“Reading opens doors to imagination and opportunity.
That’s why today, I celebrated @UnitedWay’s #ReadAcrossAmerica2024 by reading to first grade students at J.N. Ervin Elementary School in Dallas. By reading to students in your communities, you can inspire a lifelong love of reading. Thank you, Mrs. Wallace, for letting me share my love of reading with your classroom.” — Mrs. @laurawbush

On this #InternationalWomensDay, I’m grateful for courageous women leaders like my friend Tatu Msangi, a single mother who learned she was HIV-positive during pregnancy and enrolled in a program to prevent mother-to-child transmission.

We were happy to see Faith and Tatu recently when the @TheBushCenter marked the 20th anniversary of PEPFAR. Thanks to PEPFAR, 25 million lives have been saved, and 5.5 million babies like Faith have been born HIV-free in the last two decades.

This #WomensDay, we celebrate the hope and opportunity PEPFAR has given to strong women and girls, like Faith and Tatu, around the world. We must all continue to support PEPFAR as we fight to end AIDS as a public health threat.

Grateful to congressional leaders supporting the “Women’s Suff. Nat’l Monument Location Act.”
The Nationall Mall is where ‘we the people’ showcase our history. It’s the land that holds our national memory.
And it’s where the #WomensMonument belongs.

This is a critical moment for us to counter autocrats who target women. It is time to stand with the women of Iran as they demand respect for their fundamental rights. Learn more and sign the letter of solidarity at womanlifefreedom.today.
