Juli,

As we approach the 60 year mark since the UN adopted the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, we want to hear from you. Here are two ways that you can demand that the US Administration uphold human rights.



1. Make a movie: We have launched the MADRE 1 Minute Video Challenge! Submit your 1 minute video in answer to this question: how would YOU share the message that the new US administration must uphold human rights?  Be creative!  We want to hear your voice.

Learn more here.



2. Sign a petition: USAID recently pressured six countries in Africa to halt the supply of US-funded contraceptives to the well-respected international aid and reproductive health organization Marie Stopes International (MSI). This decision will endanger the lives of women in rural Africa who depend on the contraceptives that MSI provides in order to safely control their own reproductive health.

Learn more and sign the petition.













For Peace and Justice,

          - Vivian


P.S. - Know people who want to support human rights? Pass on this message to your family and friends.
