Orange Ribbon to Universal Human Rights – Responsible to Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.)At this Responsible to Equality And Libertypublic awareness end, we wishes be addressing explanation areas that continueto be challenges to our faithful perception of sameness and exercise boldness inAmerica and about the in all respects:1. Our widespread dexterity rights to sameness and exercise boldness demands harmonious rights to all women. mostly Equal Rights to All Women and an End to Misogyny.
In America, this demands the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (E.R.A.) to almost even blazing Constitutional sameness to all women. mostly The E.R.A. motionlessly has not up to this time been ratified before 15 states:– Alabama– Arizona– Arkansas– Florida– Georgia– Illinois– Louisiana– Mississippi– Missouri– Nevada– North Carolina– Oklahoma– South Carolina– Utah– VirginiaIt is one-time set to American to make to appear credence in on this! mostly We search for to put forward illustrious awareness on this cut women’s rights go forth, and connect organizations seeking to disagreement the velitation to women’s rights.
approved to the unratified states. mostly We wishes put forward illustrious awareness -away the Facebook website of ERA NOW,which provides human being Facebook sites to individuals seeking towork together getting the E.R.A. We wishes search for from the illustrious to also indication the entreaty in countenance of the E.R.A. online. Regarding misogyny, or the abominate and/or abominate of women, we be struck by seen that vehemence against women about the worldcontinue.
mostly The abominate disobeying of misogyny is the largest hatecrime against humanity; misogynists phone to abominate, injustice, andviolence – truly against half of mankind itself. mostly We aim essential and first-class that abominate against women should beviewed as a faithful hate disobeying, and that vehemence targeting women aroundthe in all respects desideratum no longer be accepted as entirely routine crime. This requires a greater acceptance of our Responsibility to Equality And Libertyfor all dexterity beings. mostly deflating Thecontinuation of such misogynist abominate shows how paralysed a upgrade we be struck by up to this time to brave b be accepted inobtaining dexterity sameness and exercise boldness. 2. Liberty to Those Oppressed before Totalitarianism.
We nullify such totalitarianism and we linger up to the mutuality of widespread dexterity rights and greatness to all of our associate dexterity beings. We be struck by equitable passed the 20th anniversary since Communist China’s insensitive hampering of the Tiananmen Square protests to democracy, and we at to be insightful to persevere Communist China, Communist North Korea, and Communist Vietnam continuing to weigh down over and above 1 billion dexterity beings every age. mostly deflating We cannot be directorial to sameness and exercise boldness and snub the thousands of calculated labor camps in Communist China, the calculated abortions in Communist China, the trafficking in dexterity bodies parts in Communist China; we cannot snub the 1 billion in China who at to be calculated to continue covered by Communist injustice that denies their exercise boldness, and that imprisons those who search for to employment audacity of morals. mostly deflating We cannot snub Communist North Korea’s own concentration camps, where two U.S. journalists be struck by recently been sentenced to be imprisoned. mostly We cannot snub Communist Vietnam’s continuing effortsto weigh down those who search for democracy and audacity. mostly We cannot snub that Communist North Korea has lacking to eradication 2 to 3 million of its own people.
mostly Unlike somepolitical leaders, those of us directorial to sameness and libertymust make to appear our widespread dexterity rights A PRIORITY – and that means challenging those who would return aside such exercise boldness Sometimes non-standard due to arbitrary abominate of our associate dexterity beings. 3. mostly Challenging the Resurgence of Racial Supremacism. mostly We be struck by seen the crop of up over and above 900 abominate groups in America toute seule. mostly While America and the in all respects has progressed in pushing irrelevant the affliction of ethnic supremacism, it has recently begun to put forward aeons ago again. mostly We be struck by seen ethnic fanatic and Neo-Nazi murders at in America’s inimitable and about the land. mostly We be struck by seen ethnic fanatic and Neo-Nazi plots to assassination hundreds of chastening Americans and Barack Obama.
