Hello to UNA San Francisco,
The UNA Gender Crosstalk Initiative aims to have 100 participants by the new moon on July 26. Everyone is encouraged to come to the party at http://ugc.unasf.intermix.org/dialogs/7/forum.
Last month we had a successful thunderclap launch for the Crosstalk that was supported by the UN Foundation, UNA-USA and the Global Fund for Women. With that kind of support, we expect to get the Initiative off the ground and become a significant nonviolent force for positive change in the world over the next two or three years.
The Gender Crosstalk will use online crowd-sourcing technology to send two messages to the Executive Director of UN Women, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka on July 26, 2014, one from the women and one from the men. Just click in here and you will be taken to the Crosstalk already logged in.
You will enjoy reading the candidate messages that have been written so far - don't forget to rate them using the dropdown rating boxes on the upper right of each message. And please post your own message to Dr Mlambo-Ngcuka. The topic is open. If you have something you have already written of 150 words or less, it is fine to use or adapt that.
Thank you!
