8th Annual Rochester International Human Rights Day Activities with the Rochester area community committing ourselves to the 30 Articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as we call for their implementation here and elsewhere
Article 25(1) states that "Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including medical care"
Health Care for All: A Human Right in the US?
The number of uninsured in our area is increasing daily (over 46 million in the US);
The cost of care is nearly twice that of other industrialized countries per capita per year;
Businesses, such as Toyota, are planning to relocate to Canada to avoid employer costs of health insurance
The Interfaith Health Care Coalition, a group focused on working with and for New Yorkers to press for universal health care in New York State, is determined to overturn these statistics.
Article 23(4) states that "Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests."
Workers at the Crowne Plaza Hotel deserve a fair and free process to form a union. These rights apply to all working people in the U.S., including the employees of the Crowne Plaza Hotel who are in the fight of their lives as they demand the right to form a union. They deserve a fair and free process to do that.
