee team.

@AP followed four refugee Olympians from across the world. Our story with @RenataBritoAP @kugrieshaber & @DaniellaMatar: https://t.co/knrk4AoGIe

@Alexander_Avina *Offer does not apply if you arrive at the US-Mexico border seeking asylum

[Ari Sawyer @AriMSawyer]

So proud to release this beautiful and devastating project in collaboration with the @colibricenter.

For 30 years, US border policies have killed and led to the disappearance of tens of thousands of mostly Indigenous, Brown, and Black people.

It's time for a new approach.

@ce_tracey @FluentMundo Oh I’m not offended by your post! It’s true!!

With 31 million Nigerians projected by the U.N. to face acute hunger this year, @lagosfoodbank — with help from a GFN grant — has begun partnering with farmers to recover healthy surplus produce.

I’m in the forthcoming print issue of @VanityFair, accompanying tremendous photos by Go Nakamura with an essay on how a global displacement crisis has ended up on the doorstep of a country that has put as little thought as possible into what happens next. https://t.co/N1atAWqRhL

[Félix Márquez @felyxmarquez]

I worked these last few days on this report that demonstrates the Mexican strategy for immigration control: tiring migrants and squeezing their money.

Wow what a quote from a Chinese asylum seeker. Americans must hear from these people!

[The Global FoodBanking Network @foodbanking]

For Velquiz Garcia, these surplus sweet potatoes and apples recovered from farms in Honduras are #MoreThanFood.

They are a catalyst for a family’s generational health in a country where 19% of the population is undernourished.

One thing Biden is doing that Trump DID NOT do in his asylum ban: the admin. is making it HARDER for asylum-seekers from having the chance to enter the U.S. and get lesser forms of protection in court after being denied asylum.

[Jacob Soboroff @jacobsoboroff]

On the day of this border announcement, also worth noting the Biden admin also continues to fight families separated by Trump in court over restitution and has held exactly zero people accountable for the policy Biden himself called “criminal.”

“ We've got to figure out how to waste less food because we're already putting in all the resources, the water, the land, the labor to grow this food. And then you have 1/3 of it being thrown away.”

Earlier this year, I got to travel to Tegucigalpa to see how @BAH_Honduras rescues surplus produce from farms and delivers it to some of the most marginalized communities in the city, with @foodbanking's support. See how it works here: https://t.co/Bre7Fq4xzM
