Heartbroken by the loss of our friends, seven @WCKitchen team members. Aid workers should NEVER be targets. Sending love to their families. The world needs to demand a #ceasefire!

In the heart of war-torn Ukrainian cities, we witness a different battle—fought with compassion and simple meals. @WCKitchen rings hope with essential nourishment amid war’s turmoil. Humbled by survival stories, unwavering spirits, and warmth in dark times. #documentary

We're the storytellers behind the @OneOceanHub mission. Generations tied to water, now fighting to reclaim ancestral land. Forced out in the 80s, their home became a park. Today, united activists of the community, lawyers, and researchers seek justice. #CommunityRights
