This column marked Mental Health Awareness Month 2025 by sharing stories, resources, and reflections that encouraged understanding, reduced stigma, and promoted emotional well-being. It highlighted efforts made by communities and individuals to prioritize mental health and create spaces of care, support, and hope.

This is meant to bring together local and international movements to discuss, connect and build work through sustainable development and justice. This High Level Political Forum moment, we will bring local and international activists and movements together, to build action for the next months and year and also share knowledge and thoughts. We will also plan for a larger movement forum for 2026 HLPF to glue our movements into the deeper impact and strategy and build local and international knowledge and action in 2026. 

​Members of March for Our Planet attended a retreat in Uganda, where they gathered to strengthen community ties, share strategies for climate action, and deepen their commitment to equity and sustainability. The retreat offered space for dialogue, cultural exchange, and planning collective efforts to build a greener, more just future.

We explored strategies and partnerships to mobilize resources for sustainable development. The initiative highlighted fair financing, equitable growth, and practical solutions to ensure no one was left behind, supporting informed action toward a more just and inclusive economy.
