The U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC) is a broad-based nonpartisan coalition of businesses, NGOs, national security and foreign policy experts, faith and community leaders that advocates for strong U.S. global engagement by elevating diplomacy and development alongside defense. USGLC works to educate policymakers and the public about the strategic, economic, and humanitarian benefits of investing in civilian-led foreign assistance and diplomatic programs.
