Democrats have utterly failed the electorate.
Jimmy Carter signed the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights but not a single thing has been done with it by Democrats.
The ICESCR provides a simple step-by-step, yet holistic, approach to “civil rights” aka Human Rights.
Until the Party people recognize and realize the need for ratifying ICESCR, they will always be out of touch.

Tell #congress to #RatifyICESCR, while you are at it. Take away the incentives for #crime by providing the basic #humanrights including #EconomicSocialAndCulturalRights

@violetmadder @LetsRoc @faab64 @Miro_Collas @palestine
based on my experience advocating for #humanrights, i can concur that there has been no follow through.
time to hold congress accountable

Join the conversation!
Speaking on behalf of UN chief António Guterres, Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed emphasized that universal health coverage will correct a “human rights tragedy on a massive scale”, with billions currently unable to access essential health services.

Booyah, now let's get the GOP and DNC to agree :D
If we can get them to finally #RatifyICESCR, then a lot of our human rights will become the supreme law of the land, through international treaty.

I’m a huge fan of advocating that the American people take back their power by writing to their congresspeople demanding that they take action to ratify the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR).
For as long as we keep twiddling our thumbs on ratifying ICESCR, we will constantly be fighting these same political battles over and over until it eventually, through gross negligence, spills out into civil war.

oligarchy?
nay, sir, this is a duopoly of ochlocracy

Write to your #representatives and tell them that you demand that we #RatifyICESCR.
Demand your #humanrights to #socialsecurity and #healthcare (including #contraception and #abortion) by demanding that our “leaders” vote to ratify the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights!
-
That’s the double standard of America - we call out everyone else for #humanrights violations but fail to ratify international human rights laws that would require the US to solve problems that everyone has.

@naefool likewise!
in my humble, but considerable, opinion we ought to focus on a mass education campaign around the theory behind equal rights for all
Einstein and Freud exchanged letters making it clear that a lack of equal rights and the lack of an effective international court for conflict resolution were the key causes of war
the fight to educate others about human rights is the fight against war

I’m not here to talk about Trump.
I’m here to talk about human rights and how to apply the #UNUDHR, today, and to demand that the USA #RatifyICESCR.
It all starts with #DignityForAll - especially your enemies...
Unless you think Human Rights standards don’t apply to you?
edit: be forewarned, if you drop any more Vote Blue MAGA at me, i’ll block you

@PattyHanson ohh no, care to learn more? click _here_ lol
so, #UNUDHR is “United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights”
#RatifyICESCR is “Ratify the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights”
ICESCR is a treaty that would require us to write domestic laws that enshrine a dozen or so of UNUDHR human rights. Think: clean water, food, shelter, clothing, medical care, etc. are a right for everyone, in accordance with what a country can afford, w/ international help.

@PattyHanson the best weapon that we have to fight the fascists and the far-right (and far-left, for that matter) is to #RatifyICESCR and live the #UNUDHR

@aardvark @tofugolem @SonofaGeorge @Mary625 @JenMorency @neilasaurus
> pretending that votes don’t matter sounds like surrender
> It matters whether full-on fascists gain groundhow about you #VoteBlue types go Blue MAGA us up some #RatifyICESCR instead of wasting everyone’s time complaining about Trump?
anything less is a half measure and no longer worth serious consideration

@CptSuperlative @ThatMan @soc_i_ety @RickiTarr
> why bother with a revolution anyway? Just wait for everything to blow up and rebuild from scratch. Not trying to be snarky. Serious question.
“Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,”

Demand that we #RatifyICESCR if you really want to make a difference.
-
@tofugolem @SonofaGeorge @Mary625 @aardvark @JenMorency @neilasaurus
What you fail to recognize is that we already practically live in a fascist state where vast numbers of people would rather die than continue to be a part of.
#RatifyICESCR if you really want to defeat fascism.

please boost, for the sake of humanity and the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights

@benroyce The only single issue worth fighting for is to #RatifyICESCR and to fully embrace the #UNUDHR .
The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights is my single issue and I will talk about it until death, because it covers all possible issues of importance to the human condition.
Call me a troll farmer if you want, but I’ll never vote Blue or Red or for any candidate until they advocate publicly that we #RatifyICESCR

> Humans don't *have* to rabidly chase their own self-interest to the exclusion of other people. They can collaborate for mutual benefit, and usually do when they're given the opportunity.
Arguably, we’ve already committed to that. We just have to hold ourselves to that commitment.
The General Assembly,
Proclaims this Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nationshttps://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights

@HeavenlyPossum @wendinoakland @breadandcircuses
nope! it’s human rights. capitalism or not!
Article 22
Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international co-operation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality.

@WillA763 @memphismary @RickiTarr
imho, the fight to #RatifyICESCR is the only fight worth fighting right now.
if you would love to see that day, do the only thing that you really need to do: learn the #UNUDHR and teach it to everyone that you meet.
no cost is the goal, but we’ve got to start with a universal healthcare plan. anything less is a crime against humanity
-
@memphismary @WillA763 @RickiTarr
universal healthcare is a solution
if we take to time to reorganize social security, civil rights, and treasury under one roof, then all sides ought to be happy: cost savings, greater effectiveness, and better oversight
-
universal healthcare is a solution: #RatifyICESCR
Article 25 #UNUDHR
Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

@muiiio @mattblaze @heidilifeldman
it is foolish to think that this will be the last battle. cut off the face, and another will grow.
fight the core human rights problem and #RatifyICESCR , so that demogogues won’t have as many dissatisfied people to prey upon.
-
Mary, apologies for my beating a horse, heh, as you’ve probably seen me say things like this over and over, but preach #UNUDHR and start advocating that we #RatifyICESCR !
The end result of ratifying ICESCR is that we will then be required by international law to write a domestic law that requires the government to provide housing to those that cannot provide for themselves, due to no fault of their own
We treat criminals better than we treat veterans sometimes, sick

streuth.
this is what the UN General Assembly was talking about in 1948 when they said:
“Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,”
