🇺🇳🌁🌲 Ready Bay Area? UN Day is around the corner and you are cordially invited to join us for a First-Ever Ceremonial Peace Walk at Muir Woods. This UN Day, the journey on the UNCT doesn’t end in San Francisco. On October 24th, the UN Charter Trail is doing something it has never done before: inviting the community to a special Ceremonial Peace Walk at Muir Woods, in partnership with Muir Woods National Monument and its park rangers.
There’s a remarkable connection between Muir Woods and the founding of the United Nations that not many people know. On May 19th, 1945, delegates gathered ahead of the historic United Nations Conference among these ancient redwoods to pay tribute to the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, known as the “Chief Architect of the United Nations.” Muir Woods is recognized as a “temple of peace,” and offered a place of reflection during this pivotal moment in world history.
Now, more than eight decades later, we’re returning to that spirit of peace and refuge.
Starting at 4:00 PM on October 24th, this special two-hour guided walk with Muir Woods rangers invites participants to reflect on the forest’s unique role in the story of the UN, the importance of peace in our lives, and ongoing efforts to protect the quiet of Cathedral Grove. This is an opportunity to reconnect with nature, history, and one another.
The walk begins at the Entry Archway next to the Muir Woods Visitor Center and concludes at 6:00 PM. More info and tickets 🎟️ follow the link in bio. See you out there #trailblazers #unday #unitednations #walkthetalk #muirwoods

💗 SHE RISES 2026 | INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE GIRL CHILD 🩷🌸

The UNA-USA Women Committee Affinity Group members came together to create a 1 min video individually sharing what International day of the girl child means to us. We believe that girl’s rights should never be negotiable. Her dreams should never be limited by her circumstances. International Day of the Girl Child is more than one day of celebration. It is a call to action. Every girl deserves the right to education, safety, dignity, opportunity, and the freedom to choose her future. No girl should have to abandon her dreams because of child marriage, endure abuse in silence, or allow intimidation to convince her that her voice does not matter.

To every girl child: You are strong. You are resilient. Your dreams are valid. Your voice deserves to be heard. Never let anyone convince you that you must become smaller to make others comfortable. And to families, communities, and leaders, our responsibility is not simply to celebrate girls, but to protect them, listen to them, stand up for their rights, and create opportunities for them to thrive.

At JuonGerald Foundation (Home of Divine Grace), we believe that every girl deserves a future filled with hope, possibility, and purpose. Let us not celebrate girls for one day and forget their struggles for the remaining 364 days in a year. Let us speak up, stand together, break barriers, and make every day a day when girls are valued, protected, and empowered.

✨💚 SHE RISES 2026 Educate, Empower & Elevate 🌱
