UNA-USA continues to pioneer efforts to involve the American public in the discussion of foreign policy priorities as well as to provide information and educational materials for Congress, the Executive Branch, the corporate community, NGOs, the media, and the public at large. Through its national network of over 170 community-based Chapters and Divisions, and through its 145-member Council of Organizations, UNA-USA reaches out to millions of concerned citizens who want their voices heard in Washington and at the United Nations.
