Reach out to our Representatives - What Are They Doing about the Onslaught on Development : Niloufar Pourzand

Dear XUNICEF friends, 

How are you?

I wanted to suggest - and you might have already done so - that we all reach out to the MPs we know or are in our area and for whom we may have voted - asking them what their position is and what they are doing about the unprecedented onslaught on multilateralism / internationalism / the UN / civil society / International Development / Humanitarian Work by the US / other Conservative / Right-Wing Governments / parties and group in a number of countries.

Maybe it is something small we can do as individuals? What do you think? I have written to two MPs I know myself. Of course, we can continue sharing in our Social Media, if we are teachers or Professors, sharing with our students/institutions, financially and otherwise supporting Organizations and communities who have lost all the support they were being provided - like HIV/AIDS patients supported by the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

It would be great to hear your views on this matter/what we can do as professionals in this field?

Wishing you all the best and hopefully we can resist this attack on everything we have ever stood for.

Niloufar
