Mandela Day

Ahead of Mandela Day, I spoke with the talented young people who just completed our @ObamaFoundation Leaders Africa program. They’ve been working on some of the most pressing issues across the continent, and are working together to find solutions. I couldn’t be prouder of them. pic.twitter.com/D72wZs8V1M

I am so proud of these young leaders who are putting in the work to build on their leadership skills, connect with one another, and make a bigger impact across Africa. The work they're doing couldn’t be more important. Barack and I will be cheering these #ObamaLeaders on! https://t.co/goe7AxWhaO

Climate Change: Stepping Up

When it comes to climate change, we can’t afford to go backward—or even stay where we are. If we are going to act on the scale that’s required to combat this climate crisis, we all need to step up and meet this moment together. https://t.co/jyk0ZBcv0S

“It can be tough to change the status quo and at times it can be really lonely. Knowing you can call on a whole community of people, it means a lot.” —@NimaTisdall, one of the passionate #ObamaLeaders who joined President @BarackObama for a #ClimateCrisis discussion in Glasgow. pic.twitter.com/Ulykx69q2S
