2017 UNA-USA Advocacy Goals

Join us in creating a strong voice at the United Nations. We organize meetings with and letter writing campaigns to elected officials stressing the importance of the United Nations and its goals. To learn more and get involved in our advocacy efforts email Margaret "Peg" Shannon at peg@unasny.org.

Funding
Payment of our nation's UN regular budget and peacekeeping dues on time, in full, and without conditions; continued fair share of voluntary contributions to UN organizations.

Human Rights
Increase awareness about the positive work being performed by the UN Human Rights Council and specialized agencies.

Sustainable Development Goals
On September 25th 2015, countries adopted a set of goals to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda. Each goal has specific targets to be achieved over the next 15 years. Our goal is to encourage support of the Global Goals.
