Globally, a lack of medical oxygen–needed to treat pneumonia, malaria, and other diseases–leads to hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. @BernardOlayo founded @Hewa_Tele to address this often-overlooked challenge. https://t.co/TSea0oyDjP

This hero is playing a critical role in Kenya’s preparations to tackle COVID-19 by scaling up medical oxygen supplies that will be needed to keep the most critically ill patients alive. https://t.co/U2YcRgzSDA

RT @nationalbook: "And I’ll never lose my faith that you and I can create an anti-racist America where racial disparities are nonexistent. Where Americans are no longer manipulated by racist ideas. Where Black lives matter." - @DrIbram accepting the 2016 #NBAwards for Nonfiction https://t.co/GSCYDTGcxB

RT @JohnBKing: Thinking today about my great-grandfather & his family who were enslaved here in Montgomery County, Maryland (just about 25 miles from where I live). Seeking to honor their memory through working to dismantle systemic racism & advance justice. #Juneteenth https://t.co/2Q6CSfg2A9

RT @Lupita_Nyongo: 1. This is Opal Lee, the force behind the movement to make #Juneteenth a national holiday. Also known as Freedom Day, it is the day that commemorates when slavery officially ended in the USA. At 93, Mrs. Lee keeps banging the drum for the recognition of this day. https://t.co/qrs9im0YWl

RT @tanzinavega: Opal is 93 years old and a great interview. Take a listen https://t.co/HWQYIQRoFQ

I am committed to listening and learning more about systemic racism and what I can do with my actions and words to help create a more equal and just future. Black lives matter.

…in policing, criminal justice, education, health care, housing, the workplace and all other areas of their lives.

The horrifying killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and far too many other Black people—and the protests they sparked—are shining a light on the brutal injustices that Black people experience every day…

I continue to be inspired by all of the volunteers (including many retired health care workers and teachers) on the front lines of the fight against coronavirus each day. https://t.co/l38koBgE1P

Here are five books to read this summer if you want to learn more about pandemics or are looking for a distraction: https://t.co/B5AX6d7uah https://t.co/jSvUXQ3Buo

Melinda recommended that I read The Choice, and I’m glad she did. I think many people will find comfort right now from Dr. Edith Eva Eger's suggestions on how to handle difficult situations. https://t.co/GzeUnPsw1w

Today is #RedNoseDay. Their work has made an incredible impact to reduce child poverty in the US and around the world. https://t.co/4u6jgNzfJQ

The 1918 influenza outbreak is the closest comparison to what we’re living through right now. John Barry does a great job explaining the realities and lessons of that devastating pandemic. https://t.co/dG1RKAK0in

Most of my conversations these days are about COVID-19 and how we can stem the tide, but I’m also often asked about what I am reading and watching. Here are my 2020 summer book recommendations (plus a few other ideas for things to do at home). https://t.co/BKlfaP3nTS

@narendramodi @gatesfoundation Thank you for the conversation and partnership, @narendramodi. Combating the pandemic requires global collaboration. India’s role is key as the world works to minimize social and economic impact, and pave the way to vaccine, testing, and treatment access for all. @PMOIndia

I’m hopeful that this program will improve our understanding of the coronavirus outbreak in Seattle and provide valuable information about the virus for other communities around the world. https://t.co/wnFarp28ys

RT @melindagates: When will America be able to get back to work? 

The answer depends on whether workers have caregiving options they can rely on. I write in the @washingtonpost about why caregiving must be a priority.  https://t.co/TyuEpben4o
