The Global Press 2022 Annual Report ([link removed]) takes a deep and robust look at their work. “More and more, it’s becoming clear that journalism — high-quality journalism — can be an ingredient for social change. Amidst all of these changes, the Global Press model has shifted from niche to necessary.”

Check out this coverage ([link removed]) from The New Humanitarian on peace in Colombia and the places that still experience violence. “We continue to be ignored by the government, who view our suffering as a sort of never-ending story happening in the unimportant margins of society.”

WHAT'S HAPPENING AT HU

------------------------------------------------------------

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Humanity United (HU) announced ([link removed]) a partnership aimed at strengthening peaceful collective action on a worldwide scale through the Powered by the People initiative. The partnership aims to strengthen regional and global ecosystems and networks that enable peaceful collective action in tackling the world’s most intractable problems.

HU Director for Peacebuilding, Leslie Wingender, recently moderated a panel with members of the Colombian Truth Commission on safeguarding their final report ([link removed]) , an effort that came after a year of discussions to ensure the public files of the Truth Commission's work remain accessible for the next 10 years. The Legacy Project ([link removed]) at the University of Notre Dame seeks to preserve and engage the digital archive of the Colombian Truth Commission through sharing a myriad of narratives and memories compiled about the country’s 52-year armed conflict to advance transitional justice, human rights, and the centrality of victims. The project celebrates the Truth Commission’s inspiring research efforts, making its archives available for study and creative practice in order to shape peacebuilding efforts around the world.
