Some news: I'm now leading media relations and strategy for the Global @foodbanking Network. Thrilled to advocate for our community-led foodbanks in nearly 50 countries. Expect to hear from me about creative solutions to #hunger and our #climate impact on food loss & waste

They fled from their home countries. Now, they’ll compete in Paris for the Olympic refugee team.

So proud to release this beautiful and devastating project in collaboration with the @colibricenter.
For 30 years, US border policies have killed and led to the disappearance of tens of thousands of mostly Indigenous, Brown, and Black people.
It's time for a new approach.

People migrating to the US have increasingly died or disappeared while traversing the treacherous US-Mexico land border.
30 years ago, the US government launched Prevention Through Deterrence, with policies explicitly aimed at forcing irregular migrants onto "hostile terrain."

With 31 million Nigerians projected by the U.N. to face acute hunger this year, @lagosfoodbank — with help from a GFN grant — has begun partnering with farmers to recover healthy surplus produce.

I’m in the forthcoming print issue of @VanityFair, accompanying tremendous photos by Go Nakamura with an essay on how a global displacement crisis has ended up on the doorstep of a country that has put as little thought as possible into what happens next. vanityfair.com/news/story/th…

I worked these last few days on this report that demonstrates the Mexican strategy for immigration control: tiring migrants and squeezing their money.

For Velquiz Garcia, these surplus sweet potatoes and apples recovered from farms in Honduras are #MoreThanFood.
They are a catalyst for a family’s generational health in a country where 19% of the population is undernourished.

One thing Biden is doing that Trump DID NOT do in his asylum ban: the admin. is making it HARDER for asylum-seekers from having the chance to enter the U.S. and get lesser forms of protection in court after being denied asylum.

On the day of this border announcement, also worth noting the Biden admin also continues to fight families separated by Trump in court over restitution and has held exactly zero people accountable for the policy Biden himself called “criminal.”

Notable - from nearly five years ago:
Trump is fighting tooth & nail to deny those fleeing dangerous situations their right to seek asylum in our nation. We should uphold our moral responsibility & enforce our immigration laws with dignity—not turn away those fleeing violence, war, & poverty.

“ We've got to figure out how to waste less food because we're already putting in all the resources, the water, the land, the labor to grow this food. And then you have 1/3 of it being thrown away.”

Earlier this year, I got to travel to Tegucigalpa to see how @BAH_Honduras rescues surplus produce from farms and delivers it to some of the most marginalized communities in the city, with @foodbanking's support. See how it works here: youtube.com/watch?v=WTfyswry…

The aid sector is overstretched, underfunded, unaccountable and seemingly unable to cope with exploding needs. I wrote about why local charities are now seen as the future of humanitarianism but still receive barely any donor money.
