[We Are (Family Found)ation @WeAreFamilyFdtn]

“THE CREATIVES” ✊ @WeAreFamilyFdtn is honored to introduce “The Creatives” — the newest #YouthToTheFrontFund Frontliners representing 26 countries on 5 continents and 9 states in the United States.

“The Creatives” encompass 25 artivists, collectives, cultural storytellers and creative organizers who use their voice and the power of art to address systemic injustice and shift narratives in local and global communities.

“The Creatives” were introduced last night in a 30-second Art Ad aired on @NBCUniversal’s Saturday Night Live @NBCSNL. Directed by Michael Holman, acclaimed filmmaker and Jean-Michel Basquiat collaborator, this intergenerational video spans generations of creatives, featuring @NileRodgers’ chart-topping hit “Unforgiven” with K-Pop stars @Le_Sserafim.

“The Creatives” employ diverse artistic mediums as storytelling practices and justice-driven projects honoring Black, Indigenous and People of Color communities around the world. They are:

→ Creating safe spaces for marginalized and underrepresented communities
→ Spearheading education equity, community engagement and freedom of speech
→ Advocating for LGBTQIA+, climate, arts, gender, social justice — and more

[Dumisani Washington @DumisaniTemsgen]

Imagine being a Jewish man or woman living outside of Israel, especially in the Western world (US, UK, Canada), and seeing hundreds of thousands of people — of various ethnicities and around the world — cheering the slaughter of your people in the Jewish homeland. Imagine trying to figure out where the safest place would be for you and your family.

Now, multiply that by 1,000 and you may get a small glimpse of what our Jewish brothers and sisters are experiencing right now.

Florida wants to teach about "skills" slaves obtained in the antebellum south because "beneficent" slaveholders taught their slaves to read, write, blacksmithing, etc. They say this is supported by "scholars." Well, let's see what the scholars really say.../1

[The Problem With Jon Stewart @TheProblem]

Jon interviewed Leslie Rutledge, Arkansas Attorney General, about why her state banned gender-affirming care for minors - ignoring the guidelines of major medical organizations and taking the decision out of parents’ hands. Watch the full interview on @AppleTVPlus

"I think about accessibility in a couple different ways. One is that if you have medicines available at a clinic or a health center, but the individual or community member has no way to get to the clinic, those medicines are not accessible." - @julievarughese #Partner4Health

[Jed Selkowitz 🌻 @jedselk]

Amazing start to the @Americares Partner Summit. Medicine Security is essential to support over 2 billion people who lack access to essential medicines and supplies. More to come at 11:10am ET - #ClimateChange. #Partner4Health

@Morning_Joe touched on a critical issue today - lack of access to health services for pregnant Ukrainian women. Women are being forced to give birth in subway stations and bomb shelters and forgoing prenatal care. @Americares is responding. Watch: https://t.co/HpfRi3kFVC

[Jed Selkowitz 🌻 @jedselk]

The crisis in #Ukraine is ongoing and essential medicines and medical supplies are in critical need. @Americares is committed to the relief effort long term and to sending over 100 tons of aid within 30 days.

[Americares @Americares]

Today, Americares is pleased to announce our plans to have 100 tons of critically needed medicine and medical supplies delivered to Ukraine, or on the way, within the next 30 days. For more information, read our full press release here, https://t.co/eIoSa4RkTG.

Glad Delta walked this back, but "a more manageable" virus still underrepresents the threat of COVID-19 to people globally. Thousands of people are still dying every day from COVID-19 (over 400/day in the U.S.) and millions continue to suffer from long COVID symptoms. 😷

We want to thank @Americares for assisting us in our Ukraine relief work and for creating this video about the services we are providing to the refugees. Our work would not be possible without our incredible donors and institutional partners. We’re grateful to have their support.
