PARTERSHIPS FOR CHANGE
Jacqueline Miller & Christine Arena
Partnerships For Change is a United Nations NGO founded by Jacqueline Miller.
Partnerships For Change has dedicated over three decades to accelerating social and
economic transformation through direct action and the power of media partnerships.
With a deep-rooted commitment to rapid response crisis intervention, Partnerships For Change operates across diverse regions including Afghanistan, Pakistan, India,
Myanmar, Kenya, Liberia, Cambodia, and the United States.
Partnerships For Change embraces the spirit of interfaith dialogue and draws
inspiration from the wisdom of spiritual luminaries like Fr. Joshtrom Kureethadam, who
inspires millions to reimagine our world through the lens of compassion and
stewardship as outlined in the teachings of Laudato Si’ and Laudate Deum of Pope
Francis.
At the forefront of Partnerships For Change’s mission is Christine Arena and her
innovative communication platform, Generous Films, which amplifies the voices of
those in need and sheds light on critical issues of disinformation and racial injustice.
Christine addresses climate misinformation and greenwashing. Her impactful
testimonies before the Senate and Congressional committees of the United States have
highlighted the fossil fuel industry’s disinformation tactics and the need for urgent
reform in the PR and advertising sectors. She serves on the board of The Institute for
Advertising Ethics, where she developed the first anti-greenwash curriculum. Christine
has produced several films countering climate misinformation.
In a world rife with disinformation and despair, Partnerships For Change is a testament
to what can be achieved when we harness the transformative power of communication
and circles of trust.
