Hi everyone - we wanted to give you some updates on recent events, Foundation work, and announcements in the news this week.

We're #NotThere when it comes to the full participation for girls and women
In an interview with MTV News<http://www.mtv.com/news/2263531/no-ceilings-chelsea-clinton-interview/>, Clinton Foundation Vice Chair Chelsea Clinton discussed gender-based violence, sexual assault, and how women are often missing in leadership roles. Her interview promotes No Ceilings' digital awareness campaign to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action. In partnership with MTV's Look Different campaign, the digital awareness campaign, #NotThere, encourages youth to learn the facts and inspire action for the next generation through a series of thought-provoking graphics. Follow along to see the campaign unfold on Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/ClintonFoundation>, Twitter<https://twitter.com/clintonfdn>, and Instagram<https://instagram.com/clintonfoundation/>, as well as Look Different's Tumblr<http://lookdifferentmtv.tumblr.com/> and Twitter<https://twitter.com/LookDifferent>. Additionally, read about the inspiring stories that give us hope for the future of gender equality in our on-going blog series<https://www.clintonfoundation.org/blog>.

"And while the newly energized attention on this issue is definitely progress, it's important to remember that progress aside, when it comes to gender equality, we're still #NotThere yet. That's the backbone of a new social media awareness effort that The Clinton Foundation's No Ceilings team is launching with MTV's Look Different campaign to illuminate gender bias and the gaps that keep women and girls from full participation around the world."

Talking is Teaching
On Monday, The Atlantic<http://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2015/09/georgias-plan-to-close-the-30-million-word-gap-for-kids/403903/> wrote about the importance of closing the word gap not only to resolve education consequences, but also to improve health outcomes saying, "Children with more words do better in school. Adults who were good students and earned a college degree have longer life expectancies." The article sites Too Small to Fail's "Talking is Teaching" campaign as one of the organizations focusing on this issue.

"There are certainly people watching, from state health officers in California and Indiana to academics at the University of Kansas. The White House has issued a "call to action" to reduce the word gap, spotlighting the Georgia program specifically. And the Clinton Foundation has launched "Talking is Teaching" through its early childhood Too Small to Fail campaign."

#Commit2Ten and family fitness
Earlier this week, Woman's Day published a study<http://www.womansday.com/health-fitness/a51769/how-this-family-changed-their-routine-and-got-active-together/> conducted with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation that shows how families are not getting enough physical activity on a daily basis. The results of the study emphasize the importance of the Alliance's #Commit2Ten campaign, which is encouraging people to commit to add ten minutes of physical activity to your day. The survey and its results can be found online<http://www.womansday.com/health-fitness/a51769/how-this-family-changed-their-routine-and-got-active-together/> and in the October issue of Woman's Day, which is on newsstands now.

"An exclusive survey by Woman's Day and the Alliance for a Healthier Generation shows that families are generally inactive-44% of mothers say that their children don't get the recommended 7 hours of activity per week. Learn how one mom transformed her crew's health and turned their lives around-and how you can, too."
