The world needs the UN. The UN needs YOU.

The United Nations Association of the USA (UNA-USA) is a movement of Americans who believe that our interests and values can best be advanced by standing with the planet’s only truly universal institution: The United Nations. We stand up for the UN so the UN can keep standing up for the world. Will you join us?

United Together for a Week of Action

With every effort to stop the spread of COVID-19, we won’t be coming together to advocate for the UN on Capitol Hill this year for our annual Global Leadership Summit . But we’ll still be making the case for the UN’s work to Congress in more ways than ever.

From June 22 – 26, our message will be heard on Capitol Hill (or wherever our Members of Congress are quarantining.) We’re calling on all UN advocates to participate in the Week of Action, an opportunity to stand united for a better world, a brighter future and a stronger UN.
