Send us a textA routine dental visit, a few days of diarrhea, and then the unthinkable: septic shock and a life lost within 24 hours. Our guest, Christian John Lillis, shares how losing his mother Peggy to a community-acquired C. diff infection exposed a silent public health crisis and led him to co-found the Peggy Lillis Foundation (https://cdiff.org/). From that moment, advocacy turned concrete: raising awareness, training volunteers to speak with lawmakers and media, and pushing for policies that reflect the true burden of C. diff and other infectious diseases.We dig into what a modern, patient-centred clinical trial should look like. Christian explains why initial cure is not the only outcome that matters; for C. diff, the recurrence rate can define whether someone can work, travel, or care for family. We unpack why decentralized trials, telehealth diagnostics, and home nursing can transform access, speed up recruitment, and improve diversity—critical for evidence that holds up in real life. We also examine antibiotic stewardship, exploring how pathogen-targeted therapies can reduce collateral damage and help fight antimicrobial resistance while maintaining or improving efficacy and tolerability.Policy and incentives are central. Christian outlines the limits of market-driven R&D for smaller but deadly pathogens like VRE and CRE, and why tools such as GAIN, LPAD, and potential subscription models are needed to fund anti-infectives society desperately requires. We talk global spread, declining vaccination, and the communications gap that leaves many people vulnerable to misinformation. On the personal level, he shares practical steps for self-advocacy: bring someone to urgent visits, prepare questions, be firm and respectful, and share your story to fuel change.If you care about patient advocacy, clinical trial innovation, C. diff awareness, antibiotic resistance, and public health, this conversation offers both a roadmap and a rallying cry. Subscribe, share with a friend who works in healthcare, and leave a review telling us one change you'd make to make trials truly patient centred.Transformation in Trials is a podcast investigating how we can change life sciences to get treatment to patients faster. Getting treatment to patients faster requires well-functioning organizations. How do we do that?

The irrepressible Edvinas "Eddie" Rudzinskas is a fixture at just about every bar show and party, and the Instagram he created, @cocktails_for_you, boasts 565, 000 followers. We sat down during BCBerlin to talk about how he went from working in his native Lithuania to bartending in a small town in Ireland, falling deep down the rabbit hole of mixology, and founding Cocktails for You, initially as a Facebook page sharing all the seminars and events he'd attend, first in Ireland and then - often representing the Bartender's Association of Ireland, BAI - abroad. He's also recently been named Global Advocacy Lead for Thomas Henry mixers, and co-founded his own (delicious) Irish whiskey, Old Baile. We grabbed a spare hour (and some champagne) to talk about how he became a social media influencer, the state of the bar world,  and building brands in the onpremise, as well as a whole bunch more. Enjoy!Eddie's personal IG: https://www.instagram.com/eddie_this_is_my_life/?hl=enCocktails For You IG: https://www.instagram.com/cocktails_for_you/?hl=enOld Baile Whiskey IG: https://www.instagram.com/oldbailewhiskey/?hl=enThomas Henry mixers: https://www.instagram.com/thomashenry_borninbars/?hl=en Get in touch with Duff!Podcast business enquiries: consulting@liquidsolutions.org (PR friends: we're only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things besides their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is.

Abhay engages in a profound conversation with acclaimed and award-winning Indian lawyer, child rights activist, and founder of Just Rights For Children, Bhuwan Ribhu. They discuss the evolution of child protection laws in India, the challenges of child marriage and trafficking, and the importance of building trust and accountability in advocacy efforts. Bhuwan shares insights on the systemic changes needed for effective child protection and the motivation that drives his work. Their chat highlights the significance of community engagement and the role of justice in preventing child exploitation. Over two decades, Ribhu has championed major legal reforms in India to combat child labor, child marriage, trafficking, and child sexual exploitation, filing more than 60 strategic cases before the Supreme Court and High Courts. His efforts have shaped national policy, triggered landmark Supreme Court judgments, and, in 2025, earned him the Medal of Honour from the World Jurist Association—the first Indian lawyer to receive this global recognition for advancing justice and protection for children. At the 2025 UNGA meeting in New York, Bhuwan and the Just Rights For Children team were invited to spotlight global leadership and call urgent, justice driven commitments to build a Child Marriage Free World.(0:00 - 2:43) Introduction(2:43) Part 1 - Evolution of child protection laws, scaling globally(10:04) Part 2 - Building trust, securing the role of justice (23:22) Part 3 - Lessons learned in activism, motivations for the future(30:41) ConclusionLearn more about this important work and how to get involved at:https://www.justrightsforchildren.org/https://www.justrights.international/

