Today's Axios AM newsletter talked about "Surviving the Communications Hellscape" (dramatic, but apt):

“Consumer attention has shattered into hundreds, if not thousands, of shards of different-sized glass.”

Sen. Graham, you know better than most that PEPFAR has not worked in Russia for more than a decade. You know the program's incredible successes. You are validating misinformation and jeopardizing your long time support of the the U.S. global response to HIV.

The Senate must vote NO on the rescissions package next week. These cuts represent a significant rollback of bipartisan investments and partnerships & threaten the nation’s reputation as a leader in global health. #GlobalHealth #ForeignAssistance

The global health community is calling on Congress to reject the $9.4 Billion #Rescissions Package. Continued U.S. investment in #GlobalHealth is a strategic imperative for national security, economic stability & American leadership.

Nailed it! Philanthropy - are you paying attention? We need you to be bold!
"We understand from allies in philanthropy that funders, for their part, don’t see themselves as retreating...

Yet for civil society, this restraint feels indistinguishable from abandonment. Because it leaves those working closest to the challenge bearing most of the risk."
COVID Was the Rehearsal (SSIR)
Just a few years ago, philanthropy showed what it could be at its best: nimble, coordinated, unusually brave. This time, facing the sudden slashing of foreign aid, the cavalry is quieter.
