Come back to school with us at Columbia! We learned about Lenacapavir, the new HIV prevention drug from Gilead Sciences that’s just TWO shots a year, and offers nearly 100% protection—an absolute game changer in the fight. #BackToSchool

We sent (RED)'s Chief Growth Officer Greg Sheps to #dreamforce in San Francisco to learn how Salesforce is creating a future in which AI supports people. We’re grateful to Salesforce—a (RED) partner since 2016—for creating agentic enterprises that take the administrative burden out of everyday tasks so that we can be creative and do the work that we are most passionate about.

Malaria kills a child nearly every minute, often in the very same communities hardest hit by HIV. From dual-insecticide nets to promising innovations like gene drive, new tools are giving us a pathway to beat malaria. But history shows progress is fragile. Just as trucking routes accelerated the spread of HIV, malaria continues to thrive where health systems are weakest. That’s why investing in global health matters. It saves lives today and strengthens global health systems to protect against tomorrow’s threats. As global health funding faces its greatest disruption in decades, we can’t afford to look away. Supporting organizations like The Global Fund means investing in stronger, healthier, more equitable communities everywhere. https://lnkd.in/erjNipae
