Getting some much needed #inspiration and #spiritualfuel by listening to a conversation between Rev. William J. Barber and Laurene Powell Jobs, during the Emerson Collective 's #DialFellowship Summit. Rev. Barber was born two days after the original March on Washington in 1963....and 15 days before four little girls were murdered during the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama. His life is framed by the search for justice and the consequences of ignorance and hatred. So grateful that Rev. Barber has the courage to speak truth to power. #PoorPeoplesCampaign #marchonwashington #marchonwashington2020 #nojusticenopeace #racialjustice …see more

I'm wearing several hats these days while I get my grind on, and this morning's chapeau is from The Aspen Institute . It's so fulfilling to support people like Erasma Beras-Monticciolo , who's the Executive Director of Power of Two community organization in New York. Her latest OpEd, published on Medium , highlights the critically important role that frontline community advocates play in supporting families during #COVID19 . Erasma's honest insights about the stressors of providing support to vulnerable children and families are eye-opening. But she also illustrates how people who do this work are resilient and creative, and the entire community is indebted to them for their efforts. The Aspen Healthy Communities Fellows are all on the frontlines of urgent issues in America, and it's an honor to help them amplify their voices. #pandemicresponse #childrenandfamilies #socialservices #communityoutreach #AspenHCF …see more

Let one of the smartest scientists I've ever met on any continent, the "@Afrocientist" himself, Dr. Tom Kariuki , explain the most critical challenges and opportunities that would be yielded if African governments truly embraced the power of #scientificresearch . In his role as Director of Programmes for the African Academy of Sciences , Dr. Kariuki brilliantly articulates the gaps and synergies that must be addressed and leveraged. I believe the #AAS is at the forefront of the "Africa is Rising" movement, and that #scientists and #researchers will produce the evidence that fuels innovation and transformation on the continent.

Watch Charles Johnson IV celebrate the passage of H.R. 1318, the Preventing Maternal Deaths Act, which passed unanimously on Dec. 11th.

On Dec. 13, the Senate passed its own version of the bill, sending it to the President to sign.
