Students: Be Human Rights Monitors
Apr 21st, 2009 by Danielle Fox
We invite students to join this joint action to mobilize human rights advocates worldwide to petition the UN and the African Union to send human rights monitors to Zimbabwe. The PHR Student Program is excited to provide a mini-action pack (pdf) to easily host a photo-petition table on your campus.
Forward the online petition to your chapter listserve and to listserves of relevant student groups:
Setup a table on your campus or organize a clipboard drive to collect signatures:
- Poster for Advertising your Table Action (Word doc format)
- “I am a human rights monitor for ZImbabwe” signs for people to hold in the photos (in various languages)
- Tabling Tips
- Background Information: learn more about the current crisis in Zimbabwe
- See PHR’s emergency report, Health in Ruins: PHR Reports on the Man-Made Health Crisis in Zimbabwe
- Read AI’s most recent report, Zimbabwe: A trail of violence after the ballot pdf
You will also need a digital camera and an internet connection to upload your photos to the website.
