Never in my lifetime did I imagine children would be left to endure such unthinkable trauma. The aid reaching Gaza is nowhere near enough. Most can’t access it, and it won’t stop the hunger, illness, and suffering. I spoke with Margaret Brennan about this crisis.

Thank you Nick Kristoff, for your searing and gutwrenching account of the impact of aidcuts. A waste of money, human potential and hope, indeed. The Waste Musk Created nytimes.com/2025/06/21/opi…

I joined Carl Nasman to talk about the rising death toll in Gaza. Children urgently need medicine, clean water & protection, but aid is severely restricted. This horrific situation is man-made. The violence needs to end or kids will continue to suffer. bit.ly/3ZVLMoP

I’m honored to join the Brookings Global American Enterprise Institute commission on rural poverty alongside Chris Sununu & Heidi Heitkamp.   Save the Children US has served rural America for over 90 years and we’re proud to help drive lasting change for children and communities.

It’s time to retire the term foreign assistance. In Stanford Social Innovation Review, I joined Alex Puutio to explore how the development sector can evolve in the face of government pullbacks—and why this moment of disruption is also a chance to reimagine our future. 🔗 ssir.org/articles/entry…

Hundreds of days into this war, innocent children still die seeking aid. Outrage isn’t enough. The killing of civilians has become routine but it should never be normal. Don’t grow numb. Stay loud. Demand a ceasefire. Demand accountability. Demand humanity.

Thank you @JimSciutto for having me on CNN to spotlight the worsening crisis for kids in Gaza.   Since March 2 aid has barely reached those most in need.   Save the Children US continues to call for full, unimpeded aid access. Over 1M kids remain at risk. youtube.com/watch?v=-OExjS…

Sustainable progress happens when we come together around shared priorities. Special thanks to Senators and staff for your time and commitment to protecting children here in the U.S and Globally. Chuck Grassley Senator Jacky Rosen Senator Jeff Merkley Lindsey Graham Senator Chris Coons

Grateful for meaningful conversations this week with Members of Congress and their staff on bipartisan efforts to protect children living through crisis—from Syria and Afghanistan to the DRC and Myanmar. Rep. Bill Huizenga Rep. Tony Gonzales Rep. Dan Newhouse

Every war is a war against children. 18,500 children killed in Gaza—each with a name, a family, a future stolen. We must see this for what it is and stop it. Ceasefire now. Let aid in.

Proud to be a part of America’s Rural Future – the The Brookings Institution-American Enterprise Institute Commission on U.S. Rural Prosperity – driving solutions to help rural children + families prosper, no matter the zip code. For 90+ years, Save the Children US has stood with rural communities to help kids thrive.
