RECENT ACTIVITY:
In June 2019, allies of United Stateless attended the World Conference on Statelessness in the Hague, organized by the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion and the CANCELLED Arts Programme. Unfortunately, no members of United Stateless were able to attend, due to travel restrictions stemming from their statelessness. A video about United Stateless was shown during the opening plenary.

United Stateless is a national organization led by stateless people whose mission is to build and inspire community among those affected by statelessness, and to advocate for their human rights.
We do this by:
Connecting, encouraging, and empowering a community of stateless people in the U.S.
Raising awareness of statelessness issues in the United States as well as globally, and educating the community/public/stakeholders about
the issue of statelessness.
Advocating for the human rights of stateless people and changes to domestic laws to introduce a path to citizenship for the stateless in the U.S.
