International Human Rights Day

Saturday, December 10th
1pm – meet at Bryant Square Park, 3101 Bryant Ave S, Minneapolis
Uptown march to follow
The US uses the language of human rights to justify US intervention in Ukraine and to impose sanctions on Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba.
Meanwhile the U.S. government continuously refuses to act in support of the basic human rights to education, healthcare, housing, and a live-able planet for our children here at home. After the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade, people in the US are also fighting for women’s and reproductive rights. Lastly, people of color are targeted by police and killed at an outrageous rate in their own communities.
This comes on top of longstanding US wars and interventions, which NEVER bring human rights. Instead, they brutally subject the people’s of the world to occupation and instability, while stealing their natural resources and suppressing their rights to self-determination. We see it in Palestine, where the U.S. encourages illegal annexations for Israeli settlers, and funds an ongoing war on Palestinians.
Join with us to demand respect for human rights at home and abroad!
Initiated by the Anti-War Committee.
