Prevent President Trump's attack on UN Humanitarian Agencies
President Trump has declared a full-frontal attack on the United Nations. As the wealthiest country on earth, the US is the most influential and frequently the largest financial contributor to worldwide humanitarian causes. Without continued US support many already seriously struggling UN Agencies may die. If this happens then millions of the the most vulnerable men, women and children will be left without sustenance - without hope.
We respectfully call on President Trump to reverse his intended policy; to extend his support to the United Nations; to reach out to others across the world.
Please sign this petition before it is too late.

The massive surge in support proves that people are finally waking up to the cruelty of Trump's agenda. We have officially forced the administration to acknowledge that the world sees exactly what they are doing to the most vulnerable. Now we hold our ground and keep pushing until they retreat.

We are all now fully aware that President Trump has no respect for the United Nations that came into being after World War 2 in order to prevent war, torture, and to promote human rights for every human being. I appeal to President Trump to become aware of the consequences of his decision to withdraw from the UN in an increasingly dangerous and unjust world.
Alice and others have put their fingers on the problem. It's vital that we draw the distinction between the United Nations Security Council (that we all hear so much about and is admittedly flawed) and the extraordinarily vital efforts of UN Agencies. Without agencies like UNHCR, UNESCO, UNDP ... (including the combined work of NGO's) millions of children worldwide have no future. People in so many ravaged countries depend for their existance on temporaty assistance that can only be realistically provided by rich countries like the UK. But, most particularky, by the US - the richest and most influential of all. Rob
President Trump, please take time to understand how the United Nations helps the most vulnerable in the world to have hope and a lifeline, and without all our contributions this safety net will not function.
I work as a volunteer for UN WOMEN , the youngest of the UN agencies and cannot stress too strongly the critical work UN WOMEN does to highlight the challenges facing some of the most vulnerable women/girls accross the world. We run programmes and provide expertise to empower those women/girls to take control of their destinies: Progress for Women/Girls is Progress for All of us!
We all depend on the UN. For all its shortcomings (most of them actually the shortcomings of its member governments), if it didn't exist it would be necessary to invent it. All democratic governments have a duty to support it.
The whole world needs the UN more than ever now.
Care for Humanity is missing in President Trump's profile

We need a stronger, better resourced UN. Of course it's morally right that we should be concerned about all the world's citizens. But it's also true that the UN makes us all more secure, including people in the USA.
