All of these events take place at the Church Center for the United Nations, 777 UN Plaza (1st Ave.) at 44th Street.

There have been some major changes in the UN since the Ecumenical Women Advocacy Guide was first created (UN Women, anyone?).  Because of that, and other things we’ve learned over the past few years, we wanted to update the EW Advocacy Guide.  So, here it is.  Download it, forward it, read it, and get ready to meet together in advocacy soon!
