This World Humanitarian Day, we join the United Nations in relaunching #ActForHumanity with renewed urgency, demanding protection, accountability, and action.
Now is the time to turn outrage into real pressure on those in power, calling on them to:
If we cannot protect those who save lives, what does that say about us? If we allow this to continue, we risk losing not just a system, but our very sense of humanity.
To truly make a difference, we need more people to raise their voices and take part. Join UNA-Atlanta to engage in humanitarian activities and help us advocate for a more just and compassionate world.
About World Humanitarian Day
World Humanitarian Day is observed each year on August 19 to honor humanitarian workers and rally support for people affected by crises. The day was designated by the UN in memory of the 2003 attack on its Baghdad headquarters, which killed 22 staff. Led by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the campaign spotlights global solidarity and action each year.

Now is the time to turn outrage into real pressure on those in power, calling on them to:
- Protect humanitarian workers and the civilians they serve
- Uphold international humanitarian law
- Fund the lifelines we claim to support
