To celebrate LGBTQ+ pride, the #DiplomacyUnited group has shared a joint campaign across Twitter and Instagram. 

Once again, members of the diplomatic community across Washington, DC have come together behind a common cause. Building on past campaigns to mark International Human Rights Day and International Women’s Day, embassies and global organizations in D.C., together with the Digital Diplomacy Coalition, used their social media presences to show support for LGBTQ+ communities and spread a message promoting equal rights for all.

Check out the Twitter Collection below and watch the Instagram Story here.


#DiplomacyUnited is an informal community originating from the first international digital diplomacy conference held in Stockholm in 2014. The group has continued to collaborate over the years, and has also grown to include additional embassies and organizations.

#DiplomacyUnited for Human Rights Day 2019

For Human Rights Day 2019, a group of digital diplomats and partners came together to share a Twitter thread, a coordinated campaign and a common objective.

IMG_20191210_091758On December 10th, 2019 nine embassies in Washington, DC (@SwissEmbassyUSA, @FranceInTheUS, @CanEmbUSA, @FinnEmbassyDC, @ItalyinUS, @NLintheUSA, @SwedeninUSA, @DenmarkinUSA, @SpainInTheUSA) together with the U.S. Department of State (@StateDRL) and the Digital Diplomacy Coalition (@digidiplomats), used their collective social media presence to send a message.

Building on efforts from International Women’s Day in 2019, the informal group — a legacy of the first international digital diplomacy conference held in Stockholm in 2014, collaborations by individual embassies and the Digital Diplomacy Coalition network — took to Twitter to bring attention to the 71st anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and their collective goal of supporting human rights globally. Through bespoke tweets and a coordinated series of videos, each participating embassy or organization shared a unique message and highlighted one of the Articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Like all digital threads, we hope to see this conversation grow, others to join in the cause and for new ideas to emerge from the effort.
