On the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration Human Rights, we should celebrate - not because of those who wrote it - but because of all those who have disrupted history with it. We need a UDHR for the next century of rights. Join us: https://t.co/CQ9FaoKflj

Congratulations @wbaidlaw for winning @TheComNetwork's #JonesAward for #Comms4Good. Very impressed with how you target key audiences via synchronized legal, advocacy, & comms strategies to protect whistleblowers speaking truth to power. Impressive.

#CivicSpace plays a vital role in building movements and keeping #democracy alive. People across the political spectrum must be able to dissent and demand rights.

#WeavingResilience is a new type of philanthropy that will fortify #CivicSpace by strengthening and connecting civil society organizations and leaders across the Global South.

It’s time for a new model of philanthropy in the Global South. I’m thrilled to introduce #WeavingResilience, @FordFoundation’s new initiative to strengthen #CivilSociety by fortifying organizations and leaders driving change in 12 countries.

Only 3% of the world’s population has access to open #CivicSpace. Without it, people don’t have a voice in decisions that affect them. Introducing #WeavingResilience, our new initiative that will strengthen civil society across the Global South to protect civic space.

In @NYTOpinion, I argue the consequences of climate change, the next pandemic, or the next recession will require us to reform our international rules-based order to repair historic wrongs and seize new opportunities for progress. https://t.co/PR0YDpeEod #UNGA #ReimagineRecovery
