Charlize Theron On Saturday, the immigration, LGBTQs and women’s rights and disastrous cuts for foreign aid were commented on Saturday.
“The world feels that it is burning because it is,” the Oscar winner said in the fifth annual Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Program Block party on Universal Lot. “Here in Los Angeles, America and all over the world, we are rapidly growing backwards. The immigration policy is destroying the lives of families, not criminals. Women’s rights are getting less and less every day, quarrous and trans life are erasing rapidly, and gender-based violence is increasing. It is not just policy, it is personal.
He said, “Foreign aid cuts brought HIV and AIDS programs in my country of South Africa to a complete halt. All this is not only harmful, it is dangerous. People will lose their lives.

Theron did not mention the President. Trump, by name but his administration has made foreign aid a main part of its agenda.
But Theron said that he is not without hope. “Whatever we see, what we cannot remember is resistance,” he said. “Hope, we all have the power to stand, organize, protest, vote and take care of each other, and refuse to accept that it is new. It is normal. Resistance, justice and care for each other, this is the soul that is the soul that should work about tonight.
Theron launched CTAOP 18 years ago to support his original youth living in South Africa. To date, CTAOP-supported programs have reached over 4.5 million youth and have provided $ 15 million to organizations in Southern Africa.
Earlier in the evening, on the red carpet, Theron told me, “It is quite devastating what is going to happen … It is less than one percent of this budget, about which everyone is talking about and when you compare that for millions of people who are going to die because of this, it is disastrous. It seems that this incident is a little more important than last year.”
Theron says she regularly advocates the elected officials. “We do it a lot,” he said, “I would say that there are many people who pick up the phone and are ready to listen and are in favor of our understanding.”
The evening also included a performance by a live auction of luxury products and experiences -a performance by Ren Rap.
