Serving as Policy Director for First Lady Michelle Obama was such an honor and privilege. I've always admired her exceptional ability to meet the audience where they are and deliver a unifying message that transcends partisan politics. Looking forward to her DNC speech tonight!

“Do Something.” Electrifying remarks from @michelleobama last night. From the day I started working for her to now, she remains an inspiration above partisan politics. Now is not the time to sit on the sidelines. Fight for what you believe is right.

"Hope is making a comeback.” This was the message that stuck with me from former First Lady Michelle Obama this week. It’s heartening to see a new wave of optimism emerge in pursuit of a brighter future.

Today is #WomensEqualityDay. For so many women, equality is not a reality. Global Refuge we are proud to have a majority-women staff and proud to fight for so many women who flee persecution. I am reminded of the story of Muzghan, an inspiration to all. bit.ly/3X0JuSX

Around the world, only 6% of CEOs are women. Only 8.4% of boards have female chairs, and around 23% of board seats are filled by women. Global gender parity for CEOs may not happen until 2111. This is a marathon and a sprint. We must keep up the work. bit.ly/3XloAPD

We keep hearing politicians use terms like “a massive invasion” when referring to what’s been happening at the Southern border this summer. That’s simply not the case right now. Here are the facts.

Three years ago, the United States departed Afghanistan, leaving behind thousands of Afghan allies. We still haven’t made good on our promises to them. Congress must pass the Afghan Adjustment Act on the NDAA. Sign our action alert now! bit.ly/4g0bvD1

As Krish O'Mara Vignarajah says, our promise of protection to the allies of America’s longest war is far from fulfilled. Our military presence may be gone, but our moral obligation remains.

NEW: State Dep't data on the US Refugee Admissions Program show that 9,520 people were resettled in Aug, bringing the FY24 total to 84,271 with one month to go. It's taken time since the steep cuts of the previous admin, but these resettlement #'s are the highest in 3 decades.

“Does border security mean we have to separate migrant children from their parents? That we have to round up, detain & deport 10 million people? Does it mean we have to build an exorbitantly expensive & ineffective border wall?” asks Krish O'Mara Vignarajah 👇 graydc.com/2024/09/05/pre…
