Why the Global Alliance and why hope?
I represent the United Stateless. We are a national stateless-led organization, working to build a community of people affected by statelessness, and to also use our legal empowerment to permanently adjust statelessness in the United States.
The Global Alliance allows for a transformative vision to make statelessness a relic of the past so that everyone has equal access to a nationality. We can permanently address the issue of statelessness only by working together.
There is a strength in unity, and it is even more powerful when that unity is diverse. And by collaboratively taking on this issue with a uniform approach that allows for understanding of all perspectives, you can really address this issue.
The Global Alliance unites us under a vision for a statelessness free world. And it gives us the opportunity to collectively hold power to put towards a lasting impact and legacy for future generations. This is how we address statelessness from ever happening in this world, by working together.

Why the Global Alliance and why is it important?
The Global Alliance is both a space and a communicative energy to bring forward our commitment for no statelessness anywhere in the world. The community of the Global Alliance will be a workspace that is inspiring, that shines a light on how together we can work on a common human rights problem.
If we pull together and do the work and mobilize the resources, we can arrive at the year 2030 with every single person on earth carrying a nationality and participating fully in their own societies.

Why the Global Alliance and why together?
Ultimately, statelessness is a human-made problem, which means that we as people and in our professional capacities have the power to change it. In that respect, it is different from some other existential challenges facing humanity.
Ten years ago, statelessness was almost invisible, despite the scale of the problem and the devastating impact. Millions of people worldwide were (and still are) living without a nationality. Thanks to UNHCR’s #IBelong Campaign and the efforts of civil society, statelessness is now firmly on the agenda. But we need to launch the Global Alliance now to catch and continue that momentum.

Why the Global Alliance and why now?
We cannot stop now. Today, there are millions of women and men, girls and boys around the world that are stateless. These are people that have no nationality and no access to rights.
The Global Alliance will be a unique and powerful tool. It brings together a diverse set of actors that each will bring their own added value, strengths, and opportunities. The Alliance will allow us to find common opportunities for cooperation, and to learn from, challenge and support one another in order to achieve change and secure solutions for millions of stateless people around the world.
