It’s more important now than ever to stand in solidarity with grassroots activists and advocates as they fight to defend human rights. That’s why we’re launching our COVID-19 call to action portal here: http://tinyurl.com/unhrcovid19 . 1/14
Our call to action portal highlights the vital work of social movements all over the US — and provides you with simple ways to support and amplify their efforts while respecting #stayathome orders. 2/14
We’ll update this portal periodically as the situation progresses, but we want to take a second to tell you about how you can support this critical work today. 3/14
On 4/7, Michael Tyson died after contracting COVID while detained at Rikers on a parole violation. This is unacceptable. Join @RAPPCampaign, @WorthRises, @ColorOfChange & more to demand #ClemencyNow for vulnerable folks in NY criminal justice system. 5/14 https://act.colorofchange.org/sign/ny_cuomo_coronavirus/
We support @JusticeLANow and @FIPVoteNola as they fight to save lives in their communities. Read and amplify their demands and support #decarceration in your own community. We can’t stop until everyone’s #RightToHealth is protected. 7/14
The cash bail system will disproportionately expose poor people & people of color to coronavirus as they endure cruel pretrial detention. Consider donating to a community bail fund, like @ChiBondFund, and support their work to protect #RightToHealth through #decarceration. 8/14
Nearly half of all Americans live paycheck to paycheck. As fewer people are able to rely on stable wages, support @PplsAction petition for #RentZero. 11/14 https://homesguarantee.com/housing-covid-19/
We can’t allow government officials to exploit this crisis for political gain. Demand secure elections that don’t endanger voters’ health. Demand automatic voter registration and vote-by-mail. 13/14
Just because we’re at home doesn’t mean we can’t make a difference. Take action, support local movements, stand in solidarity with directly affected communities. Together, we’ll defend the human rights to housing, health, and life. 14/14 https://humanrightsnetwork.org/covid19
