\nUTA partner and agent Jeremy Barber has been appointed to UNICEF USA\u2019s national board of directors.<\/p>

\n\t\u201cI don\u2019t know that there\u2019s more important work ultimately than the well-being of children,\u201d Barber tells me during an exclusive interview. \u201cIt\u2019s irrefutable, right? It\u2019s not left or right. I would tell you, I\u2019m a Rockefeller Republican, which means I\u2019m a bleeding-heart liberal and I\u2019m a conservative with a small \u201cc.\u201d I believe we\u2019re here to take care of each other. We gotta do right. You can\u2019t step over bodies.\u201d\n\n\t\n\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn fact, before joining UNICEF, Barber was on the board of The People Concern, one of Los Angeles County\u2019s largest and most impactful social service providers that addresses homelessness, poverty, mental and physical illness, abuse and addiction.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDuring Covid, my three kids and I were biking in Venice,\u201d Barber recalls. \u201cWe saw a shanty town, and I had fed the homeless when I worked in Washington, DC [he had a career in politics before making a foray into Hollywood], and I was like, \u2018I\u2019m not going to model for my children or anybody that it\u2019s OK to let humans live on the streets.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI did a tour of all these boards, and the People Concern is this incredible board run by this Jesuitical guy John Maceri, who actually comes out of the AIDS battles, and what he discerned is if you combine social services and housing on site, you retain people, because a housing crisis is a social service crisis,\u201d he continued. \u201cIf you just do the social services, it doesn\u2019t work, and if you just do the housing, it doesn\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBeing of service and helping those in need has been instilled in him since his childhood days growing up on Manhattan\u2019s Upper West Side. His mom was a leading education advocate and innovator in New York City, where she opened charter schools and launched free meal programs for kids. \u201cShe really didn\u2019t believe any kid was responsible for where they were born,\u201d Barber says. \u201cShe was a white woman who walked through the absolute heart of the Bronx with not racism in her heart or anything, but the belief that every child deserved a chance.\u201d\n\n\t\n<\/p>

\n\tAs the world economy continues to be squeezed and international aid is being diminished, organizations like UNICEF have quickly adapted while still reaching their goals. \u201cThe work of UNICEF has never been more important or critical,\u201d Barber said.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen we talked, parts of Venezuela had just been devastated by the recent earthquakes. \u201cThey are boots on the ground,\u201d Barber said of UNICEF\u2019s work in the South American country.<\/p>\n

\n\tBarber is hoping to enlist Hollywood and the creative community to tell UNICEF\u2019s stories. \u201cWhether it\u2019s the influencer economy, whether it\u2019s the movie star business, whether it\u2019s podcasts, we have a lot of ways where we can help both tell the story of things and push those ideas out,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to Barber, UNICEF announced that Rep. Michael T. McCaul (R-Texas) and Jon Tester, former Democratic senator from Montana, have also joined the board.<\/p>
