🚨1M more Somalis face hunger & 460K children risk severe malnutrition due to drought & rising costs. #Alight provides clean water, food & healthcare—but funding is at risk. Humanitarian aid saves lives. Your support matters. Donate & stand with Somalia today. bit.ly/SupportAlight

On March 17, 1980, the Refugee Act set the gold standard for humanitarian protection, offering hope and safety to millions forced to flee. Since then, refugees have rebuilt lives and strengthened communities. As displacement hits record highs, let's keep standing with them. đź’™

In these challenging times, we’re incredibly grateful for every donor, supporter, and advocate who stands with displaced communities.💙 Each act of generosity makes a meaningful difference. From cupcakes for staff to personal fundraising campaigns, we’ve been floored by kindness. Thank you! #Alight

🚨 When humanitarian programs disappear, lives are at risk. On the Thai-Myanmar border, malaria services are collapsing. No more rapid tests, treatments, or mosquito nets. Urgent care referrals are shutting down. 📢 Your support saves lives, donate today: bit.ly/AlightEmergency 💙 #Alight

✨ Joy may feel harder to find these days, but we believe in creating the things that bring us there. Today at #SXSW, #Alight ’s Director of Marketing & Communications joined Joel Bergner, Ron Rael & Aaron Huey to explore how art sparks change & uplifts humanity. Grateful to SXSW for the platform 🙏🏻

We're thrilled to share that our CEO, Jocelyn Wyatt, has been nominated for the #curious100 by the Eames Institute! This honor celebrates leaders using curiosity to drive real change. Join us in celebrating Jocelyn! www.eamesinstitute.org/curious-100/... #Alight

💔 This is a tough moment. Many of our lifesaving programs are paused or scaled back. We’ve had to close critical services—like protection for women and children & health programs for malaria in Myanmar. But we’re not standing still. With your support, we can keep pushing forward. 💙 #Alight

🌍 Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate the resilience and strength of women everywhere. 60 million displaced women often lead the way—reinvesting 90% of their income into their communities. Every action matters. Support women today by donating 💗 bit.ly/AlightEmergency #Alight

What happens when humanitarian programs disappear? In South Sudan, funding cuts forced a women's safe space to close. Nyamal, a mother of two who fled abuse, was turned away and had to return home. đź’” When programs end, lives are at risk. Your support is life-saving: bit.ly/AlightEmergency #Alight

🇺🇦 Our work in Ukraine is far from over. Three years after the invasion, 6.8 million Ukrainians still need humanitarian aid. Regardless of changes in policies and support, everyday people can help everyday Ukrainians. 🙏 Make a donation to Alight’s Emergency Fund today: bit.ly/AlightEmergency

Less than 1% of the federal budget goes to foreign aid, yet it saves lives worldwide. With 10K contracts cut last week, that impact is at risk. If Alight's malaria program in Myanmar stops, drug-resistant cases could surge, threatening global health. Now more than ever, we must protect foreign aid.

Thrilled to join BlueSky! Since 1978, Alight, formerly the American Refugee Committee, has worked with displaced communities to co-create meaningful solutions that go beyond basic needs—building lives filled with joy, dignity, and purpose. 💙 Learn more: linktr.ee/wearealight
