WE DID IT! Yesterday, on March 4th, 2023, after years of talks, delay and emotional rollercoaster, governments finally concluded a Global Ocean Treaty!!! I am so grateful for everyone, including @Greenpeace , who helped to make this historic win possible. #IGC5 #BBNJ

It delights me to think that what feels historical and amazing to us today—a woman sworn in to the vice presidency—will seem normal, obvious, "of course" to Kamala's grand-nieces as they grow up. And they will be right.
I can't even imagine. Please donate what you can. gofundme.com/the-gershman-fa…
so beautiful.
In these days of anxiety, I wanted to find a way to continue to share some of the music that gives me comfort. The first of my #SongsOfComfort: Dvořák – "Going Home”
Stay safe.
This is so incredibly inspiring! And exactly what needs to be happening right now.
Hundreds of protesters are now in lanes on the Golden Gate Bridge for the #BlackLivesMatter demonstration in San Francisco. Here's what it looked like a little while ago. Watch live here: abc7ne.ws/30eLpaF

After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence? ‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November. @realdonaldtrump

Women and girls often face higher risks from #ClimateChange than men. It is therefore critical that #ClimateAction is inclusive and participatory.
At #COP25 in Madrid, countries agreed a more #gender-responsive approach to #ClimateAction👉 bit.ly/2U4o9JE #ActOnTheGAP
