Stephen Lewis: A Global Health & Politics Icon

0:00Steven Lewis, the longtime Canadian activist and former politician, has passed away at 88 years old. He served as Canada's ambassador to the United Nations, led Ontario's NDP, and took on key roles like Deputy Director of UNICEF and Special Envoy for HIV-AIDS in Africa. Earlier this week, his son, Avi Lewis, got elected as the federal NDP leader, making this news hit even harder for the family and party. The Steven Lewis Foundation, which he co-founded back in 2003, just announced his death and has raised over $200 million. To support grassroots groups battling AIDS across Africa, his legacy and global health and politics will keep inspiring activists everywhere as we reflect on his trailblazing path.
