#StandTogetherNow at the UN General Assembly

This September, we had the opportunity to promote the #StandTogetherNow campaign at the United Nations General Assembly in New York. A few blocks away from UN headquarters, where world leaders where gathering, we organised a public mobilisation with key partners where we called for urgent action on equality, civic space and climate and environmental justice. We also had the opportunity to showcase some of the actions that members organised all over the world.

The #StandTogetherNow public mobilisation was part of the People’s Assembly, a two-day workshop where civil society representatives discussed pressing matters that world leaders should adress and created a comprehensive call to action.
