I’m always up for trying to rock African Women Rights Advocates swag!

A powerful fireside chat between donors & civil society at the #WD2023 FGM Pre-Conference, focused on eliminating the funding gap in the #FGM sector. We heard from donors like Wallace Global Fund & AmplifyChange who continue to fund & support Asia Network to End FGM/C ✊🏽



Sadia Hussein Shujaa_Sadia Hussein (HSC) at #ICFGM2023 requests everyone to support the #FrontlineEndingFGM movement by giving it their financial support so that we can achieve our goal of #ZeroFGM. #EndFGM #FrontlineEndingFGM


Our partners & grantees were out in force at last week's African Union Int'l Conference on ending #FGM in Tanzania. We must shift the power and drive funding at scale to the activists and survivors on the front lines. #ICFGM2023 #FrontlineEndingFGM #EndFGMGeneration



"What we hope will happen to this ship is she will be towed into dry dock and resurrected as a gorgeous, mixed-use museum development, hotel event space and can be reborn as the American icon that she has been," Susan Gibbs told CBS Philadelphia. cbsnews.com/philadelphia/n…

Thank you Jesse Pesta for telling a big story about a big ship in the The New York Times. The imperiled SS United States now urgently needs a big save!

The SS United States won the equivalent of Olympic gold in the transatlantic speed race. She also epitomized America's optimism and can-do spirit. Now, she's in grave danger and we're trying desperately to save her. SSUS Conservancy nytimes.com/2024/08/09/us/…
