World leaders, do better! This is my call to action for the 2025 Global Disability Summit, taking place in Berlin April 2-3rd. As emcee of the conference I want to see the commitments proclaimed, matched with financial resources and announcements of disabled experts being placed in more senior leadership positions. We, the disability community, must lead this work. So, I welcome government, corporate, UN, finance and civil society organizations to make room for us to lead. Global Citizen thank you for your continued support!

What happens when foreign aid is suddenly cut off? The fight against HIV/AIDS has been one of the greatest public health victories of the past two decades—saving millions of lives and preventing thousands of infections every day. But in just a matter of weeks, that progress is unraveling. Across Africa, clinics are shutting down, frontline health workers are being sent home, and millions of people living with HIV now face an impossible reality: no access to life-saving medication. This powerful Financial Times piece by Monica Mark tells the human story behind the policy decisions—people like Samkelo, who has just days’ worth of medication left and no clear way to get more.
