It matters now more than ever that we make our voices heard to protect the vital work of the UN. The UNA-USA community must come together and fight for what we know is right: Standing with refugees; demanding equality for women; protecting LGBTI rights; combating climate change; working for peace; and more.
We need you with us on Capitol Hill to make sure Congress gets the message! The 2019 Global Leadership Summit will take place from June 9-11 in Washington, DC. Register before April 15th to take advantage of our Early Bird rates!