In this episode, we learn about the UN and the way the US forced representatives from different countries and organizations to talk to one another.  We learn how global human rights is interconnected and how this coalition of SW's keep doing their work despite having to work around new rules and a constant changing landscape, but one that is mostly pushing back against Trans people and SW's.  The discussion highlights the urgent need for activism within the sex worker community, focusing on human rights and the impact of US policies internationally.LinksBPPPNJ RUAYAS Store Bees Knees Knee Pads Affiliate Link - 10% offDonate to YAS Work00:00 Call to Action for Sex Workers00:28 Introduction to YAS Podcast00:46 Meet the Hosts01:27 Introducing the Guests01:46 Sex Worker Rights Coalition02:00 Guest Introductions04:03 Discussing the UPR and UN Work04:54 Best Practices Policy Project07:06 Impact of US Policies on Global Sex Work22:30 Challenges in HIV/AIDS Advocacy27:21 Creating the UPR Report37:58 Empowering Sex Workers Through Human Rights38:42 The Importance of Writing Workshops39:46 Challenges and Misconceptions in Activism41:32 Political Engagement in Washington, DC45:16 Global Advocacy and the United Nations58:17 The Fight for Decriminalization01:06:10 Supporting the Movement: How You Can Help01:12:35 Closing Remarks and Call to Action

Despite fractured politics in the US (and elsewhere) around foreign aid, Congress recently reauthorised plans to fund PEPFAR – the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief – even though the programme itself has not been formally reauthorised.Since being established in 2003, PEPFAR funding for prevention, care and treatment programmes is estimated to have saved over 26 million lives. It's one of the most successful global health initiatives, and against all odds it remains a symbol of bipartisan cooperation.But this moment raises bigger questions about what comes next. How sustainable is a model that depends so heavily on political will in the Global North? How can countries in the Global South set their own agendas? And how will increasingly polarised US politics shape PEPFAR's future, especially on issues around sexual and reproductive health and rights?Guests dissect these questions and examine how PEPFAR and the wider global health architecture must evolve to meet today's urgent challenges.GuestsSara Pantuliano (host), Chief ExecutiveElizabeth Campbell, Executive Director, ODI Global WashingtonDoris Macharia, President, Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS FoundationFionnuala Murphy, Head of Global Advocacy, Frontline AIDSRelated resourcesPEPFAR Latest Global Results & Projections Factsheet (Dec. 2024) (US Department of State)Frontline AIDS welcomes the news that PEPFAR will be spared from US cuts to aid (Frontline AIDS statement)How do US policy changes target transgender rights and undermine democracy?

Michael Bach's journey from childhood activist to global DEI leader shows how personal struggle fuels powerful advocacy.

How do you cultivate a loyal following through organic growth and word-of-mouth buzz and without leaning on celebrity endorsements or splashy marketing campaigns? It's the Komos way. In this episode, Ria Soler, the director of education and global advocacy for luxury spirit brand Tequila Komos, talks about how the company has focused on organic growth, thoughtful distribution and authenticity to stand out in an increasingly crowded market. Show notes: 0:45: Sports Drink? Tawchy's. More Investment, But Where? Jean Luc Picard. National Day Day. –  Tequila is still booming, but is “better for you”? Torchy's Tacos is all over Austin.

Ria also talks about why at the heart of Komos' growth is a strong focus on distributor relationships, where trust and mutual respect are essential – especially during its transition into Gallo's network.

What are the long-term, intended and unintended consequences of the USAID funding freeze? How the suspension of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, the reinstatement of the Global Gag Rule, and other executive orders from the new Trump Administration related to the US-Mexico border and the End of the Sensitive Zones Policy will impact the rights, safety, and lives of refugee women and girls in the U.S. and worldwide? In this interview with Devon Cone, Senior Advocate for Women and Girls at Refugees International, we explored the factors behind the growing disinterest in the protection of migrants' human rights and we examined how these measures will disproportionately affect women and girls fleeing violent conflict in Afghanistan, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mexico, and countries in the Northern Triangle of Central America.

You're listening to Bardtenders!In this episode of The Mixing Glass, Clint Spotleson joins the Bardtenders to talk about his career in the hospitality industry, the evolution of the Phoenix, Arizona cocktail scene, his time spent at Herbs & Rye in Las Vegas, and the history of Sagamore Rye whiskey! ------------Clint Spotleson grew up in Phoenix, AZ and has spent 20+ years in the bar industry, helping build the Phoenix cocktail scene. Early in his career, Clint got involved with Camp Runamok, where he built a love for whiskey, which eventually led to an opportunity to work with WhistlePig Rye in 2016.  Clint left Whistlepig in 2017 for a five-year stint in Vegas at Herbs & Rye, before returning home to Phoenix in late 2021. After some time with Kimpton Hotels, Clint made the decision to officially make the move out from behind the bar, where he ultimately landed his dream role as the Global Advocacy & Engagement Manager with Sagamore Rye.Sagamore Rye has been around since 2013, where they initially bought their rye from MGP while starting up. In 2017 they opened our distillery in Baltimore, Maryland and have been producing our own rye ever since. We use a double mashbill recipe, a 95/5 (rye/ malted barley) high rye and a 52/43/5 (rye/ corn/ malted barley) low rye to create a rye that lines up with what you found historically in Maryland. We work hand in hand with local farmers to be a 100% Grain-to-Glass Maryland Rye Whiskey.------------Don't miss out on any of the action!  Head to www.bardtender.com to stay up to date with all of the Bardtender content, find resources for mental and physical wellbeing, get access to education materials, and check out what all of our bards are up to!

