What we do:
Try to raise awareness about human rights,
and fight to protect people who are having these rights infringed.
Usually, a meeting will consist of announcements, and then Urgent Action writing.
When we meet:
Every Wednesday B block in the school year.
Why we meet:
Everyone is born will unalienable rights,
that should not be taken away from them under any circumstances.
Living in a country where we have a lot more of these rights (of course,
there are some we are still lacking and others that may be taken if we are not vigilant)
it is the least we can do, to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.
