  • Stop The Gag

    Stop The Gag

    The Department of Health and Human Services has proposed a rule that could stop doctors from giving women full and accurate information about their health care options.

    The rule proposes changes to the Title X program, a national program that funds family planning services for more than 4 million Americans, ensuring access to basic reproductive health care. It would impinge upon patients' right to access sexual and reproductive health information and services by removing the current requirement that doctors offer pregnant women neutral, factual information about their full range of options, including pregnancy termination. What’s worse, it would prohibit providers receiving Title X money from doing almost anything that might help a woman secure an abortion, including counseling or referring them to such care. In other words, it muzzles doctors, preventing them from telling most women about all of their options in relation to their pregnancy.

    Comments are due by July 31. Help us tell Sec Azar to stop the gag!

  • Stop Trump from locking up families

    Stop Trump from locking up families

    The Trump Administration believes it has solved the crisis THEY created. After ripping 2,000 children from the arms of their parents they are now preparing to lock up huge numbers of families together. Halting the separation of families is NOT enough. We must end zero tolerance and the criminalization of immigrant families. Asylum seekers should not be detained, and detention of kids is NEVER in their "best interest."

  • Solidarity with the Venezuelan People

    Solidarity with the Venezuelan People

    Venezuela is facing a heartbreaking human rights and humanitarian crisis that President Maduro's administration denies is happening. His government is brutally cracking down on dissent while severe food and medicine shortages make it near impossible for many Venezuelans to feed their children and access the most basic healthcare. Infant mortality rates are soaring. According to the New York Times, hundreds of children have died from severe malnutrition. Some Latin American leaders are speaking up, while others are ambiguous or worse, silent. It is time to join together and tell Maduro that enough is enough!

    April 19 marks the one-year anniversary of the first mass protest that was brutally repressed in 2017. Please show your support for the Venezuelan people.

  • Jewelers Should Come Clean

    Jewelers Should Come Clean

    People spend billions on jewelry every year. But most jewelry brands can’t guarantee their products aren’t tainted by human rights abuses.

    Gold and diamonds are often mined under brutal, abusive conditions. Children are injured or even killed working in hazardous mines. Whole communities face ill-health when mines pollute waterways with toxic chemicals. In war, civilians have suffered enormously as abusive armed groups have enriched themselves by exploiting gold and diamonds.

    You should know where your jewelry comes from. Tell 13 global jewelry brands to ensure their jewelry is responsibly sourced and to address human rights abuses in their supply chains.

  • Protect "Dreamers" from deportation

    Protect "Dreamers" from deportation

    Trump has ended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which shields young immigrants like Angie who were raised in the US from being deported. His latest immigration proposal pushes Congress to  dismantle family-based immigration, and spend additional funds on the government's broken and abusive immigration enforcement machine in order to protect DACA recipients and people like them from deportation. President Trump wants to build more detention centers, and hire thousands more Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Tell Congress that immigrant youth matter and are not bargaining chips. Tell your representative to protect “Dreamers” AND block Trump’s request for additional immigration enforcement funds. 

    Human Rights Watch released an automated Twitter bot, @ImmigrantsAreUS, which is tweeting out profiles of some of the nearly 25 million non-citizens living in the US, both authorized and unauthorized, based on their responses to US Census Bureau surveys.
