"What’s more patriotic than to point out that everyone in the United States, including the women and people of color and LGBT community, that they’re all doing the right thing — everyone is pulling together, everyone is making sacrifices?" bit.ly/3jYbunN
Retweeted by Melinda French Gates .@TaranaBurke started the #MeToo movement by encouraging survivors to tell their stories. In her new memoir, "Unbound," she shares her own. This important book will be at the top of my list. twitter.com/TaranaBurke/st…
No one should have to choose between their paycheck and taking care of themselves or a loved one.
Visit PaidLeaveForAll.org/Take-Action to get in touch with your representatives and urge them to pass #PaidLeave as soon as possible.
#PaidLeave can help speed our recovery and strengthen our economy for families and businesses. Congress has a once-in-a-generation chance to guarantee paid leave for all workers. Let's make sure they do!
Paid leave is public health.
Paid leave is economic security and growth.
Paid leave is time and care for our families.
Paid leave makes us more resilient and prepared.
Paid leave is the commonsense solution and a profound legacy we can leave after the year that we've had.

My thoughts and prayers are with #Afghanistan's women and girls, whose future and safety now hang in the balance. Limiting basic freedoms for women and girls—as we saw under previous Taliban rule—would have devastating consequences for generations to come.
Retweeted by Melinda French Gates National #PaidLeave means no one has to choose between their paycheck & their families during life's challenging moments. And it's a key way to help our country, businesses, & families!
Retweeted by Melinda French Gates We cannot fully or equitably recover from this pandemic unless we recognize what this graph and others are telling us: Women around the world are still suffering disproportionately. And if we don’t invest now, they could get left behind. m-gat.es/3igHRgS

If you know me, you know I love to read. That’s why, for me, one of the best parts of writing The #MomentofLift was connecting with fellow book lovers across the country. I’ll always be grateful for the conversations we shared.
Happy #NationalBookLoversDay. 📚E

Dr. Tachi Yamada was one of my first global health teachers. Even when running large organizations, he never stopped thinking like a doctor responsible to each patient. He saw the infinite worth in every person and worked tirelessly to keep them all healthy. twitter.com/MSuzman/status…

Retweeted by Melinda French Gates Everyone, everywhere, should have equitable access to lifesaving treatments and vaccines. As @AnitaZaidi writes, “Now is the time to build the infrastructure, skills, and regulatory ecosystem that will allow more countries to develop safe, effective, and affordable vaccines." twitter.com/AnitaZaidi/sta…
We take one step closer to a malaria-free world with this exciting new project that seeks to develop an mRNA-based malaria vaccine & helping to expand vaccine manufacturing & capacity on the African continent reut.rs/3iMQoap

@Malala, we celebrate you, your commitment to lifting up women and girls, and your vision for what our world can be.
"Building a robust care infrastructure is not only a moral imperative, it’s a business imperative."
@aijenpoo and @palaknshah are exactly right. We must seize this moment to invest in caregiving—an investment that benefits everyone. m-gat.es/3e1DaEV
The @gatesfoundation is expanding our commitment to family planning over the next 5 years because women around the world are telling us they want and need contraceptives to lead healthier, more empowered lives.
The message I shared at the #GenerationEquality Forum was this: The beauty of our fight for gender equality is that every human being will gain from it. In our world, equal is greater.
This is how we accelerate momentum for women and girls: with commitments like @coimpactcollab's #GenderFund. Their goal of directing $1 billion towards gender equality and women’s leadership comes at a critical moment. A better future is within reach. twitter.com/coimpactcollab…
Thank you, President @EmmanuelMacron, for your leadership on the #GenerationEquality Forum. We're at a critical turning point for gender equality, and I'm proud to work alongside you to accelerate progress toward a fairer and more equal world.
In my work, what motivates me is hearing from women around the world who are fighting for a better future.
I hope you'll listen to Adelle Onyango, Hauwa Liman, and Naadiya Moosajee tell their stories of overcoming obstacles as entrepreneurs. m-gat.es/2UN7yMz

Retweeted by Melinda French Gates I am grateful for Warren’s generosity, his leadership, and his friendship. His wisdom has been a guiding light through our foundation’s second decade, and the things we’ve learned from him will continue to help us chart a way forward.
What made Warren’s extraordinary investment in the foundation so meaningful was not only its amount but what it represented: an unwavering belief that everyone deserves to live a healthy, fulfilling life and an optimism that a world like that is possible. m-gat.es/2UzZuyV
