I missed the
Thunderclap (small print on the UN High Commission
page) and only just now noticed the Storify. In Chicago,
+lydsnow got a jump on everybody with an
+Amnesty International Write for Rights (
#adjunctrights are #humanrights)
campaign on the NEIU campus ~ with a Facebook Event page here and blogged
here. There are Vines and more than one
Storify, but as far as I know, this was the only adjunct action for
Human Rights Day 2014 but maybe someone will check in and add more. It's never too late to read the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights again ~ good sections on labor and education. Or right letter, sign petitions, speak out.
The other take away is in the tag: #Rights365 = every day is a human rights day. Missed today? You've got 364 days to get cracking. Our work is cut out for us with Ayotzinapa, Ferguson, child refugees seeking asylum and more on the table and in the streets while public education, social justice and even the concept of a public good is under assault ~ along with other human rights. Those include freedom of speech (second sentence of Preamble, check it out) and the right to organize (Article 23).
