Happy 19th Birthday, Bella Noche. I admire your courage, strength, intellect, and grace. It’s been an amazing year full of so much growth and discovery. Look forward to what this next year will bring on your incredible journey.

Support the work of Josh Farinella, a brave whistleblower, who did what was right and leaked documents showing serious concerns about food safety and human rights. Mr. Farinella was the general manager of a shrimp packaging plant in Andhra Pradesh, and quit his job in order to expose the chilling deceptions and violations in the booming export industry: workers housed like animals, mistreated and underpaid, and products – later sold by Walmart, ShopRite and Hannaford – falsely labelled to cover up the use of prohibited antibiotics.Learn more about this story and more from The Outlaw Ocean Project on @ian_urbina’s page.

Thank you for an incredible night at the Oscars ✨ Congratulations, Emma Stone, Holly Waddington, James Price, Shona Heath & Zsuzsa Mihalek of Production Design, and Nadia Stacey, Mark Coulier & Josh Weston of Makeup and Hairstyling for their wins for Poor Things. And… thank you to our Hungarian counterparts and fellow film makers in Budapest. Incredible artists and film makers in their own right.

Tonight at the Oscars, I stand with the women of my @myvoicemychoiceorg, who use this “finger heart” to champion the RIGHT TO CHOOSE. The issue of reproductive rights reminds me of Poor Things. To quote from the film: “It is your body, Bella Baxter. Yours to give freely.” But the Far Right opposes this powerful message. In the US & EU alone, they’ve cut tens of millions of women from essential abortion rights.So it was inspiring to see how women in Europe are already using the “heart finger” to express love for women’s rights at the ballot box. This symbol is meant to be a beautiful reminder that, like those 2 fingers, when we unite in solidarity across divides, we become the beating center of humanity’s heart. And voting is the lifeblood that keeps that heart strong.Perhaps it’s no coincidence that the heart symbol forms a ‘V’—for VOTE. Voting protects those the globally coordinated Far Right victimizes: women & children, democracy & our planet.So, in 2024, let’s spread this symbol and use our votes to protect women & ALL LIFE!
