12/10: Rally and Speak-out for Human Rights, Greenfield Town Common, 4 pm

Monday, December 10, is the 49th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the General Assembly of the United Nations. To honor this document, and to raise our voices against abuse and inequality everywhere, there will be a rally and speak-out at 4 p.m. on the Greenfield Town Common.

In the words of the UN General Assembly, respect for human rights and human dignity "is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world."

We all know the extent to which the basic human rights and needs of the vast majority of people in this world, women in particular, continue to be denied by those representing and defending the power structures of global capitalism.

So please join us to reaffirm the value and importance of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by making a declaration of our own: a pledge to continue the on-going struggle for a society organized for people, not profit-- for caring, not killing.

This event is sponsored by the Connecticut Valley Coalition for Women's Lives and the Tom Mooney/Western Mass Local of the Socialist Party.
