MundiMuster! Don't Shut Down the UN!

[via The United Nations Foundation]
A serious political crisis is unfolding at the United Nations. Differences of opinion about the direction of UN reform and governance are threatening to collide with a rapidly approaching spending cap. Unresolved, these differences could paralyze the UN –- paralyze diplomacy, paralyze operations, and paralyze the reform process. Some UN operations could even be curtailed or shut down.

You can help —- and it’ll only take a minute. A new campaign called Resolve the Crisis: Don’t Shut Down the UN is urging world leaders to resolve the crisis, so the UN can continue its life-saving work for security, development, and humanitarian relief. The campaign is sponsored by the Better World Campaign, a project of our sister organization, the Better World Fund.

Will you take a moment to let world leaders know you care? To learn more and sign the petition, visit www.dontshutdowntheun.org.

Thanks for your time and interest. With your help, we can let world leaders know that we need the UN —- and that we need them to work together to make sure the UN can work for us all.
