In a difficult year, in which the world struggled to break free from the grip of Covid-19, only to be set back by a new variant, the news of Franklin Thomas’ death came like a sock to the gut. I was hired to work for Ford Foundation in 1991 as a program officer in Brazil, when Frank was still President. Negotiate, I did not.

To impact the World Banks anti-poverty policies, GCAP needed to show tangible grassroots support, difficult considering that its millions of members were spread out over 100 countries.

I remember visiting a university in Brazil where a police reform course was being taught with a classroom of students and police officers. He did so by summoning the courage to tell his captain that students’ experience with police in Brazil had been one of repression and that they would run from anyone in uniform.

Betsy Beaumon and I had the pleasure to meet today with Kareem Dale, the special assistant to the president for disability policy. We must create and develop policies that ensure everyone has a chance to get the education they need and live independently as full citizens in their communities. Really exciting.
