There’s
no better time to rock the vote for human rights than now!
Exercise
the universal right to free and fair elections.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the declaration
that enshrines human rights for all people and all nations – the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Under Article 21 of the
UDHR, everyone has the right to participate in government and open
elections. As a human rights advocate, you understand just how
important it is to protect that right. Our allies at Rock
the Vote have made it easy to exercise that right – register
to vote.
In many countries without free and fair elections,
government officials are not held accountable and human rights are
regularly denied. Harness your power to make human rights a reality for
all people. When you raise your voice with other concerned citizens,
your government is able to hear about important issues like:
- freeing prisoners of conscience
- stopping violence against women
- abolishing the death penalty
- ensuring human rights for all people
