#Acceptmyrecommendation We are getting towards the time for the US to determine which recommendations it will accept from the UN Human Rights Universal Process ...Review. If you have a few minutes, listen to some of the recommendations by the various countries. But to sum it up, a lot of the recommendations that the US got are covered by the UN treaties that the US needs to ratify, which includes: Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) Convention on the Rights of the Child Convention against Enforced Disappearance Mine Ban Treaty Convention on Cluster Munitions Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture And although we signed the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD), we obviously aren’t following that. If we did, we’d be in a different situation. And we really need to end the death penalty. Our leadership needs to be held accountable to create and uphold laws that preserve and protect our rights. And participating in these treaties help us do that. This can start locally. We need to follow these treaties in our communities and that will help influence and pressure Congress to change and adopt these treaties. This all protects us. We have recourse through the UN if we have poor leadership. Contact your representative and encourage them to stand up for change or make change here. We so need it. Alquimia Global Roxana Damas

"A staggering 97 residents of Cook County died by suicide last year. Most of them were men. The median age range was 34. Forty percent of the deaths involved the use of guns and occurred in areas that endured high levels of violence and drug overdoses."

We have had an incredibly fast response from our sponsors and are putting together some emergency relief events next week in the hardest hit areas of Texas.
