Join Bloggers Unite For Human Rights On May 15th, 2008
Friday, April 18th, 2008|
Thanks to you, May marks the first anniversary of Bloggers Unite and this time we’re launching an awareness campaign chosen by BlogCatalog members. On May 15, let’s unite for human rights and make a statement that all people are born with basic rights and freedoms - life, liberty, and justice! On May 15th 2008, let’s come together and all blog about Human Rights. There are dozens and dozens of human rights issues that you can write about. The one you choose is up to you. |

Topics to Consider

Learn More About Human Rights
There are many organizations that promote human rights and work to protect people. We’ve picked three to help you learn more and find breaking topics.
- Amnesty International (http://www.amnesty.org/) is a worldwide movement of people who campaign for internationally recognized human rights for all. They work to improve human rights through campaigning and international solidarity.
- Human Right Watch (http://www.hrw.org/) is dedicated to protecting human rights of people around the world. They stand with victims and activists to prevent discrimination, uphold political freedom, protect people from inhumane conduct in wartime, and to bring offenders to justice.
- Youth For Human Rights (http://www.youthforhumanrights.org) is an independent non-profit that educates people about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights so they become valuable advocates for tolerance and peace.
We have an entire group discussion dedicated to Bloggers Unite (http://www.blogcatalog.com/group/bloggers-unite) where you can add more organizations that you think are worth including.
How To Join Bloggers Unite!
To join, simply visit the Bloggers Unite page (http://unite.blogcatalog.com/) to get more information. Then, on Thursday, May 15th, write a blog post that shares awareness about human rights.
Your blog post could:
- Have the title “Bloggers Unite For Human Rights” (or some variation).
- include an example of human rights so people can learn about it.
- Explain the importance of human rights and how it applies to everyone.
- Link to one of the sites we’ve listed or the most suitable site for your country.
- And add a link to our BlogCatalog Community Human Rights Awareness Campaign page so we can give you and your blog credit for being part of it.
If you have any questions, please e-mail bloggersunite@blogcatalog.com. And please, don’t forget to tell your friends to blog about this too. Together, I know we can raise awareness and prove bloggers can do good!
Sounds like a wonderful idea.
Peace
Blog with other Web users this May!

This is a a great idea. I’m on board and I have posted to my blog to encourage other bloggers to join Blog Catalog and to join Bloggers Unite for Human Rights on May 15th. http://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2008/04/21/bloggers-unite-for-human-rights/
I just wish that one day, this event will be replicated in our country, too.
This is a great idea. I tottaly believe that in order to make world changes we need to unite. I for one will be there, writing and sharing my views. Good luck and divine blessings
I, myself, is the victim of gross violation of human rights by government of India and a section of Indian Media. For last three years, I have been fighting for justice and freedom to live a free life without any sucess.

[...] May 15th is Bloggers Unite for Human Rights Day. [...]
This is going to be amazing.
It’s just a shame that we have the power TODAY to end ALL world suffering, and we won’t.
The gap between those who have and those who have NOT is growing bigger all the time — we must stop expecting the “next” generation to pick up the pieces when we can deliver peace today.
Good idea. Hope it will be repeated.
Like a lot of good things, human rights should start at home… in the US, the UK and wherever else in the developed world most here are located
