Bill Clinton



World’s toughest challenges, you know better than anyone: the global development community is at an unprecedented crossroads, with growing humanitarian needs, fewer resources, and the landscape changing every day. 

Given the scope of the challenges we face, this year’s CGI meeting will be different — by necessity. We need to redefine how we show up, how we work, and how we find ways to honor our common humanity. This September, our goal will be to connect dots across issues, expose the consequences, and confront the complicated issues in front of us. 

VIEW THE AGENDA
The CGI community is built for moments like this. This year marks two decades of our community convening and responding directly to global crises — from the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti; to the U.S. economic downturn in 2009 with the launch of CGI America; to the Ebola outbreaks in 2014, 2015, and 2016; to the Caribbean hurricanes in 2017; to the COVID-19 pandemic; and more. We’ve launched more than 4,100 Commitments that have improved the lives of over 500 million people worldwide. 

We’re drawing on 20 years of lessons, momentum, and partnerships to meet this moment and build what’s next. 

Our programming and our physical space will be designed for action. Our time together will be focused on new working group convenings — sessions where project plans are drafted, commitments are accelerated, and coalitions begin to take root. Every participant will be urged to ask the hard questions, contribute their expertise, and identify paths forward. 

Now is the time to stand up and roll up our sleeves — and do our part to reverse the trend lines and begin charting a brighter future.

I hope you’ll join us. The world needs you more than ever.

Will: the federal government's role in education poll

Image
Dear Friend, Most parents would agree that our children are the future and they deserve the best education our country has to offer.  I would like to know what you think about the federal government's role in education.

Jeff: What does it mean to be part of the resistance

Image
    Robert, The time for mourning is over. If Donald Trump follows through on half the things he talked about on the campaign trail, we’re in trouble.  And the early signs are that he intends to do just that. Add your name right now and let’s build the movement to fight back! What does it mean to be part of the resistance to Trump? When people are attacked for who they are, or where they come from,  we will fight. When the Administration hands over our clean air, water, and lands to corporate polluters,  we will fight. When human rights, civil rights, and voting rights are under attack,  we will fight. When the interests of Wall Street and corporate conglomerates are placed ahead of working families and the health of our planet,  we will fight. It means taking action. I’m going to be on the front lines of these fights in the U.S. Senate, and I’m going to need you with me.  Join me and let’s stand up for our values together! Jef...

Elizabeth: Wisconsin voters will have their say

Image
Robert -- Majority Leader Mitch McConnell isn't the only Republican suggesting that the Senate should spend the next year blocking President Obama's Supreme Court nominee. Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson has been in lockstep with McConnell from the start. Thankfully, Wisconsin voters will have their say this No‌vember when Senator Johnson and Russ Feingold are on the ballot. If Senator Johnson won't do his job, it's time to replace him. I'm committed to doing everything I can to help Russ win in November. Will you join me? Join me. Make a $5 contribution to Russ Feingold's grassroots campaign right now.

Alice: we mourn for all the victims of the latest terrorist attack in Brussels

Image
Dear Black Independenty,   Today, we mourn for all the victims of the latest terrorist attack in Brussels. As Ted Cruz  said this morning :         “Today radical Islamic terrorists targeted the men and women of Brussels as they went to work on a spring morning. In a series of coordinated attacks they murdered and maimed dozens of innocent commuters at subway stations and travelers at the airport.   “For the terrorists, the identities of the victims were irrelevant. They –we—are all part of an intolerable culture that they have vowed to destroy.   “For years, the west has tried to deny this enemy exists out of a combination of political correctness and fear. We can no longer afford either.   “The days of the United States voluntarily surrendering to the enemy to show how progressive and enlightened we can be are at an end. Our country is at stake.”   Best,   Alice Stewart Com...

Chuck: help us amplify Sheldon's 100th call for action

Image
Robert, How many times have you stood up for a single issue you believed in? Would you tell your colleagues about it 10, 20, or even 50 times? Would you make it the one of the central causes of your life's work? Well --  Senator Sheldon Whitehouse just gave his 100th speech on climate change on the floor of the Senate. In recognition of Sheldon's accomplishment, I'm joining with my colleagues, Senators Barbara Boxer, Elizabeth Warren, Dick Durbin, Al Franken, and Tammy Baldwin, as well as leading environmental groups, to commend Sheldon and recognize his remarkable dedication to our future and our environment -- but also to call for real, meaningful Senate action on climate change on the occasion of his 100th speech. Join me, my Senate colleagues, and a coalition of environmental groups as we stand with Sheldon today and join his call for the Senate to wake up to climate change and take swift action to curb carbon pollution now. I've watched Sheldon...

Ben: my trip to Jordan

Image
Robert,  On my trip to Jordan this weekend, I visited with Syrian refugees and saw first-hand the real human problems being worsened by the Obama-Clinton empty rhetoric policies. While our politicians fail to deal with the threat of Islamic extremism honestly and decisively, innocent people around the world are losing their lives and millions of people are being forced to flee their homes. It's time to stand up to this evil. We need leaders who will stop whining and start winning. That's the focus of our brand new ad. Will you take 30 seconds to watch it and make a donation to help spread the message before our November fundraising deadline? President Obama has attacked me and my fellow Republican candidates because we don't want to bring tens of thousands of Syrian refugees to America. Like he's done with so many other issues, the President is trying to turn this into a political football. It's shameful. In the absence of American leadership and due...

Michael: March for Climate, Jobs, and Justice on April 29

Image
Robert l., The March for Climate, Jobs, and Justice on April 29 is an opportunity for us to show solidarity with each other in the fight for a clean environment and fair economy.  Too often, those seeking to block our progress try to pit jobs against safe workplaces and a clean environment.  We know that’s a false choice.  We know we can have economic prosperity, environmental justice and equity for all people if we take the right actions now to address climate change, reduce income inequality, fight for racial justice, and safeguard the rights of all people. We’re going to the March for Climate, Jobs and Justice to show our support for taking action on climate and creating and sustaining good jobs by doing so.  Join us at the March for Climate, Jobs and Justice.  Union members, environmentalists, people of faith and community leaders will be there to show the solidarity that exists between all of us to have both a strong, fair ...
