Congrats to our friends Eleanor Crook Foundation for their great work combatting child malnutrition. And thanks to the manufacturers in Rhode Island & Georgia, who are making miracles with every RUTF package they create

The Hse Subcmte in charge of the UN’s budget just released its bill, w/ zero funding for the UN reg budget. This is the most anti-UN bill in U.S. history. Can we really call ourselves the leaders of the free world if we refuse to pay our dues to the global body we helped create?

Imagine the next global crisis. Is the U.S. content to sit on the sidelines? Let others speak for us? We better be, because after 2 years of not paying dues, we won’t have a vote in the General Assembly and we won’t have a voice.

You don’t need to be a geopolitical expert to know that nothing would make China or Russia happier than for the U.S. to voluntarily exit the UN.

Enjoyed my conversation with @AmbUNreform Chris Lu, discussing the enduring value of the UN with hundreds of U.S.advocates UNA-USA #LeadershipSummit2024

Today Congress debated UN funding, with some proposing that the U.S. defund the UN entirely—to pull out of the organization the U.S. brought into existence nearly 80 years ago. Do Members understand what’s at stake? Here’s my take in U.S. News & World Report: usnews.com/opinion/articl…

My take on House passage of the FY25 spending bill that defunds the UN: betterworldcampaign.org/press-release/…

Must-read from Ami Bera, M.D. and Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick on their Pacific trip with United Nations Foundation, highlighting the United Nations’s important work in the region and key lessons for the U.S. The Diplomat bit.ly/4cXcBwR

Pleased to have been part of the United Nations Foundation trip to the Pacific islands of Tuvalu, Tonga and Fiji, where you can see the impact of climate change everywhere. Luckily United Nations and USAID are fighting back. Thanks Ami Bera, M.D. & Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick for this great recap.

Secretary-General António Guterres unequivocally condemns the act of political violence that took place in Pennsylvania on Saturday. He sends his best wishes to former President Donald Trump for a speedy recovery.

Be on the lookout for our interview with UNDP Washington, dropping soon on betterworldcampaign.org!

Smart move by Senate Appropriations Dems Senate GOP Appropriations Committee. By approving full funding for the United Nations, the US benefits. More here: betterworldcampaign.org/press-release/…

I often talk about how UN engagement furthers America’s national security interests & amplifies our values. Yet there are even *more* reasons the UN works for us and I’ll be sharing them here in the coming weeks. #UNforUS For starters, there’s this:

Many thanks to U.S. Mission to the UN for a fascinating panel discussion at the US Mission about the importance of U.S. engagement, full UN funding, reform, and of course, #UNGA79. From the left:  Amb. Chris Lu Ambassador Chris Lu, Amb R. Carl Paschell,  Amb. Lisa Carty, & Amb. Robert Wood.
