Aid Withheld: One Year without US Global Health Assistance
Panel Presentation with Frontline Workers in East Africa
Reductions in international aid are hindering the achievement of sustainable development goals worldwide. Global aid cuts—most notably from the United States—have had far-reaching consequences–at worst, leading to needless deaths, and severely stalling progress in providing health care services and protecting sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
In collaboration with our sister organization, Population Connection Action Fund, we invite you to a timely discussion with community organizers whose work has been impacted by the U.S. foreign aid “freeze” and the dissolution of USAID (the US Agency for International Development). Speakers will share their firsthand experiences dealing with funding cuts to community-led programs that were working to improve essential healthcare services, combat gender-based violence, and protect reproductive freedom.
This session aims to shed light on the impact of the US decision to stop its investment in global health, share insights from field organizers, and foster dialogue. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with those who are directly impacted by these devastating cuts to foreign aid.

Post-Growth: Life after Capitalism
Page Turners Book Club Discussion
Humanity’s capitalistic pursuits have led to social inequality, financial instability, and climate catastrophes. Author Tim Jackson illuminates what a future beyond capitalism, competition, and egregious self-interest can truly look like— a place where relationships and meaning take precedence over profits and power. Grounded in a deep understanding of ecological economics, Post Growth is both a manifesto for system change and an invitation to rekindle a deeper conversation that the economy is not separate from the natural world.
