Tell Obama: Support Human Rights

Sponsored by: Better World Campaign

60 years ago, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights--a remarkable document enumerating the essential freedoms every individual deserves.

The Universal Declaration was championed by Eleanor Roosevelt, who envisioned a world in which everyone's basic human rights are upheld.

Unfortunately, Eleanor Roosevelt's vision is a distant dream for millions. We must do better.

The UN has made great progress in protecting the rights of people all over the world, combating discrimination, monitoring countries' human rights situations, and rapidly responding to human rights crises.

But currently, the United States is sitting on the sidelines of the UN's Human Rights Council.  

Tell our next President, Barack Obama, to commit to working with the UN to protect and promote human rights worldwide. A strong, proactive agenda from Obama can bring freedom and dignity to millions of people, and help improve America's image.

The U.S. government provides more aid to Israel than to any other country—the vast majority of this is for military purposes. Billions of our taxpayer dollars have propped up the occupation and fuelled the genocide in Palestine. This aid must end... PLEASE end it and show the world we no longer support these atrocities against civilians.
