NEW PUBLICATION!
August 20, 2008 - NESRI and NHeLP release Human Right to Health Care: Nominees' Plans Lag Behind Public Demands. This human rights assessment provides a detailed review of the nominees' health care plans. Press Release >>>
Today in the US, the poor are increasingly denied resources for survival, and the middle class struggles ever more to meet basic needs. Under human rights standards, these growing trends represent violations for which the government is directly accountable. NESRI works with the social justice community to develop strategies, models and structures for effectively using international economic and social rights standards in US advocacy. Human rights offer a conceptual and practical framework for the social justice community to come together and build a movement to ensure freedom, security and dignity for all people.
