Thanks to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, more than 1 billion children have been immunized against the world’s deadliest diseases, like tuberculosis and malaria. Now the U.S. government is reportedly planning to end its support for Gavi—support that’s been critical to this progress

I’m so excited to announce that I’m going on tour for my new book, The Next Day! I’ll be making stops in New York City, Nashville, Washington D.C., Austin, Chicago, and Seattle, where I’ll be in conversation with some truly remarkable women.

Rosalynn Carter led heroic efforts to get caregivers more support and recognition, and her advocacy has long inspired my own work on this issue. I'm thankful for the ways @RCICaregiving continues to honor her legacy by championing caregivers across the country 💞

I’m so excited to introduce you to my new book, The Next Day. I have to be honest with you: I never expected to write a book like this. But then again, there’s a lot that’s happened in my life lately that I didn’t see coming. This book is near and dear to my heart because it’s https://t.co/EXSBh0t1vG

Contraceptives are a life-changing, life-saving tool that women around the world depend on to safeguard their health, their families, and their futures. But today the Trump Administration acted to reinstate dangerous global health funding restrictions that will limit access to

It cannot be emphasized enough: Cutting global funding for reproductive care and other essential health services would be devastating—and even deadly—for women and children around the world. The stories of the women in this piece by @NickKristof show why. https://t.co/2DrreHdy6F

My hero Jimmy Carter was a peacemaker, a public servant, a man of faith, a devoted partner to Rosalynn—and a Guinea worm’s worst nightmare. I knew him best as a global health advocate and deeply admired his dedication to taking on diseases that impact the world’s poorest
