It is not only young people like @GretaThunberg who are calling for #climate action. Farmers in Niger are every bit as passionate as young activists. For them climate change is not a far off existential crisis—it is urgently real today. https://t.co/ptmWCuTSEq
Tune in to hear Mercy Corps' CEO @nealkg chat with @brianlibby about the story behind our #Portland HQ—and how this translates to our lifechanging work abroad and here in Portland. #architecture https://t.co/JkWjnsyp8N
We cannot stand by and let these attacks on innocent civilians continue. I stand with my fellow humanitarians and leaders around the world to say:
We see you.
You are not forgotten.
You are #NotATarget.
#TheWorldIsWatching
To end the refugee crisis, we need to solve why people flee: Violence.
Around the world, we see conflict flare over these three causes. This #WorldRefugeeDay, see how (and why) we're tackling the refugee crisis at both ends—and how you can help: https://t.co/0UtUr1slUE
In today’s fractured world, his work and teachings are more important than ever. We will apply with urgency—especially the chronic conflicts of our times (Syria, Yemen, South Sudan) and in honor of this great man.
My heart is heavy, and with the @mercycorps team in Nigeria and around the world as we mourn the senseless loss of our colleague Faye Mooney who was killed in an attack this weekend in Kaduna State, Nigeria. We grieve with her family during this time. https://t.co/SBJ4rbXq2X
Our hearts go out to the family, friends & colleagues of Dr. Richard Valery Mouzoko Kiboung @WHO after his senseless & tragic death. The escalating violence & attacks on aid workers of the #Ebola response in eastern #DRC cannot continue. Too many lives are at stake. #NotATarget
I'm excited to welcome @vijaya -- #entrepreneur, #tech and finance leader, champion for women -- to @mercycorps' board of directors. Her experience, keen insight and bold leadership will no doubt make a big impact in the years ahead. https://t.co/OKAjxirIdL
Millions of people are #displaced right now due to conflict. Let’s learn from the crises in #Yemen, #Syria, #Iraq and elsewhere and take action now to prevent -- not simply respond to -- violence. https://t.co/eDIHe4mTNw
As we convene for #UNGA this week, we must resist the temptation to focus solely on current crises, including #Yemen and #Syria. Let's address the underlying causes and prevent violence before it starts.
To avoid another #Yemen, #Syria or #Iraq, we must prevent #violence before it erupts. Let's prioritize helping at-risk communities improve governance, promote fair economic growth and protect natural resources. #PeaceDay#InternationalDayOfPeace https://t.co/IEsAPZMPRP
Honored to be part of @NonprofitTimes' gala tonight, and proud to be named a #nonprofit leader. Together, we're building a stronger future for all. https://t.co/BCOQfe1ac0
"While the world has not caught up with Raqqa [&] has yet to invest in the work now underway, the city is doing its best to look forward" Great read by our board member @gaylelemmon about the critical role women are playing in rebuilding #Raqqa@DefenseOne https://t.co/XMYVfIwGFh
RIP, @KofiAnnan. Your grace and humble greatness made the world better. You launched and led an international effort to eliminate poverty and hunger — the #MDG’s. May your spirit continue to call the human family to a higher place — where unity, cooperation and peace prevail.
A moving article about our common #humanity. Our world is often fractured by politics, religions & so-called tribes. My hope is that we're able to reinforce the things that unite us all. https://t.co/DoyNBemy3R
The U.S. plays a leading role in #refugee#policy. Eliminating the Bureau of Population, Refugees & Migration (PRM) office would impact our nation's ability to be heard at the global table. https://t.co/EnVunB0lWy @SecPompeo
@SecPompeo-- the Bureau of Population, Refugees & Migration (PRM) has enjoyed years of bipartisan support. Eliminating PRM from State could have serious implications for our country & vulnerable #refugees: https://t.co/EnVunB0lWy @StatePRM
We must invest not only in emergency relief, but in #peacebuilding, conflict resolution & resiliency. My response to @OECDdev's #StatesOfFragility report feat. @MercyCorps director @RebeccaJWolfe: https://t.co/lk6Kkmp29W
Great to see @MercyCorps' cash transfer + vocational training program in #Afghanistan featured in @OECDdev's new #StatesOfFragility report. We need short + long-term programs to help people in fragile contexts. https://t.co/qmfhD3bTYr
It was my great honor to present @mercycorps' Humanitarian Hero Award to @SallyOsberg last night. Under Sally’s leadership, the @SkollFoundation has invested in social entrepreneurs worldwide.
