Funding the UN is #MoreThanMoney; it’s about sha

Funding the UN is #MoreThanMoney; it’s about shaping the conversation on inclusive and equitable education, AI regulation, and technology. Today is a great day to highlight UNESCO because today is also #WorldTourismDay! Which UNESCO Heritage sites have you been to??? UNESCO is important for the U.S. because it promotes global education, preserves cultural heritage, and fosters international cooperation for a better world.

Did you know that withdrawing from UNESCO in the first place is a prime example of how pulling funding and giving away our seat at the table didn’t uphold our best interests? China became the largest financial contributor when the U.S. was absent, accounting for 15% of UNESCO's assessed budget. With this, China wanted to leverage UNESCO to promote its interests, which raised concerns over U.S. national security. Without our seat at the table, the U.S. couldn't push back. Now that the U.S has rejoined UNESCO, fighting for full UN funding is crucial in remaining a leader on the global stage!

TAKE ACTION: SIGN THE PETITION AT THE LINK IN BIO TO DEMAND FULL FUNDING FOR THE UN.

For more about the U.S. rejoining UNESCO follow @betterworldcampaign to learn more about UNESCO's contributions to the U.S. including World Heritage Sites, education, and many more. #UNESCOinUS
