Leveraging Global Human Rights to Protect Rights in our Cities
Monday, December 9, 3:00PM Eastern/ 2:00PM Central/ 12:00 Pacific
**Register at: bit.ly/rightswebinar

As the United Nations begins a formal review of U.S. human rights policy, this webinar presents information on how advocates in cities can utilize international human rights as tools for addressing pressing problems like affordable housing, immigrant rights, racial equity, and reproductive health. Advocates and legal experts will speak about how international human rights law can be a resource for improving local conditions and increasing the visibility of human rights challenges in ways that support changes in national policies. Panelists will consider how international attention to the need for stronger human rights protections within the United States can help us increase cities’ capacities to protect and promote human rights for all residents.

Speakers: Amy Bergquist, The Advocates for Human Rights; Nicoletta Zappile, UPR-Info; Joshua Cooper, Human Rights Cities Alliance
Co-sponsored by: Human Rights Cities Alliance & University of Alabama-Birmingham Institute for Human Rights
