Donde estamos

HOW WE DO IT

We seek dialogue and coordination between religious groups without unifying religion, creed or doctrine. We believe in the foundation of friendship as a bridge and access for dialogue, all this with the goal of safeguarding, defending and protecting the freedom and natural rights of all.
To achieve this objective, our ambassadors promote and coordinate dialogue tables in each country, which are called "Multireligious Round Tables".

 

 

 

ACHIEVEMENTS

Through the multi-faith roundtables we promote dialogue and coordination for projects such as: Law, Public Policy, Legal Advocacy, Political Strategy and Communication Strategy.

OUR GOAL

Our work is based on the management of access and relations between different groups and sectors in each country. We act as a bridge between civil society, religious and governmental entities, businessmen and politicians to promote dialogue and consensus that generates concrete actions.

 

 

 

STRATEGIC ALLIANCES

We work in strategic alliance with the IRF SECRETARIAT representing this organization for the Latin American region. Together, we promote the Latin American countries to join the IRFBA Alliance promoted by the U.S. Department of State. Estamos Unidos has been appointed by the IRF Secretariat as a regional partner and official representative for Latin America.
