It is not only young people like @GretaThunberg who are calling for #climate action. Farmers in Niger are every bit as passionate as young activists. For them climate change is not a far off existential crisis—it is urgently real today. linkedin.com/pulse/we-cant-w…

Tune in to hear Mercy Corps' CEO @nealkg chat with @brianlibby about the story behind our #Portland HQ—and how this translates to our lifechanging work abroad and here in Portland. #architecture xraypod.com/show/in-search-o…
We cannot stand by and let these attacks on innocent civilians continue. I stand with my fellow humanitarians and leaders around the world to say:
We see you.
You are not forgotten.
You are #NotATarget.

To end the refugee crisis, we need to solve why people flee: Violence.
Around the world, we see conflict flare over these three causes. This #WorldRefugeeDay, see how (and why) we're tackling the refugee crisis at both ends—and how you can help: buff.ly/2WMmYMx
In today’s fractured world, his work and teachings are more important than ever. We will apply with urgency—especially the chronic conflicts of our times (Syria, Yemen, South Sudan) and in honor of this great man.
We mourn the death of David Hamburg—a conflict management and peace building giant. nytimes.com/2019/04/23/obitu…
My heart is heavy, and with the @mercycorps team in Nigeria and around the world as we mourn the senseless loss of our colleague Faye Mooney who was killed in an attack this weekend in Kaduna State, Nigeria. We grieve with her family during this time. mercycorps.org/press-room/re…
Our thoughts are with Dr. Richard Valery Mouzoko Kiboung's family, friends and colleagues @WHO at this difficult time.
Our hearts go out to the family, friends & colleagues of Dr. Richard Valery Mouzoko Kiboung @WHO after his senseless & tragic death. The escalating violence & attacks on aid workers of the #Ebola response in eastern #DRC cannot continue. Too many lives are at stake. #NotATarget

I'm excited to welcome @vijaya -- #entrepreneur, #tech and finance leader, champion for women -- to @mercycorps' board of directors. Her experience, keen insight and bold leadership will no doubt make a big impact in the years ahead. ht.ly/lh7g30mfSMz
Millions of people are #displaced right now due to conflict. Let’s learn from the crises in #Yemen, #Syria, #Iraq and elsewhere and take action now to prevent -- not simply respond to -- violence. ow.ly/JnON30lYaxN
As we convene for #UNGA this week, we must resist the temptation to focus solely on current crises, including #Yemen and #Syria. Let's address the underlying causes and prevent violence before it starts.
To avoid another #Yemen, #Syria or #Iraq, we must prevent #violence before it erupts. Let's prioritize helping at-risk communities improve governance, promote fair economic growth and protect natural resources. #PeaceDay #InternationalDayOfPeace buff.ly/2I4Nc78
Honored to be part of @NonprofitTimes' gala tonight, and proud to be named a #nonprofit leader. Together, we're building a stronger future for all. thenonprofittimes.com/power-…
"While the world has not caught up with Raqqa [&] has yet to invest in the work now underway, the city is doing its best to look forward" Great read by our board member @gaylelemmon about the critical role women are playing in rebuilding #Raqqa @DefenseOne defenseone.com/ideas/2018/08…
RIP, @KofiAnnan. Your grace and humble greatness made the world better. You launched and led an international effort to eliminate poverty and hunger — the #MDG’s. May your spirit continue to call the human family to a higher place — where unity, cooperation and peace prevail.
A moving article about our common #humanity. Our world is often fractured by politics, religions & so-called tribes. My hope is that we're able to reinforce the things that unite us all. nytimes.com/2018/08/11/opini…
Proud to be included in @NonprofitTimes' list of #nonprofit leaders dedicated to working together to build the greater good: thenonprofittimes.com/news-a…
The U.S. plays a leading role in #refugee #policy. Eliminating the Bureau of Population, Refugees & Migration (PRM) office would impact our nation's ability to be heard at the global table. reuters.com/article/us-usa-i… @SecPompeo

We must invest not only in emergency relief, but in #peacebuilding, conflict resolution & resiliency. My response to @OECDdev's #StatesOfFragility report feat. @MercyCorps director @RebeccaJWolfe: ow.ly/JI7j30l5jxn
Great to see @MercyCorps' cash transfer + vocational training program in #Afghanistan featured in @OECDdev's new #StatesOfFragility report. We need short + long-term programs to help people in fragile contexts. ow.ly/AnMX30l5jsZ
It was my great honor to present @mercycorps' Humanitarian Hero Award to @SallyOsberg last night. Under Sally’s leadership, the @SkollFoundation has invested in social entrepreneurs worldwide.

To mark #WorldRefugeeDay, we're celebrating the most promising technologies & innovations changing lives for refugees. Khabrona.Info is one of those. Through a partnership with @Microsoft @Cisco @TripAdvisor @Google & @theIRC we are able to make this work possible. teapawt.net/mercycorps/status/1009…
Many refugees are as reliant on their phones as the rest of us. It's often their way they have to communicate with loved ones.
That's why we're using mobile technology to help ease the challenges they face in their new homes. #WorldRefugeeDay ow.ly/rKyW30kANcX
