Will YOU blog/vid/pod on Dec 10th for Human Rights?

If you’re a blogger, podcaster, or videomaker, you know how much freedom you experience- I’m sure after Thanksgiving you’ve had a chance to be grateful for everything you have… which includes the power to make a difference online in social media for change.

December 10th, next Wednesday, is the big day.

Hundreds of bloggers, podcasters, and video producers will create and post something about Human Rights day on December 10th.

Are you in?

If so, please comment on this post to express your commitment!

It’ll take just a few minutes of your time.  All you have to do on December 10th is:

  1. Say in a few words (or if you want, a lot of words) on your blog, podcast, or video, that
    you support Human Rights Day
  2. Link to this site
  3. Urge people to sign the petition

That’s it!

If you’re in, please comment below with your commitment. We can’t do it without you!

And once you comment your commitment, please tweet about this to your blogging/podcasting/videomaking friends!

Let’s make a big impact to stop slavery, torture, and oppression!

    And yeah, I will be one of those people blogging and videoing on dec 10th for human rights!

  2. I just read the book “The Road of Lost Innocence” by Somaly Mam and will be blogging on December 10 about human rights. It is my hope that other bloggers will join in, choose a cause they’re passionate about, and blog/vlog/podcast about it.

    Let’s make a difference!

    Count me in, Brian. We need to take a little time off from the regular agenda and remind ourselves that so many people are denied the basic freedoms that some of us take for granted.

  4. Human rights? You know I’m down.

  6. Sounds great!! Are there any embed-able widgets for this site? Might help spread the news. :) I’d be happy to embed something on my company’s site. (My personal site has been left alone for a few months…lol)

  7. The patriot act took our rights.

  8. An excellent cause and one I’m committed to supporting. Thanks @remarkablogger for bringing this to my attention. As an American it’s sometimes easy to forget that others in this world do not experience the same freedoms that we do.

    Blog on!

    Joshua: there aren’t any live widgets, but there are some logos you can put on your blog with a link at http://www.onedayforhumanrights.com/?cat=13 – for example, mine at http://briancartersocialmedia.blogspot.com/ says “I tweet for Human Rights”

  49. Rx Jones says:

    Its so important to remember that justice, liberty and freedoms must constantly be fought for. They are not automatic. Like weeds in a garden, injustice will grow on its own if not attended to.

    I’m thankful of the progress our species has made but so much has to be done and so much isn’t!
