Solidarity is humanity.
Solidarity is survival.
That is the lesson of 2020.
With the world in disunity and disarray trying to contain the #COVID19 pandemic, let’s learn the lesson and change course for the pivotal period ahead.
It is shameful to see increasing acts of racial discrimination and prejudice as we fight the #COVID19 pandemic - a crisis that affects us all.
We must always #fightracism & prejudice, and promote respect, compassion & equality.

Today’s declaration of a #COVID19 pandemic is a call to action – for everyone, everywhere.
It’s also a call for responsibility & solidarity – as nations united and as people united.

Let’s overcome this common threat together.
UNHCR's Innovation Fund has an entirely new focus: decision-making. Why? Because giving people the ability to make the best possible decisions is crucial to any organization, but particularly one that works with vulnerable populations. https://t.co/3Q3i4cqMRK
It’s appalling to see new reports of people being targeted due to their race, ethnicity or purported association with #COVID19. @WHO once again calls for an end to stigmatization & discrimination at a time when solidarity and compassion must be paramount.

We wanted UNHCR's Innovation Award to be people-centered. It’s not just about fancy ideas. We wanted to attach the idea and the testing of it to the ground and to the people who would be affected by the solutions. https://t.co/Uvmy1MkHxG
