The Global Engagement Online Series (“GEOS”) is an ongoing collection of live virtual events to keep you inspired, informed, and connected to the UN this year. We will bring you to the center of global problem solving, using technology and online meetings to ensure we are doing our part to mitigate public health risks. You can count on the GEOS series to bring you unique discussions with global issues experts — all while we practice safe social-distancing. We hope to see you online!
Social distancing does not mean we are distancing from our core values and impact on global issues. In fact, this just might be the perfect time to lean in, get informed, stay engaged, and take action to support the UN. We have created a virtual activities hub with our community in mind, curating some of our best webinars, online resources from UN agencies, and further ways to take action. These are unique and challenging times for everyone, but the UNA-USA community will remain strong, productive, and supportive of one another. As global advocates and community change-makers, our role has never been more crucial. Let’s find creative ways to come together.
Our planet faces complex challenges that no one nation can solve alone. That’s why the United Nations is the world’s best bet for a safe, healthy, and prosperous future. Tell Congress: Fully funding the United Nations supports American interests. We can’t afford to lose our seat at the table.
Take Action
“There are connections between us and people in other countries that are struggling, trying to fight for rights. What’s going on around the world has an impact on what’s going on here. We’re all interconnected.”
