Express Your Global Citizenship.
Join the United Nations Association of New York.
Drafted in the tone and spirit of the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights, the United Nations Charter and Universal Declaration of Human Rights reflect the American theme that all the world's people are entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. What better way to express one's patriotism than to support our nation's participation in the organization we helped establish in our own image?
Through the work of the United Nations Association of New York, as well as nearly 200 community-based chapters around the country and their 20,000 members, UNA-USA creates a powerful national constituency for a United Nations that advances American interests in a global system. Among the benefits of joining the United Nations Association is the opportunity to connect with the critical issues confronted by the UN — from global health and human rights, to the spread of democracy, equitable sustainable development, and international justice.
