Clinton Global Initiative Restarted to Tackle Urgent Needs
[US News via Rantingly] The Clinton Foundation is planning another Clinton Global Initiative — the high-profile gathering of business, political and philanthropic leaders — this September in New York, according to a letter former President Bill Clinton sent to the foundation’s supporters Friday.
"Send money"
Correction: “Send lotsa money.”
The initiative, which began meeting annually in 2005 and boasted speakers ranging from former presidents Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter to celebrity philanthropists like Bono and Ben Affleck, ended in 2016 during former Sen. Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, when questions were raised about the appearance of potential conflicts of interests if donors then had business before Hillary Clinton’s administration.

Bill Clinton said he wants to bring back the initiative because the kind of "cooperation and coordination" it created is urgently needed. "The COVID-19 pandemic has ripped the cover off of longstanding inequities and vulnerabilities across our global community," Bill Clinton wrote in the letter Friday. "The existential threat of climate change grows every day. Democracy is under assault around the world, most glaringly in Ukraine where Russia has launched an unjustified and unprovoked invasion that has put millions of lives in grave danger."
"Send money"
Good lord. Covid, global inequities, climate change, and democracy under assault all in one paragraph? A truly impressive display of verbal efficiency to persuade the easily triggered... to send money.
