<div dir="ltr"><p><strong>Just a little over one week ago, CitizenGO achieved a great victory at the United Nations!</strong> And we could not have accomplished it without your help...</p>
<p>On Friday, December 5, CitizenGO joined <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,0)"><u><strong>Hungary at
the United Nations</strong></u></span> to sponsor the Political Network for Values'
Transatlantic Summit on the role of the family in sustainable global
development!</p>
<p><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,0)"><u><b><span>Mr. </span><span>Zoltan Balog, the Hungarian Minister for Human Capacities, told participants that <em>"family is the most important national resource of Hungary.</em></span><span><em>”</em> He
said that the Hungarian constitution is committed to marriage between
one man and one woman, since it is the best structure for children.</span></b></u></span></p>
<p><span>Mr. Balog also told the Summit that Hungary is working to defend the <strong>personhood</strong> of all human beings, from the moment of conception. He <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,0)"><u><b>quoted from the new Hungarian constitution, which says<span style="background-color:rgb(217,234,211)">: <em>"Human dignity shall be inviolable. The fetus shall be protected from the moment of conception."</em></span></b></u></span></span></p>
<p>This was <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,0)"><strong><strong>a major international victory, as we were able to join
Hungary in bringing together so many policy-makers who support family
and life! I</strong>t was a breath-taking success! Let's thank the Hungarian ambassador for his leadership for the family at the United Nations:</strong></span></p><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,0)"><b>
</b></span><p style="padding-left:30px"><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,0)"><b>Thank Ambassador <span>Kőrösi and Minister Balog: <a href="http://acem.citizengo.org/lt.php?c=884&m=943&nl=5&s=630c06768c07e6a5d52271fa3a528442&lid=13286&l=-http--citizengo.org/en/14671-thank-hungary-promoting-family-un" target="_blank">http://citizengo.org/en/14671-thank-hungary-promoting-family-un</a></span></b></span></p>
<p><span>More than 60 parliamentarians from 20 countries in Africa,
South America, North America, and Europe came together to sign the
"Declaration on the Rights of the Family," which affirms that</span><span> <em>"family is the natural and fundamental unit of society”</em> and that <em>"everyone has the inherent right to life, commencing from the moment of conception until natural death.”</em></span></p>
<p>Hungary's support for marriage and personhood was vital! <strong>In fact, they delivered the Declaration to the U.N. Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon!</strong></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px">Sign the thank you note here: <a href="http://acem.citizengo.org/lt.php?c=884&m=943&nl=5&s=630c06768c07e6a5d52271fa3a528442&lid=13286&l=-http--citizengo.org/en/14671-thank-hungary-promoting-family-un" target="_blank">http://citizengo.org/en/14671-thank-hungary-promoting-family-un</a></p>
<p>We must encourage our allies to continue to stand for life and marriage in international institutions like the United Nations. <strong>It happens rarely, and we want to see more pro-life, pro-family leaders take a stand!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Will you join CitizenGO in extending a warm thanks to the Hungarian Mission to the United Nations?</strong><span> Their stand for the family deserves to be recognized.</span></p>