The global gag rule, which prevents non-governmental organizations who receive U.S. global health funding from providing, counseling on, referring for, or advocating for abortion in their own country and using their own, private resources, has been reinstated by President Trump. Lori Adelman, Executive Director of Planned Parenthood Global, and Caitlin Horrigan, Senior Director of Global Advocacy at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, sits down to talk with us about what the expanded global gag rule is, what it means for health practitioners and patients abroad, and how it can be repealed.When the global gag rule is in place, there is a deep disrupting in health service delivery, bolstering an anti-human rights agenda globally, undermining trust in medical providers, and weakening civil society allies. Communities have less access to centralized, essential care, which can force people to turn to unsafe methods of abortion. Thankfully, there are policy solutions. The Global Health, Empowerment, and Rights Act (Global HER Act), which was reintroduced this week, would take away presidential power to reinstate the global gag rule. Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Last week, the House Energy and Commerce Committee had a hearing all about Section 230, in which they didn't even attempt to find a witness pointing out its benefits. Among the many organizations that could have provided that vital perspective is the Wikimedia Foundation (as seen in three excellent posts on Medium), and this week we're joined by Rebecca MacKinnon, Wikimedia's VP of Global Advocacy and long-time open internet defender, to talk about why the hearing was bad and Section 230 is very, very important.

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, governments and tech companies have taken swift action to limit the flow of propaganda out of Russia, and Russia has in turn taken draconian measures to limit the flow of information into Russia, including banning some Western social media platforms, crushing what remained of independent journalism in the country and cracking down on free expression generally. How do these events fit in the broader scheme of things? The trajectory for global internet freedom and digital rights, just like the trajectory for democracy generally, has been going in the wrong direction for years. What do governments, organizations and the community of individuals concerned with these issues need to do to try to change that trajectory, and to support those working turn the tide? To answer these questions and more, I invited three experts to join me for this week's podcast Rebecca MacKinnon, Vice President for Global Advocacy at the Wikimedia Foundation Allie Funk, Senior Research Analyst for Technology and Democracy at Freedom House Justin Sherman, a Fellow at the Cyber Statecraft Initiative at The Atlantic Council

Worship with us on the First Sunday in Lent. Dr Sue Jones, Dean of Liverpool Cathedral, leads this service on 'Justice in Creation', and the sermon is from Dr Ruth Valerio, Global Advocacy and Influencing Director at Tearfund.

We discuss the seeming contradiction of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's directive to consider medical services to trans kids as abuse, and the Washington State Supreme Court's ruling that sets heightened expectations around relatives in the child welfare system. Ian Forber-Pratt, the director of Global Advocacy & Growth for Children's Emergency Relief International, joins to discuss his long, international path through child welfare. Forber-Pratt was adopted from his home country of India, grew up in Missouri and has since worked on child welfare reform in both nations. We talked about his childhood, his effort to create a foster care system in India (which previously saw abuse/neglect handled informally in the community or with big orphanages and institutions), and kinship care in America.

Connect with Ian at https://www.linkedin.com/in/ian-forber-pratt-753b0311/Here's what  The Institute For Child Welfare Innovation is all about:"Here at the Institute we promote logical, effective and healing child welfare services that produce great results. We challenge the mindset of old-school thinkers, and we bring passion, patience and experience to the table. But we're always ready to learn more!For us, we demand that children, families and communities are treated fairly and equitably. We demand that systemic racism and inequality is eliminated as a factor when making decisions about family involvement for children in need of care and protection. There is a lifetime of work to be done.So… here at the Institute we believe that change is necessary. Doing the same old thing leads to the same old results. We all know those results: Parents dismissed, kids separated from family, minority families treated differently, and agencies tasked with raising kids. None of this works. Here's what we know: Family is paramount. When we look at family through a different lens, we see capability and opportunity. Instead of seeing a parent who left their child home alone, we see a parent whose child care fell through and they were forced to choose: miss work and thus food for the family or take the risk. We envision moving from a savior-based and removal child welfare system to one of prevention, healing and strength."Find out more about The Institute For Child Welfare Innovation visithttps://forchildwelfare.org/https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-institute-for-child-welfare-innovation/https://www.facebook.com/forchildwelfarehttps://twitter.com/forchildwelfareFor more about Children's Emergency Relief International https://cerikids.org/#adoption  #adoptionawareness #adoptionevent #adoptionislove #adoptionjourney#adoptionlove #adoptionresponsable #adoptions #adoptionstories #adoptionstory#adoptionsupport #adoptiontails #search #birthmother #biomom #YouCanAdopt
