Join millions around the world celebrating the International Day of Peace to raise awareness about our commitment to fulfill the universal yearning for peace.
Bring friends and family to share your interest and concerns about global peace and security. Leverage your passion by making a pledge for peace and justice in the world that your family and friends can support:
Help feed innocent children and other civilian victims of war in places like Darfur and Somalia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Congo -- where survivors or refugees are fighting for their lives. Funds will be sent through the Friends of the UN's World Food Program - the world's largest humanitarian organization that annually saves hundreds of thousands of lives.
Help educate the American people and especially youth to ensure that the next generation of leaders is skilled at conflict resolution, through the world-class programs of the United Nations Association of the East Bay
Help the United Nations Help the World!
Every day the UN works to reduce poverty, combat disease, promote respect for human rights,
and protect the environment. UNA-USA is dedicated to building support for the ideals and vital
work of the United Nations among the American people.
The UN established the International Day of Peace in 1981 at the opening of the General Assembly for:
"...commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and peoples. This day will serve as a reminder to all peoples that our organization, with all its limitations, is a living instrument in the service of peace and should serve all of us here within the organization as a constantly pealing bell reminding us that our permanent commitment, above all interests or differences of any kind, is to peace."
Runners and walkers at the annual UNA-East Bay Run for Peace will raise funds for educational and advocacy programs and to help the UN's World Food Program to feed millions of people left helpless and hungry by war and natural disasters. More than ever global citizens with international understanding are critical to achieving international cooperation and peace. Through its network of 135 chapters UNA-USA reaches out to millions of concerned citizens who want their voices heard in Washington and at the UN.
"The combination of communicable diseases…and malnutrition is the most prevalent public health problem in the world today; together they are responsible for millions of preventable deaths worldwide each year. Infants and children are particularly affected. An estimated 13 million deaths occur in this group annually in developing countries"
