Please join us for an evening of celebration as we acknowledge the work of Quakers at the United Nations and our role as ambassadors for peace. For 75 years, the Quaker UN Office has engaged and supported diplomats, UN officials, and community members to implement the original vision of peace and human rights enshrined in the United Nations’ Charter. Our commitment to lifting up diverse perspectives, insights, and concerns has led Quakers to be seen as trusted partners who create the space for new and creative solutions in response to global challenges. We are excited to bring our community and Friends together to celebrate this important work!
In-person tickets are extremely limited. Please contact Bertie Downs at bertie@wingo.nyc if you would like to purchase a ticket. Register here for the livestream or to make a donation.
