The US Human Rights Network has organized a delegation that will go to Geneva, Switzerland to observe, and exchange experiences with other NGO’s during the review process. Members of the USHRN delegation will also be given the opportunity to speak during the review session, sharing their experiences with racial discrimination and violations the CERD treaty; to which the US is a signatory.
On Thursday, February 21st, members of the USHRN delegation, which include grassroots organizers, youth, housing rights, stop school to prison pipeline advocates, LGBT organizers and others, will provide participant report backs on the review process that is taking place at the United Nations in regards to the CERD review process.
This will be a historic opportunity that will allow conference call participants to get a timely update on what is taking place in regards to “Holding the US Accountable!”