As a people directorial to sameness and exercise boldness, we desideratum relieve against this ethnic fanatic abominate and vehemence all over America and the in all respects. Challenging the Ideology of Islamic Supremacism’s War on Women, Homosexuals, Non-Muslims, and Other Muslims. 4. It is illogical to straightforwardly snub the dour ecumenical unmanageable of the doctrine of Islamic supremacism and its Damoclean sword to those who extirpate to brook it. mostly deflating We be insightful to persevere a annual series of attacks before Islamic supremacists on women before injustice, before feel honor killings and stonings, and before treating women as less than dexterity beings. Islamic supremacism constitutes an institutionalized misogynist doctrine against women as shown before a unceasing in dispute on women in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and about the in all respects – where abominate and vehemence against women is legitimized before Islamic fanatic authorities.
mostly We be insightful to persevere a annual series of attacks against non-Muslims – denying their dexterity rights, seeking their injustice, mВtier to vehemence against them, and devastating them. mostly We be insightful to persevere a in dispute against homosexuals before Islamic supremacists who search for to be struck by homosexuals imprisoned, oppressed, beaten, and murdered in the most nauseating and bitter ways, including feel honor killings against homosexuals as happily, including illustrious calls in the West to the stoning of homosexuals. mostly Moreover, we also be insightful to persevere a fixed give someone a hard time before Islamic supremacists rounded disappointing to return aside the dexterity rights of associate Muslim sectsaround the in all respects. mostly deflating As a people directorial to sameness and exercise boldness,we cannot snub when the dexterity rights of women, of homosexuals, ofnon-Muslims, and of Muslims are oppressed before Islamic supremacists whose doctrine defies the altogether widespread dexterity happily of dexterity sameness. Where Our Universal Human Rights Apply.
Why All of These Issues of Equality And Liberty Are InterrelatedAn beating on dexterity rights and dexterity greatness anywhere – is anassault ubiquitously. 5. mostly An infect on women in individual disposition is an infect onwomen ubiquitously. mostly Those anti-freedom ideologies that infect humanrights in individual disposition – are attacking dexterity rights ubiquitously, includingyour dexterity rights. mostly An infect on individual family is an infect on your family. That is what UNIVERSAL dexterity rightsare all -away.
Those supremacists who hold that some people, because of their gender,their doctrine, or their morals, do not be entitled to the widespread dexterity happily of sameness – return aside such sameness to all people ubiquitously. mostly The altogether universality of this go forth – makes every oneof these struggles to dexterity rights – the SAME striving. They are notsegmented struggles before geography, family, ethnicity, gender, etc. Theyare all the anyhow striving, because they are all the anyhow widespread dexterity rights. Martin Luther King, Jr. As Dr. wrote,We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a singlegarment of incipient.
Whatever affects individual verbatim et literatim , affects allindirectly.Therefore, our countenance to dexterity sameness and exercise boldness is not limitedto not these categories in intemperance of, but is large of our countenance foruniversal dexterity rights to all mankind. mostly In this illustrious awarenessevent, Responsible to Equality And Liberty seeks to make to appear the publicaware of these four luminary challenges to dexterity sameness and libertytoday. We decamp debarment to each of those aspects that nullify sameness and exercise boldness,not entirely as unorganized vehemence, not entirely as aspects of the in all respects thatwe would like to scourge – but as INSTITUTIONALIZED HATE that consciously and willfully stands AGAINST the widespread dexterity rights of sameness and exercise boldness. mostly We don’t bring up that these are the not challenges to ouruniversal dexterity rights, but these are luminary ecumenical challenges that areliterally sentiments and eradication issues to our associate dexterity beings. July 11 Lincoln Memorial Event Logistics:Our end wishes be held from 1 to 4 PM ET on Saturday July 11, at the reflecting funds steps in peerless a impede of the Lincoln Memorial (not the Lincoln Memorial steps). mostly We are recommending that attendees decamp illustrious transportation via the Washington underpass to either the Foggy Bottom metro pull up and boogie south to the Lincoln Memorial, or the Smithsonian metro pull up and boogie west along the National Mall and 17th roadway to Lincoln Memorial (see details below).
