Today. Tomorrow. Always.

We are ready to meet this moment. Today. Tomorrow. Always.
 
The 2024 election results promise serious challenges to human rights. These challenges are precisely why The Advocates for Human Rights exists, and why our mission to implement international human rights standards to promote civil society and reinforce the rule of law has never been more vital.
 
The Advocates knows how to document and bring human rights violations to light. From working alongside our partners to counter the radical right’s global pushback against the rights of women and LGBTQIA+ people, to expanding our capacity to defend the rights of immigrants and refugees in Minnesota, we have been building the power we need.
 
We respect the inherent dignity of all human beings no matter a person’s race, ethnicity, immigration status, abilities, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, sex, or age. We will continue to stand up against racism, bigotry, hatred, discrimination, Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, and all forms of gender-based violence.
 
We will continue to protect and promote human rights, both locally and internationally. We will continue to work towards a world where everybody lives with dignity, freedom, justice, equality, and peace; and where every person plays a part in ensuring human rights for all.
 
But we need your help. It will take all of us, working together, to protect the human rights of those most at risk among us.
 
 Together we will fight to

  • stop the worst threats to the immigration system: ending protections and lawful pathways, stripping constitutional and humanitarian protections, expanding detention and deportation operations,
  • protect women’s rights to healthcare, bodily autonomy, and freedom from violence, and
  • protect the rights of members of the LGBTQIA+ community, especially transgender people.
     

Join us as we prepare for the challenges ahead. Get involved by volunteering, supporting our work, and getting informed.
