Every year, UNA members from around the country convene in Washington, D.C. to send a powerful message to Congress: Americans stand with the UN.
This year’s summit made history as it was the very first time our delegation represented all 50 states. With 322 Congressional meetings, this summit was the largest convening of Americans in support of the UN on Capitol Hill.
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.
