Close to 18 million cases of malaria.
A THIRTY TWO percent increase in TB.
200,000 cases of paralytic polio a year.
And 28,000 cases of Ebola, Marburg and more.
I don't have the capacity to envision the unimaginable suffering that will result from this.

I was honored to receive the 2025 MLK Humanitarian Award from New York University last night. In my remarks, I noted that to receive an award bearing Dr. King's name is both humbling and challenging for, in this critical moment, his legacy demands of us not mere words, but action and courage. 🧵
