Building Public Support for the UN

With the help of UN partners and people all over the world, we have mobilized tens of thousands of people—including building support on Capitol Hill—to speak out on behalf of the United Nations. UN agencies support the well-being of millions of people worldwide and reach almost every country. 

Through our successful online campaigns, such as “Don’t Shut Down the UN,” “Price of Peace,” “Don’t Go It Alone” and “On Day One,” thousands of individuals have voiced their support for the UN and its programs. This is a community dedicated to strengthening the UN and its relationship with governments across the globe.
