              THE UMBHRWG

     UMBHRWG@HOTMAILCOM

The UMB Human Rights Working Group consists of students, faculty, staff and activists from the wider community committed to working for economic, social and political justice locally, within the context of global struggles for human rights.  We work to:  *focus our actions locally and by understanding these activities within the context of  global struggles for human rights.   *Assert that by working within a public university we are committed to a distinct perspective and to a vision of the urban mission of UMB that promotes economic and social justice.  *Base our work on the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (taking into account that its language is sexist).  *Strive for a group process that reflects our commitment to human rights. We seek to:  *foster a climate on campus that links the realization of human rights through action and theory.  *have  an impact on the awareness and dialogue of human rights at UMB through educational events, academic programs, and direct actions.  *As a group within a public institution our commitment is to provide opportunities for individuals and groups to gain and build on their individual and collective power.  We are opposed to:  *racism, sexism, and imperialism.  *any institutional structure that oppresses or  violates human rights.
