Happy Human Rights Day.
The UN General Assembly proclaims December 10th as Human Rights Day. It is a day to reflect on and celebrate the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a standard of achievement for all citizens of the world. It is a day for remembering what the Declaration is all about: dignity, freedom, justice, and peace, and for supporting those same citizens who continue to fight for human rights. Defenders of all stripes, from activists, teachers, advocates, writers, and journalists, work to uphold the rights that we often take for granted. It is not an easy job and it will not win you many popularity contests. My hat goes off to those who continue to educate about human rights and to those who continue to work towards a just and fair world. Ask any one of them and they will tell you that while there is much success that deserves celebrating, there is much more work that still needs to be done.
wishing you all the beautiful rights and freedoms that you so richly deserve,
