Global Humanitarian Summit

Global Humanitarian Summit

April 22, 2017

School of Medicine at Emory University

Organized and run by a consortium of Emory undergraduate and strengthened by involvement from community partners including CDC staff, Emory physicians, and members of various Atlanta communities the summit speaks to everyone. The need for this event stemmed initially from the simple realization that we, as humans, have a shared responsibility to protect and aid our world. Through a series of panels, speakers, movie screenings, and exhibitors, we are bringing together dedicated individuals of all careers and backgrounds to address humanity’s greatest issues and inspire creative problem solving.

Our speakers and their topics for the event are as follows:

Jeannie Alexander- Prison and Racial Justice
Caroline Olok- Education and Peace Building Initiatives
Doug Ellis- Angel Flights, Medical Services
Emile Badibanga- Education, Health, and Prison rights
Phil Talboy- Ebola, Global Health
Ken Clark- Clean Water, Sustainability
Megan Beall and Mary Lou Beall- Anti-Human Trafficking

What to do

Call your U.S. Representative and urge them not to accept the Senate version of the budget reconciliation bill without amendments that:
1. Protect vulnerable populations by restoring or preserving funding for food assistance, healthcare, housing, education, and childcare.
2. Avoid placing new, unfunded administrative burdens on states and nonprofits.
3. Retain programs that are essential to local jobs, services, and economic resilience in communities across your district, including Inflation Reduction Act funding.
Reach out to local officials to speak about the economic harm involved, and ask them to speak out against provisions that harm your nonprofit as an employer and contributor to the local economy.
Mobilize your network to do the same. Every voice counts!
