Migration Is a Human Right December Week of Action
Celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
28th Posada Sin Fronteras at the U.S.-Mexico border AFSC San Diego
Everyone deserves to live in safety and peace—no matter where they were born or where they reside.
Migration is a human right, and we need laws and policies that reflect this. On December 10th (International Human Rights Day) through December 18th (International Migrants Day), AFSC and partners will host actions across the country to demand that the right to migrate be respected. We’ll hold vigils, pack food bags, and much more. Join us as we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and recognize the rights of all migrants to be treated with dignity and respect.
Please continue to check this page as more events are being added every day.
