SF Gray Panthers Civil Liberties Committee
Civil Liberties Committee
The regional gathering of
Gray Panthers in Berkeley on October 7th provided the opportunity for
the Civil Liberties/Human Rights Committee to distribute packets to those
attending, which included information on the UN Declaration of Human Rights
and a copy of our Resolution that will soon be presented to the SF Board
of Supervisors.
The Committee is encouraged by the positive response and interest in our
work.
For background reading, the book A World Made New—Eleanor Roosevelt and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by Mary Ann Glendon is recommended. It is a scholarly and lively account of Eleanor Roosevelt’s role in bringing the Declaration to fruition.
A national day of protest against police brutality and repression brought out San Francisco community groups and organizations to march Sunday, October 22. Gray Panthers joined in the march and rally to end criminalization of a generation!
