Trained volunteers are sharing warning messages in the #Rohingya camps in their native dialect, using sirens and megaphones, urging everyone to move to safe locations as #CycloneMocha approaches #Bangladesh.

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

Today, SCOTUS made it illegal to consider race for college admissions. But it's still legal to consider gender, legacy status, parents' donations, and athletic ability.

The burning of coal, oil and gas is producing the extreme heat killing people and sickening many more. nytimes.com/live/2023/06/2…

Our brief "An unaccountable response perpetuates people's vulnerabilities" is now out. Crisis-affected people feel physically and mentally unsafe when opportunities to participate are lacking, heightening their vulnerabilities. Read more here 🔗tinyurl.com/mr4ajea5
