December 10 is International Human Rights Day. We demand our right to a Living Wage Job!!
"…Where, after all, do universal rights begin? In small places, close to home -- so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. Yet they are the world of the individual person; the neighborhood he or she lives in; the school or college he or she attends; the factory, the farm or office where he or she works.
Such are the places where every man, woman and child seeks
equal justice, equal opportunity, and equal dignity without discrimination.
Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere.
Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in
vain for progress in the larger world…"
--Eleanor Roosevelt (1968) commenting on the 20th
anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948)
"...It is the purpose of the Humphrey Hawkins 21st
Century Full Employment and Training Act (HR 1000) to expedite progress to
fulfill the right to useful work at living wages for all persons seeking
employment, as promptly as possible and at the earliest practicable date by
establishing a Full Employment Trust Fund to fund and operate a national
program of public service employment and to provide additional labor market
opportunities to complement those offered by the existing private, public, and
nonprofit sectors."
December 10 is International Human Rights Day and the
anniversary of the day that the Universal Declaration was adopted in 1948.
This year’s slogan, Human Rights 365, encompasses the idea
that every day is Human Rights Day. It celebrates the fundamental
proposition in the Universal Declaration that each one of us, everywhere, at
all times is entitled to the full range of human rights, that human rights
belong equally to each of us and bind us together as a global community with
the same ideals and values.
