One Day for Human Rights
December 10 is the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In celebration of this, and in solidarity with the people throughout the world whose basic human rights are being abused, a campaign called One Day for Human Rights is petitioning to have our rights printed in passports so that they'll be accessible to the masses.
In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and in support of the Year of Human Rights as called for by the U.N., "One Day for Human Rights" is a project aimed to promote and support the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, by getting the Governments to print this document in our passports.In honor of this day, I ask you to do one simple thing, read the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and think about it. As a nation and a planet, are we doing all we can to ensure that these basic rights are protected for every world citizen? Unfortunately, it appears we still have a long way to come before everyone on this planet has access to clean water, much less freedom, equality, and protection from abuse and torture. In the days of Guantanamo Bay, Proposition H8, and genocide and atrocity in every corner of the globe, we need these human rights more than ever.
Visit One Day for Human Rights for more information, and don't forget to ssign the petition!
