Today’s the big celebration everyone–the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).  What are you doing to enjoy this day?  One great way to celebrate it is with Amnesty International, a leader in the international human rights movement. The UDHR “says that every human being deserves dignity, freedom and respect. It’s the first blueprint for global rights, establishing fundamental freedoms for every human being.”

However, despite the obvious-that all humans rights should be protected, they aren’t. That’s why we need groups like Amnesty, which is fighting to ensure all human rights are defended and protected worldwide.  takepart to sign their Protect the Human petition and learn more about their ongoing efforts to uphold the UDHR.
