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.

After four storms in August and September 2008 brought widespread death and destruction to Haiti, the U.S. government suspended Haitian deportations for three months. But expulsions resumed after Dec. 5, sending dozens of Haitians back to their homeland since then. In February, U.S. immigration officials announced that 30,299 Haitians were subject to immediate deportation back to Haiti. Please join us in urging President Obama to Stay deportations to Haiti.
