This year, UNA-USA is celebrating the UN’s 76th anniversary with a special virtual program, bringing together UN officials, young change-makers, and the most essential piece to our movement—you, our members.
For more than seven decades, UNA-USA members have advocated on behalf of the UN and its agencies. Over the last year and a half, we’ve been reminded of just how interconnected the world is and that a threat anywhere—from the COVID-19 pandemic to intensifying impacts of climate change—is a threat everywhere.
The U.S. should not—and cannot—tackle global challenges alone. Our members know that creating a blueprint for a better future can only be achieved through working in tandem with the UN.
Hear directly from Amb. Thomas-Greenfield about your impact as a UNA-USA member, and how your advocacy helps to strengthen support for the UN’s work. Additionally, amid worsening humanitarian crises, Michele Sumilas discussed the essential partnership between USAID and the UN, and how they work together to deliver aid and save lives.
Watch the Program
