fusclimate Mailing List: Fwd: Discover Human Rights Spring Training Series

[Scott Jackson (sjackzen46]

Yo Shannon & Climate Change Agents!

Here's some information about The Advocates for Human Rights' upcoming
Discover Human Rights training series, for anyone who has the time and is
interested in sharpening their activist skills. Though the impact of
climate disruption on human rights and the accompanying issues of climate
justice aren't mentioned, I think they should be front and center in any
climate activism, and I plan to attend (though I will have to wait until
January 3, when my next social security check arrives, to register;
hopefully the series won't be filled by then).

As usual, it would be great if a couple of confreres were present as well.
The struggle of a lifetime continues.

      *JOIN THE HUMAN RIGHTS MOVEMENT!*[image: LOGO]

A growing segment of advocates and activists in the United States are
turning to human rights to secure social, political, and economic
objectives that they have sought for decades. Human rights help ensure more
participatory and sustainable solutions to social justice issues, provide
common standards against which to measure the shortcomings of domestic
policies, reframe social justice issues as human rights violations, expand
the circle of allies to the larger global human rights community, and
enhance accountability beyond the U.S. justice or political systems

 The *Discover Human Rights training series
<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=0012qvnnPGell7ce6vBzknuURzR2azcXe0l8jXPgSM97Ll2FUYxdz_tLK3tCvMYLglI8EsvWAPWlQa5i101Zk7TkT1bp8IJkaMKYve05FwQHePkhaK0SlYuSTuMtRBofS6e7O5cZv3WhcACmHt3e_pBEZkqPNAHfC8umdMKxSrZsF4=>*by
The Advocates for Human Rights provides concrete steps for  how
organizations and individuals can use the standards, principles, and
methods of human rights to combat entrenched poverty, discrimination, and
injustice in their community. Participants will analyze situations from
their own experiences and evaluate how applying a human rights framework
would change their approach to solving problems. Using tools such as
organizational assessments, case studies, and implementation models,
participants will create an action plan for incorporating human rights in
their work.

The training series consists of 4 half-day workshops (9am - 1pm) to be held
every other Friday from *January 24th to February 14th*. Participants are
strongly encouraged to attend all sessions.

*WORKSHOP 1: INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS*

*Friday, January 24          9:00 am - 1:00 pm    *

This session is a primer on human rights and the international human rights
system and explores the connection between human rights and social justice
work in the United States.


*WORKSHOP 2: STRATEGIES OF A HUMAN RIGHTS APPROACH*
*Friday, January 31                  9:00 am - 1:00 pm    *

This session sets out the main elements of a human rights approach. Four
key strategies are explained in detail, as well as how these strategies
affect social justice work.


*WORKSHOP 3: APPLYING A HUMAN RIGHTS APPROACH (PART 1)  *

*Friday, February 7           9:00 am - 1:00 pm   *

This session introduces a practical, step-by-step method for implementing
the human rights strategies explained in Workshop 2.

*WORKSHOP 4: APPLYING A HUMAN RIGHTS APPROACH (PART 2)*

 is a non-profit, non-partisan, non-governmental organization that promotes
and protects human rights in Minnesota and around the world. In addition to
speaking before the United Nations, it works with groups overseas to draft
legislation addressing violence against women in countries that previously
had no such laws; obtains political asylum for immigrants and refugees;
advocates for human rights; runs a school for children in Nepal; opposes
the death penalty; works to stop sex trafficking in Minnesota; helps make
Minnesota a more welcoming place for immigrants; and develops human rights
curricula for schools. The Advocates has a positive impact around the
world, but could always use more supporters and volunteers to further the
cause of human rights.
