SMC - Ep. 15 - Andrea Tracy - Sudan - Proximity 2 Humanity - Mutual Aid Sudan Coalition

How can you help save lives in Sudan? In today’s episode, the first of what will be our long running coverage on Sudan, we speak with Andrea Tracy, the Director of the Mutual Aid Program at Proximity 2 Humanity. Andrea has over 25 years of international aid experience and with her teammates at Proximity 2 Humanity and the Mutual Aid Sudan Coalition, she is leading international support efforts to Sudanese grassroots aid. This is truly life saving work. We hear from Andrea about the devastating impact of USAID cuts both in Sudan and around the world, Sudan’s grassroots Emergency Response Rooms and the local volunteers who operate them, the critical Women’s Response Rooms lead by Sudanese women on the ground, how Proximity 2 Humanity gets 95 cents of every dollar to aid efforts on the ground, and much more. To donate to the life saving work of the Mutual Aid Sudan Coalition, click hereFollow them on Instagram @mutual.aid.sudan Click here to support Proximity 2 Humanity For a New York Times article on the Ebola outbreak Andrea discusses in the interview, click hereFurther reading on Sudan:Sudan’s Humanitarian Crisis Explained - by Mariel Ferragamo and Diana Roy for the Council on Foreign RelationsThe Specter of Genocide Returns to Darfur - by David J Scheffer for the Council on Foreign RelationsNicholas Kristof New York Times articles on Sudan - https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/22/opinion/holiday-gift-guide.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/30/opinion/famine-darfur-civil-war.htmlThe Most Nihilistic Conflict on Earth by Anne Applebaum for The AtlanticDrop us an email at [email protected] or give us a follow on Instagram @saintmartinscloak_podStay strong, stay safe, and stay brave, Andrew and Miloš
