ODA is not charity, it is a smart and strategic investment in and for a healthier, safer, and more equitable world.

An illustration of the Charles Bridge in Prague with a text that reads: "The Charles Bridge in Prague revolutionised the relationship between East and West, unlocking prosperity through connection and collaboration. Be the architect of a stronger Europe. Europe's economic strength is built on opening doors, not closing them. A prosperous Europe needs trusted global partnerships."
Europe thrives when it opens doors, not closes them. The Charles Bridge once connected distant economies, just like smart EU investments today. A prosperous Europe needs global partnerships, especially in Africa.

🧵👋 Hi, I'm a peace and justice writer
I was slow to dump Twitter. Years of writing attracted 4,000 followers. I felt I was persuading folks.
In the past few months, my followers have surpassed 10,000.
Here's a 🧵 on GETTING YOUR ADVOCACY TO A WIDER AUDIENCE VIA BLUESKY (I'll keep adding to this)
Foreign Aid Freeze Leaves Millions Without H.I.V. Treatment www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/h...
rally in DC
rally announcement
📣On the street today with hundreds of fellow New Yorkers to call on our Democratic leadership, @SenSchumer & @SenGillibrand to stand up & fight back.
🚨Please join us tomorrow in DC to stop the global attack on people living with HIV.
⏰11 am in front of the State Department.
Countries will make all attempts possible to fill the gap, but does the US government realize how many lives of people living with #HIV, #TB and many others hang in the balance—without timely testing, treatment, or even the right information? #GlobalHealth www.tiktok.com/@cbsnews/vid...

“On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs. Essential personnel expected to continue working will be informed by Agency leadership by Thursday, February 6, at 3:00pm (EST). For USAID personnel currently posted outside the United States, the Agency, in coordination with missions and the Department of State, is currently preparing a plan, in accordance with all applicable requirements and laws, under which the Agency would arrange and pay for return travel to the United States within 30 days and provide for the termination of PSC and ISC contracts that are not determined to be essential. The Agency will consider case-by-case exceptions and return travel extensions based on personal or family hardship, mobility or safety concerns, or other reasons. For example, the Agency will consider exceptions based on the timing of dependents’ school term, personal or familial medical needs, pregnancy, and other reasons. Further guidance on how to request an exception will be forthcoming. Thank you for your service”
USAID’s website has been deleted, all that is left is a note saying all personnel are now on administrative leave and personnel outside the US are to be brought home. Completely illegal, no act of congress or even executive order was signed to dismantle the agency
Hi. No video from me today as I'm not feeling well. But two things: 1. @tbfighters.org have been doing an amazing job keeping folks updated on the aid freeze in the U.S., what it means, and what we can do. newsletter.tbfighters.org/p/update-on-...
They're doing a call-a-thon tonight! (1/2)
protest info
📢Join a protest against the PEPFAR freeze this Thursday, the 6th of February.
🇺🇸It's at the State Department starting at 11 am.
My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”
