Many years ago (I think back in 1987), I had a vision of being in #PortlandME, on a hill by the ocean (Munjoy Hill), at a protest, and was assassinated (shot in the back). That vision has never scared me off, and I even organized protests in that spot... Because, to know that I might die defending the rights of others to exist (and Mother Earth to flourish), and to possibly die standing up for what I believe is right, is to die as a warrior. And to be a warrior for human rights and Mother Earth is what is so needed right now. I'm not afraid to die. And I'm not afraid to live. I've lived my life fully, and have had close brushes with death. But to me, to die a coward is a fate worse than death.

So therefore, we shall bridge the gap between the principles of human rights and daily experiences. Always campaign for human rights, as I always do. If not us, who else? Humanity is one and all humans must have their human rights.

These essential rights are enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or UDHR. Maybe many of us think that all these rights have been realised throughout the world, sorry, not everyone is enjoying the rights that they should have enjoyed since birth.

Those abstract ideas become real when we realise that things like spending time with family, reading the news, walking freely, drinking clean water, or enjoying a meal are possible when our human rights are fulfilled, protected, and defended.

@realDonaldTrump Threatening military leaders and suggesting cities become “training grounds” is an assault on democracy. This rhetoric normalizes repression and endangers civilians’ rights. We demand accountability and defense of human rights — not flags of fear. #DefendHumanRights #NoToAuthoritarianism 👇🏼

This is what #Authoritarianism looks like. The #Trump admin, with #Musk’s blessing, is tearing down #USAID - #blocking #humanitarian aid, #gutting #global #health programs, and #silencing #oversight. Covering up signs won’t hide the #truth: this is a power grab. They want #chaos, not #governance. We see you. We won’t forget. #SaveUSAID #GOPCorruption #TrumpChaos #Resist #NoToFascism #ElonMusk #DemocracyUnderAttack #DefendHumanRights #LGBTQRights #StopTheGOP

Thanks to Rep. Cori Bush and 12 others: If passed, the bill would require the Biden administration to create a whole-of-government strategy to strengthen protections for at-risk rights defenders, create a dedicated section regarding threats to rights defenders in the State Department’s annual Human Rights Report, implement mandatory training on how to monitor and respond to threats against rights defenders for all U.S. diplomats, and increase protections for civil society leaders engaged in multilateral spaces.
