Good Vibes: Lockdown Hero Captain Tom Moore Honored By David Beckham

Hello and welcome to a new edition of the Upturn, the newsletter born out of the desire to do something that will improve the communities within our reach.

This desire is felt strongly by the 83 U.S. and Europe-based “Millionaires For Humanity”—including Disney scions Abigail and Tim Disney—who this week penned a letter asking their countries’ governments to raise tax on those who, like them, can afford it.

For every millionaire who asks to pay more tax there’s likely another one who’d strongly oppose the idea—but stranger things have happened at such times of unprecedented crisis. More stories about people making positive contributions to society below.

In the Upside, fashion graduates find new way to showcase their collection and one woman finds success reinventing the jigsaw puzzle.

In Up-And-Coming, gene-editing technology could be a game-changer in curing sickle cell disease and solar kits are providing brighter futures for girls.

In Uplifting, a giant robot statue in the making and a trans model makes history.

Finally, in the Wrap-up, the numbers making a difference this week are 23, 2021, and 220,000,000.
