More than half the world’s people are voting this year, and tomorrow Americans have their turn. We are so grateful to the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation 's U.S. Democracy Program grantees, and to our election administrators and poll workers for their tireless efforts to protect the right to vote for every eligible American—and we’re grateful to all the voters exercising that right in this year’s elections. The Hewlett Foundation is committed to the rule of law and the norms and institutions of democracy, as our President Amber Miller noted in emails to our grantees and staff last week. And as a nonpartisan philanthropic organization, regardless of election outcomes, we remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting our grantees and our collective work to ensure that people, communities, and the planet flourish.

🎉 Congrats to the 205 newsrooms across the U.S. that have been granted a share of $20 million from Press Forward , a nationwide initiative to strengthen communities through local news. From newsrooms focused on people of color and linguistically diverse communities to others covering vast rural areas where they are the only news source for miles — these independent, nonpartisan newsrooms report on people and regions that have long gone uncovered.

The arts are a vital element of a well-rounded education. They provide students with the critical thinking skills and creativity young people need for learning, motivation, and self-expression. Every student deserves this transformative power in their education — a value shared by California voters who approved a historic investment in arts education through the Arts and Music in Schools (AMS) Act. A new study from SRI provides the first clear estimate of the teachers needed to meet current demands and provides recommendations for school administrators, higher education institutions, arts organizations, and funders on closing the gap. Together, we can ensure California has the visual and performing arts teachers needed to give every student access to a high-quality arts education.

Momentum is building for Tribal energy sovereignty with the Alliance for Tribal Clean Energy ’s launch of the Indigenous Power & Light Fund for Energy Sovereignty. With an initial goal of $100 million, this revolving fund will help Native American tribes and Alaska Native communities expedite energy initiatives and tackle the upfront costs of clean energy projects that federal funding often misses. With over a third of the funding already pledged, the fund is on track to reach its goal by the end of 2025, potentially unlocking billions in federal resources for Tribal energy projects. Carrie Doyle , our Environment Program Officer, affirms, “The Fund will support Tribes as they work to take control of their energy futures and create impactful opportunities for economic development, energy sovereignty, and to be leaders in the transition to a clean energy economy.” We’re honored to support the fund as a founding collaborator and support the fund alongside the MacArthur Foundation , The Lemelson Foundation , and other philanthropies. By centering Indigenous voices, this fund ensures that the solutions to our most significant environmental challenges will come from those who have long been the most impacted. The Alliance for Tribal Clean Energy is dedicated to supporting Native American tribes in their self-determined transition to clean energy.

We’re more motivated than ever to forge a future for women’s economic empowerment — thanks to the grantee partners who joined us at our #WEEConvening24 . The last three days were truly inspiring, bringing together some of the most dedicated, thoughtful, and creative minds who have established the Women’s Economic Empowerment field. We explored so many topics — from shifting power and decolonial approaches, to civic and policymakers engagement — all with the goal of promoting gender-responsive economic policies. We leave this space with gratitude and excitement for the years ahead as we move gender from the outskirts to the center of macroeconomic policy.

When women prosper, so do their families, communities, and societies. That’s why, at the #WEEConvening24 , we’ve been dreaming big with our grantee partners about what women’s economic empowerment looks like over the next 10 years. As part of our visioning session on day one, we asked ourselves what needs to happen to make our dream a reality and what indicators of true progress look like. This week, we're looking forward to continuing to learn more about each other's efforts in the women’s economic empowerment field and deepening connections among researchers, advocates, policy experts, international institutions, and women’s rights organizations advancing macroeconomic approaches that support women’s opportunities and well-being.

The climate crisis demands that we move from commitment to action. We’ve refreshed our Global Climate strategy to meet this crucial moment. 🌍 Our goal: keep global temperature rise well below 2°C while ensuring a sustainable and equitable transition to a low-carbon economy. Our updated approach focuses on: 1️⃣ Advancing durable and equitable mitigation in high-emission geographies 2️⃣ Bolstering cross-cutting, multinational efforts on electrification, workforce development, critical minerals, climate finance, and communications 3️⃣ Strengthening the broader ecosystem of climate philanthropy Key to our strategy is collaboration with governments, industries, and communities to accelerate emissions reductions. Equally important is an outcome in which people and communities around the world benefit and have the support and resources to contribute to a flourishing planet.

The scenes from President Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania today are horrifying. We at the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation extend our sympathies to the families of the victims, our wishes for a speedy recovery for former President Trump and all those injured, and our gratitude to law enforcement for their swift efforts to keep people safe. Violence has no place in our American political system. We must all do everything we can in this terrible moment to ensure that it does not further divide us, and recommit ourselves to defending, strengthening and improving our democracy. -Ali Noorani, US Democracy Program Director William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
