About this event

The 2028 Summer Olympics bring the world to Los Angeles — and with it, a once-in-a-generation chance to put human rights at the center of the global conversation. Through Peace Through Sports, the UNA-USA Human Rights Affinity Group organizes a delegation of members, youth advocates, and chapter leaders to carry the values of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights into the Games and their host communities.

Registering now reserves your place in the delegation and adds you to briefings, volunteer opportunities, and community events on the road to 2028. Stand for human rights on the biggest stage on Earth.
