OUR VISION

We envision a world in which humanity is spared the scourge of war, human rights are honoured, the natural environment is protected, and the U.S. is a constructive member of the United Nations for the well-being of all humankind. 

OUR CHAPTER

The UNA Boulder County Chapter offers a variety of programs designed to keep Boulder County residents informed on international issues and the efforts of various UN agencies to promote peace, prosperity and health. Our goal is to increase local participation in UNA activities, local awareness of the role of the UN in our daily lives, and local advocacy for the work of the United Nations  

OUR MISSION

The UNA-USA is dedicated to strengthening the United Nations system, and the role of the U.S. in that system and to promoting multilateral efforts to advance the goals of the United Nations Charter. 

OUR PARTNERSHIP

The UNA-USA is a program of the UN Foundation founded by Ted Turner with the goal of "building bridges to solve global problems." The Foundation supports the work of the UN through its Better World Campaign and its initiatives, such as the Nothing but Nets Campaign and Polio Eradication. The Foundation works on the UN Sustainable Development Goals and promotes universal human rights and biodiversity.

BOULDER PUBLIC LIBRARY EVENTS

• Tuesday 10/27 -- "So You Want to Talk About Race" with Nikki McCord

• Thursday 11/5-- So You Want to Talk About Race" with Ijemoa Oluo

​

The United Nations Association of Boulder County has been moved by the strength of the Black Lives Matter movement and corresponding protests. We understand that systemic racial injustices happen in communities across the world and our region is no different. We recognize our responsibility to take action to help address systemic racial inequity in our county and beyond.

In order to better understand the nature of racial injustice, please join us for a community listening session where we encourage honest discussions about the racial prejudices and barriers in our society. This is an opportunity for our community to grow together and mobilize to fight for equitable policies and actions at home and abroad.

We encourage everyone to attend and share their stories and suggestions. We know that we cannot tell your story and look forward to hearing it from you. We are also interested in hearing your recommendations for actions that our organization can take to advance the cause of racial justice.
