CAMPAIGNS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS

Any Hub group may create a campaign page which features its selected campaign media, information, resources, events, specific online and off-line action items, and opportunities to get more involved.

TAKE ACTION TO CREATE CHANGE

The Hub features a growing portfolio of advocacy tools to help allies and users call for action. These range from petitions to creating offline events. Tell us about advocacy tools you think we should include.

SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE

How do I film safely? How do I conduct a human rights-sensitive interview? How can I distribute my video to maximum effect? A toolkit that will help you answer these and other questions is coming to the Hub soon – but that’s only part of the picture. To share your own expertise with others, click here.

Think Outside the Bottle is a campaign working to promote, protect and ensure public funding for our public water systems. That means challenging corporations who undermine public confidence in tap water. It also means working with mayors, faith groups, restaurants, celebrities, campuses, and individuals to support public systems by opting for tap over bottled water.
