Answer:
International Human Rights Day is a day to celebrate and advocate for the dignity, freedom, and basic human rights of all people - no matter where they are from. Passionate people everywhere are standing with the United Nations to support human rights and take collective action for a brighter future.
Around the world, including here in the U.S., we witness the basic rights of people being stripped away. Some of these rights are as severe as we've seen in history, like freedom from slavery and torture, and the right to free speech. Others are ones we find ourselves fighting for every day in our communities, like freedom from discrimination and the right to a fair trial.
While it might not be obvious, each of us has a surprising and significant influence on the lives of others... on people we don't even know. Once we step out of our bubbles of work stress and worries to strive for something greater, we - each and every one of us - hold incredible power for positive change.
