#SocialJustice is more than an ideal. It is the foundation of resilient and peaceful societies.
Achieving it requires collective action across the full range of policy areas.
On #SocialJusticeDay let's recommit to building a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

At UNGA, I joined leaders from across the Americas to drive forward our collective efforts to respond to irregular migration and forced displacement. Together, we can address the unprecedented level of migration in our hemisphere and advance the goals of the LA Declaration.
