Idealists United welcomes the creation of humanrights.gov and applauds the Obama Administration for taking the initiative to shine a spotlight on Human Rights. The creation of this United States government sponsored website solely dedicated to Human Rights is an amazing step towards Idealists United’s goal of mainstreaming Human Rights education, awareness and action. It is actions like this that reinforces the work Idealists United is doing and gives us hope that one day Human Rights will no longer be an afterthought.
While we still have a lot of work to do and the creation of this one government sponsored website is still just a small step forward, it is a step forward. Idealists United believes through a truly united Human Rights movement, we will continue to see progress like this. And through our passion, action and persistence we will one day live in a society which views Human Rights promotion, protection and defense as a priority. But until that day comes, we must push on.
