Tag Line:
Dedicated to educating, inspiring, and mobilizing Minnesotans to support the principles and vital work of the United Nations and its Agencies.

Your support of the United Nations is extremely important at precisely this time of international conflicts between superpowers, the historic flow of refugees, increasingly frequent natural disasters due to climate change, and pandemics/disease which threaten global public health.
