Request for support of UN75 People’s Declaration

On behalf of the UN2020 & Together First Campaigns, we invite you to endorse the UN75 People’s Declaration and Call for Global Action, “Humanity at a Crossroads: Global Solutions for Global Challenges,” that was formally received by H.E. Mr. Tijjani Muhammad-Bande, 74^th President of the General Assembly, at the UN75 People’s Forum (May 14-15). 

UN2020 is a civil society led campaign that recognizes the 75^th anniversary of the United Nations as an important opportunity for much-needed stocktaking, celebration of past achievements, and initiating measures that strengthen the organisation.  

The UN is marking its 75^th anniversary at a time of considerable disruption around the world, compounded by an unprecedented global health crisis with severe economic and social impacts. An effective multilateral system is needed now more than ever. 

The UN’s formal UN75 commemorative events will take place mostly online, this September 21. We seek as many endorsements of the People’s Declaration as possible, representing the diversity of civil society, from around the world.

As you consider the Declaration, you will see that the document reflects the principles and values of stronger international cooperation, human solidarity and global citizenship. The Declaration also proposes a bold ‘Call for Global Action’ and an annex of proposed reform proposals reflective of the aspirations of the various constituencies represented by UN2020. 

You can endorse the Declaration either as an individual, an organization, or a network. 

In endorsing the Declaration, we would also invite (a) your continued involvement in the UN2020 Campaign, and (b) your assistance in this September’s UN75 communications and campaigning. The endorsement form at the UN2020 website also provides for these additional possibilities.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or comments. 

Thank you for considering this request.

Sincerely, 

Yasmina Gourchane
