It’s the  60th annivesary of the UN Declaration of Human Rights this month (December 10th, to be precise).  Looking round the planet it seems that we still have a way to go to make a reality of the idea that  “equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world”  Still, as the founders of Amnesty pointed out, it’s better to light a candle than curse the darkness. So here is a short list of no-effort-required ways to use the power of your internet connection to fight the good fight.  Now,  flex those social networks and pass it on:

Read the Declaration to see what it’s  all about;   join Amnesty – and support their greetings card campaign;  support Reprieve which fights against the death penalty; pick an issue which really makes your blood boil and find out more about it (personally, mine are Burma and Zimbabwe, so there are a couple of links for starters), and keep an eye on what’s happening at home too

Thanks.  Normal PR-based services will be resumed in the next post…
