One girl every three seconds. 48 hours to change that. This year, #InternationalDayoftheGirl was built around a single call to action: end early marriage and invest in girls' rights. We know exactly how to answer that call. Give now for 2X the impact ➡️ bit.ly/47iuENc

As world leaders converge in New York this week for #UNGA81 and #ClimateWeekNYC, we will be listening and learning alongside our partners, #SkollAwardees, and other changemakers as they surface evidence-based, proximate solutions to the challenges before us. You can catch our team members at some of these events: - Monday: Our partners @RoomtoRead, @lastmilehealth, and @OneAcreFund will gather for “Education as Infrastructure: How Learning Powers Progress,” hosted by The Sidebar (another valued partner!) to explore why investing in learning is foundational to many of the issues we care about: health, agriculture, and economic development. Join the waitlist to attend: luma.com/auhb7exs - Tuesday: We’ll join our partners @INBreakthrough, @fundaparaguaya, @VisionSpring, @BlueVentures, and @videoconsortium at The Impact Lounge to celebrate the impact of the years-long partnership known as “Solutions Inside Out.” Attendees will screen four films from the Solutions Storytelling Project, a Skoll-supported initiative led by Video Consortium that connects regional filmmakers with social innovators to produce short, solutions-focused documentaries that catalyze positive change. Register to attend: events.humanitix.com/impact-… - Tuesday: Our partner @TenureFacility will be at Reciprocity House, bringing together Indigenous Peoples, local community organizations, funders, and others working on land rights and security. View the program and RSVP: luma.com/user/usr-XGsb9OQNPL… We’re grateful for the chance to come together with so many social entrepreneurs and innovators to deepen community relationships and drive progress and collaboration across sectors.

Room to Read retweeted
Every reader remembers a book that changed something. The first story that sparked curiosity. The first character who felt like a friend. The first book that made the world feel bigger. Today, millions of children are still waiting for that experience. I’m supporting @RoomtoRead’s #MakeRoomtoRead campaign to help put books into children’s hands and create opportunities that can last a lifetime. If you’re able, please join me by making a gift. Just $1 can put a brand-new book in the hands of a child waiting to turn their first page. Together, we can make room for more first pages, first stories and first dreams. ➡ roomtoread.org/make-room
