Submit your Chapter's EventsOn October 24, 1945, the United Nations was created. Every year for the month of October, UNA-USA and its 200+ chapters around the country activate in their communities by hosting events centered around a certain global issue.
This year, we’re focusing on the 75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), along with the theme “Equality, Freedom and Justice for All”.
As we approach the UDHR’s 75th anniversary, this webpage will continue to be updated with more details on the theme and branding assets for chapters to utilize in their planning.
The UN is the only global institution with human rights at its core. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights document is a milestone in UN history where freedom, equality and justice for all inspired, and paved the way for, the adoption of more than seventy human rights treaties, applied today on a permanent basis at global and regional levels.
The UDHR’s 75th Anniversary, UNA-USA’s theme for UN Day 2023, aims to celebrate the first universally protected fundamental human rights document. With its 30 articles, the UDHR serves as a constant reminder that human rights are universal, indivisible, and essential for a just and harmonious global community. It continues to inspire advocacy, promote accountability, and encourage the pursuit of a world where the rights and dignity of all individuals are upheld and protected.
With this theme, chapters can support the work of the UN in addressing the importance of the UDHR and celebrating its 75th anniversary.

U.S. foreign aid through the United Nations and other programs saves lives, supports essential services, and strengthens global alliances. Tell Congress to resume funding—millions will suffer without it, and critical programs will be put at risk.
