Join Partnership for the Public Good for the 2022 Community Agenda Rollout event, where they will announce the policy planks making up the 2022 platform.
This year’s community agenda process was our most competitive year yet, with 25 policy proposals! Many of you attended the agenda vote back in November and voted for your favorite proposals. Now it’s time to publicly release the top (eleven!) priorities for this year. Join PPG, the winning partners, and supporting elected officials for the public release!
On January 25th, a group of organizations under the banner Climate Can’t Wait 2022 are coming together to demand that the state legislature and governor prioritize climate in the 2022 budget and legislative session. To send this message, hundreds of New Yorkers will gather in Albany to ensure the legislature hears our message: climate can’t wait!
If you are arriving yourself, please meet us at the underground concourse at 11:00 a.m. Otherwise, we will be coordinating transportation and buses will arrive around 10:30 a.m. Lunch will also be provided.
Please indicate your transit needs on the form! Please be aware that we are requiring vaccines and masks for anyone who we are coordinating transportation for.
Climate Can’t Wait 2022 includes the following groups and for a full list of the Climate Can’t Wait Policy Package, click here.
Human Rights Day is observed every year on 10 December — the day the United Nations General Assembly adopted, in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The UDHR is a milestone document, which proclaims the inalienable rights that everyone is entitled to as a human being – regardless of race, color, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Available in more than 500 languages, it is the most translated document in the world.
2021 Theme: EQUALITY – Reducing inequalities, advancing human rights
This year’s Human Rights Day theme relates to ‘Equality’ and Article 1 of the UDHR – “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.”
The principles of equality and non-discrimination are at the heart of human rights. Equality is aligned with the 2030 Agenda and with the UN approach set out in the document Shared Framework on Leaving No One Behind: Equality and Non-Discrimination at the Heart of Sustainable Development. This includes addressing and finding solutions for deep-rooted forms of discrimination that have affected the most vulnerable people in societies, including women and girls, indigenous peoples, people of African descent, LGBTI people, migrants and people with disabilities, among others.
Equality, inclusion and non-discrimination, in other words – a human rights-based approach to development – is the best way to reduce inequalities and resume our path towards realizing the 2030 Agenda.
