Co-chair, Advancing Human Rights Issues Committee
We learned much from members at the human rights umbrella workshop at the Chicago Triennial Congress last summer. We are working on and interested in a wide range of intersecting issues including, but not limited to: reproductive rights reproductive justice, gender equality, racial justice, white privilege, age discrimination and ageism, disability discrimination, and the overall choices of a society based on capitalism and how they result in the devaluation of humans/people power and their commodification.
The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and Cities for CEDAW, Women, Peace and Security and UNSCR 1325 (and its progeny) were also prominent in many members’ priorities.
By the time you read this, we will have had our first AHR 2018 meeting in March. We look forward to members who are working on issues under the AHR umbrella joining the call at our April meeting on Thursday, April 5.
These are Maestro conferencing calls that require registration. If you are not registered already for this Advancing Human Rights Issues Committee call series, please do so using this hyperlink: http://myaccount.maestroconference.com/conference/register/X4G4Q7YFA8VLGY
Note: Our Racial Justice Working Group of the AHR Issues Committee has begun meeting on the fourth Thursdays of the month, at the same times (5/6/7/8 pm). In these Maestro conferencing calls, discussion, learning and activism on and about issues around race, racial justice, racism, and related matters are most directly being focused and addressed.
