1. Through Events:

Viva Guatemala! was a festive event highlighting Human Rights in the country. That event led to a webpage that tells hard truths: Centuries of Suppression

2. Through Letters to the Editor:

Read view on undocumented immigrants.
        See supporting facts.



Yemen prisoners in Guatanamo were cleared for release, and then denied that release. Consider this perspective.



Could it be more clearly stated that China abuses human rights, than it is here?

3. Through materials distributed in the community.

We have had a presence at TulipFest and Larkfest each year. Please look us up and browse through our materials, and sign our petitions.

We are beginning to place brochures about our group in libraries. Please contact us if they are not at your library.

Through materials distributed to schools.

For December 10, Human Rights Day we have begun to donate books to one school each year. In 2009, our donation was to the North Albany Academy; in 2010, to the Greenville Central School District. Please notify us if your school is interested in a donation. Our selections have included:
• We Are All Born Free, a picture book of the 30 articles of the Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) meant for children.
• Hard cover editions of Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations in 1948.
  
• Rogoberta Menchú Defending Human Rights in Guatemala by Michael Silverstone
