One way to mark International Women’s Day—listen to two women talking about “Women Talking”! I spoke to Frances McDormand about her Oscar-nominated new film, her many iconic roles, and her road ahead. Listen to You & Me Both at the link in my profile or wherever you get your podcasts.

I’ve been in India the last few days celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Self-Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) and the legacy of its founder, Ela Bhatt. Ela passed away late last year, and I feel lucky to have been her friend.
I met Ela on my very first trip to India in 1995. Following Gandhi’s example, she founded SEWA in 1971 as a trade union and a women’s movement. For 50 years, it’s helped some of the poorest, least educated, and most shunned women in India get small loans to enable them to earn their own income.
Through a system of microfinance, SEWA provides employment for thousands of individual women and changes deeply held attitudes about women’s roles.
In addition to microfinance, they do skills training, job creation, and climate adaptation work—I announced the first-ever Global Climate Resilience Fund with SEWA, CGI, and other partners to help the women deal with extreme heat.
SEWA has now grown to more than 2.5 million members.
Seeing Ela’s work and legacy over these last few decades has been transformational for me and an indelible reminder of the importance of women’s rights.

It filled my cup to join First Lady Olena Zelenska of Ukraine, @billiejeanking, @gloriasteinem, and @mikabrzezinski at the @Forbes 30/50 Summit earlier this month. These women!

A #tbt with my friend Ela Bhatt on one of my first visits to the incredible organization she founded and led for nearly five decades: the Self-Employed Women’s Association. I was in India last week celebrating SEWA’s 50th anniversary and how it’s changed millions of women’s lives. You can read all about its impact, and Ela’s, at the link in my profile.
#CGIU2023 kicks off tomorrow, and I’m heading to @VanderbiltU to convene with the next generation of innovators and change-makers.
Join our conversation about how to meet the biggest challenges and opportunities of our moment. RSVP to join us virtually at the link in my profile.

☑️ Three-fourths are women
☑️ Nearly 1/2 are women of color
☑️ More than 2/3 are people of color
☑️ More than 1/4 have public defender experience
☑️ Nearly 1/5 have experience as civil rights lawyers

Thanks again to the 800 students from around the world—plus many special guests—who joined us for @CGIUniversity in Nashville this weekend. I’m forever inspired by the next generation’s ideas, their energy, and their drive to make the world better for everyone.
Women and girls in marginalized communities across the globe are disproportionately impacted by climate change.
Today, the Adrienne Arsht–Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center announced @HillaryClinton as their Global Ambassador for Heat, Health, and Gender. In partnership with the @ClintonGlobal community, we will raise awareness about the impacts of climate-driven extreme heat, focusing on the disproportionate health-related risks to women and girls.
