On Civil Rights: Equality, ending gender-based violence can transform world

"Achieving real equality for women and eradicating gender-based violence can transform the world in many ways" stressed Michelle Nunn, President and CEO of CARE USA. "The highest and most powerful good that we can do is to invest in local women's grassroots movements who are creating social and societal change." This was the main message during the roundtable discussion on gender-based violence, hosted by Global Washington. Source: Global Washington on 2019-20 Georgia 2-year Senate race Aug 25, 2014

On Free Trade: Trade impacting international cooperation on other issues

Rising trade tensions are threatening to undermine collaboration needed to tackle big problems like poverty on a global scale, Nunn said at the World Trade Day conference in Atlanta. "In many ways we are seeing threats of an inward-looking and nationalistic sensibility, an insularity that threatens some of our capacity as a globe to solve complicated and globally meaningful problems, but also to stand in solidarity with one another to advance our capacity to make progress," she said.

On Immigration: Un-American travel ban hurts refugees & US standing in world

Hours after President Trump signed his executive order on travel and immigration, Nunn said the order would jeopardize the organization's efforts to save and protect refugees from nations like Syria. Nunn argued the order would hurt the standing of the U.S. in the international community. "We could foreseeably compromise relationships vital to our national interests," she said. In an email to CARE supporters and donors, Nunn went farther, calling the order "this harmful and un-American ban." Source: WABE 90.1 NPR on 2019-20 Georgia 2-year Senate race Aug 25, 2014
