Historic UNGA on social media

As the United Nations marks 75 years of helping people everywhere, this year’s General Assembly session will be unlike any other.

Although most of us will not be gathering at the UN’s New York Headquarters this year, this General Assembly — coming at a time of urgent global challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic — is perhaps more important than ever before.

Here are some ways you can use your voice on social media to be part of this historic UNGA and show your support for peace, human rights and the Sustainable Development Goals.
