Clinton Global Initiative Co-Hosted Roundtable
September 24 – 25, 2025 New York City
The Matthew Perry Foundation was proud to be invited to the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting, presented by President Bill Clinton, Secretary Hillary Clinton, and Dr. Chelsea Clinton, marking CGI’s 20th anniversary. This gathering brought together leaders from business, government, and civil society to tackle urgent global challenges. We were honored to co-host a roundtable discussion with CGI titled, “Ending Stigma: What Does It Look Like, and How Do We End It.” This vital conversation confronted stigma as both a wall and a weapon blocking access to care, costing people jobs, families, dignity and ultimately taking lives. On a stage where the world’s most pressing issues were being addressed, climate action, health equity, education, and more, we ensured that addiction and recovery were part of the conversation. By amplifying Matthew’s vision, we sparked partnerships, shaped narratives, and challenged leaders across every sector to dismantle stigma and build a future where recovery is possible for everyone.
