Continually so inspired by the vital work @UnchainedAtLast is doing to #endchildmarriage. Hope you will check out their work & support them if you can.
This year we helped #endchildmarriage in #PA, #MN and #USVI. To date we've helped a total of 4 states and 2 U.S. territories end this #humanrights abuse. We achieved all this in a year as nightmarish as 2020; imagine what we can do together in 2021: buff.ly/2J2c1Wq

Let's give our amazing summer advocacy interns -- who are kicking butt in our first-ever remote internship -- some love! Meet Abby and learn why she was drawn to the #UnchainedTeam and our work to #endchildmarriage:
My daughter was determined to be a panda bear when she grew up (which has not yet happened). Does that count? #LittleGirlsBigDreams #EndChildMarriage #DayoftheGirl
Little girls have big dreams. Don't let #childmarriage kill those dreams. This International #DayoftheGirl, share this image with "When I was little, I wanted to be _________" along w/ the hashtags #LittleGirlsBigDreams and #EndChildMarriage.

It still doesn't feel real that I'm featured in @HillaryClinton & @ChelseaClinton's book about women who inspire them. What an absolute honor. #gutsywomen
Thrilled to finally announce that our ED @FraidyReiss is among the 100 #gutsywomen featured!
“The gutsy women in this book share a fierce optimism that their work and lives will make a difference in the world. And, they’re right." @ChelseaClinton @HillaryClinton

Happy bday @mindykaling! We are the only org dedicated to ending #forcedmarriage & #childmarriage in the U.S. We help women, girls and others to escape - and we push for social, policy, legal change (more at unchainedatlast.org.) Please help us end these #humanrightsabuses?
Not trying to make you jealous, but today my work at @UnchainedAtLast to #endforcedmarriage takes me to @Yankees Stadium. Working hard to plan the 9/21 fundraiser. Did you get your tix yet? bit.ly/2QaLDZz

When other nations talk about ending #childmarriage, they look to the U.S. as an example. When they see we have yet to #endchildmarriage, they wonder why they should.
