CUAPB TO SPEAK ON HUMAN RIGHTS PANEL
Human Rights and Racial Justice: Tools for Equality
Friday, September 21
1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Cedar Riverside People's Center
425 20th Ave S, Minneapolis

As a member organization of the US Human Rights network, CUAPB is cosponsoring an event to educate the community about our work with the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD).   The United States government has turned in a report to CERD claiming that racism is no longer a big issue in the US.  The report even cited the movie Crash as an example of this claim!  To counter this ridiculous report, we're part of a national effort by grassroots groups to use statistics and other information in our own report to CERD.  We have a unique contribution to make since we're one of the only grassroots groups in the country to maintain a database on police complaints.  We'll be discussing the innovate use of our database in human rights work. Come learn about how international treaties and tools can be used for our work right here in the community.  Due to the AFSCME strike at the University of Minnesota, the location for the Human Rights event is changing to the Cedar Riverside People's Center, 425 20th Ave S, Minneapolis.  The rest of the details of the event are below.  Hope to see you there!
