State HouseLusaka, Zambia PRESIDENT HICHILEMA:  Thank you very much, (inaudible).  Wonderful afternoon.  And I start the afternoon by warmly welcoming — welcoming the Vice President of the United States of America and your delegation to State House and to our country, Zambia. For you, Vice President, this is like a homecoming.  The nation is ecstatic about it, very delighted.  And we know you have been up and about for so long, to say so, especially when you’re traveling, you may be fatigued, but we’ll treat you like you have 100 percent energy — (laughter) — so we can discuss the…

In Lusaka, Zambia, in response to Vice President Kamala Harris’s call for the private sector to promote and enhance climate resilience, adaptation and migration across Africa, the private sector made over $7 billion in new commitments. Additionally, the U.S. Government is announcing new federal funding and initiatives to expand access to climate information services and enhance climate resilience and adaptation. These new investments and initiatives will generate significant economic benefits while addressing African nations’ pressing needs resulting from the climate crisis, including food security challenges, by helping to lift-up over 116 million farmers and promote climate-smart agriculture. These announcements demonstrate…

Across America, care workers help raise our children, assist seniors as they age with dignity, and support people with disabilities — giving families peace of mind and making it possible for millions of Americans to earn a paycheck while their loved ones are safe and secure.  These unsung heroes strengthen our communities and form the backbone of our Nation’s economy.  This month, we honor their extraordinary contributions and commit to supporting them with better pay, better benefits, and the recognition they have long deserved.      Despite all they give to this country, care workers — including child care workers,…

    Freedom from sexual assault is a basic human right.  Yet tens of millions of Americans –- our family and friends, colleagues, neighbors, and classmates –- carry the trauma of sexual assault with them.  National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month is an important time to speak out, stand with courageous survivors, and finally change the culture that has allowed sexual violence to exist for far too long.     Sexual violence affects all people, regardless of geography, race, age, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or economic background.  One in four women and 1 in 26 men have survived a…

There is a lot of pro-Putin bias in the Western world. We aim to dispel this “macho” propaganda and reveal true colors of his regime: murder, intimidation, industrialized kleptocracy and well-funded russian fascism propaganda machines. We were born in Russia, we have lost friends to this murderer… we see how he “zombifies” most and intimidates and beats down the rest. We also know where his weak spots are and what atrocities his regime is committing on a daily basis. Message from the source channel owner.

     This month, we honor the over 2 million children of our service members and veterans, whose support and sacrifice help keep our military strong and our Nation secure.  These young Americans already understand what it means to serve, shouldering the unique demands of military life with courage and tenacity.      Whenever the First Lady and I meet with military children, we are amazed by their strength and selflessness.  Most of these young patriots uproot their lives every few years — starting at new schools, making new friends, and learning new cultures and customs in different corners of the country…

     More than 400,000 Americans in every corner of our country are alive today thanks to the tremendous generosity and courage of organ donors.  During National Donate Life Month, we honor donors and their families who have turned pain into purpose by sharing the gift of life with loved ones in need or countless others whom they have never met.  We encourage everyone to follow their lead and register as an organ, eye, tissue, or bone marrow donor, bringing hope and healing to so many others.      Last year, American doctors completed our Nation’s one-millionth organ transplant, a…
