united nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
On September 25th 2015, 193 world leaders will commit to 17 Global Goals to achieve 3 extraordinary things in the next 15 years. End extreme poverty. Fight inequality & injustice. Fix climate change. The Global Goals for sustainable development could get these things done. In all countries. For all people. If the goals are going to work, everyone needs to know about them. You can’t fight for your rights if you don’t know what they are. You can’t convince world leaders to do what needs to be done if you don’t know what you’re convincing them to do. If the goals are famous, they won’t be forgotten.
We can be the first generation to end extreme poverty, the most determined generation in history to end injustice and inequality, and the last generation to be threatened by climate change.

Advocacy: Learn. Connect. Act
Each year the United Nations provides food to 90 million people in 73 countries; vaccinates 58% of the world's children, saving 2.5 million lives a year, promotes maternal health saving the lives of 30 million women a year, and so much more. While the UN is not a perfect institution, it serves a near-perfect purpose: to promote global cooperation to address some of the world's most pressing challenges that no single country can resolve alone.
People across the United States need to know more about the real impact of the United Nations. 120 Chapters across the United States work with their local communities and elected officials to inform, inspire, and mobilize Americans to support the principles and vital work of the UN.

Then decide on a communication method for speaking with elected officials. A simple letter, phone call, fax, email, or postcard from a constituent represents a voice that would otherwise have gone unheard. Each message also represents a concerned voter, so it will not be ignored. The most effective means of communicating your interests and concerns to your congressional representatives is a face-to-face meeting.
