United Stateless

United Stateless (“USL") is a national organization led by stateless people. USL’s mission is to build and inspire community among those affected by statelessness, and to advocate for their human rights. The group of stateless people who founded USL in 2018, found each other through social media and web searches. These individuals collectively made the decision that they wanted to use their personal stories to advocate for changes in laws and policies to support stateless individuals. USL is the only organization in the United States that both (1) is fully dedicated to addressing statelessness here, and (2) is led by people directly impacted by statelessness. USL envisions a world where everyone's human right to nationality is respected and, as stated in Article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, no one is deprived of nationality “based on their race, ethnicity, sex, gender, or religion.”
