On 21 January, nearly 200 UNICEF supporters in the United States joined online for our first political advocacy webinar of 2021. The goal of the webinar was to figure out how to advocate for Biden-Harris’ new Congress and direction for UNICEF’s paintings and political priorities. .
More interestingly, newly elected MP Sara Jacobs (D-CA) joined the verbal exchange to discuss her delight as a new member of Congress and her goals for this mandate.
Prior to joining Congress, Representative Jacobs painted for UNICEF’s Innovation Office. His paintings have contributed to Project Connect, an initiative to map the connectivity of schools around the world to promote Internet equity.
Here are some highlights of the discussion:
