With over 20,000 members (60% under the age of 25) and more than 200 chapters across the country, UNA-USA members are committed to global engagement. The Louisville Chapter of UNA-USA, one of 135 chapters and divisions in the United States, works with citizens and organizations throughout the Louisville metropolitan area to promote an understanding of and support for the United Nations and its main goals of seeking and keeping peace, collective security, international development, human rights, and the international rule of law. UNA-Louisville... works towards building local citizen support for a healthy and constructive U.S. Our chapter works to educate and advocate the importance of the UN in our lives through outreach at local schools, churches and community centers, the local media, local civic and cultural organizations, and advocacy with local, state, and federal elected officials. We achieve these efforts by providing materials, speakers and presentations by foreign policy experts, essay contests, exhibits and programs on UN issues, as well as local programs on key global issues, such as climate change, environmental protection, the Mideast peace crisis, human trafficking, torture, international health, peacekeeping, and human rights.
