Become a Human Rights Hero

We need a few reliable people for special new team of activists to help win some of the human rights campaigns here at Change.

Here’s the deal: sometimes a petition asking for a simple change is sometimes not enough to win a campaign, but with a little bit more encouragement the petition target might be convinced to do the right thing.

So we’re looking to put together a pack of people – Human Rights Heroes – who can help take things to the next level when a campaign gets stuck. The things we’ll be asking you to do range from posting on a company’s Facebook wall or tweeting at a politician to making a phone call in support of petition.

If you’re interested, then please sign on up (and make sure to check your email to confirm joining).

Yes, it is an email list that you’re signing up to. I promise that we’ll keep the emails to two or fewer per-week and that each email will contain an action that we think has a chance to make a very real difference. In return, I hope that you’ll promise to take action on those emails – it shouldn’t ever take more than 2-3 minutes and normally will take just a few seconds.

Whether the action is fighting for equal rights for everyone, raising the alarm about unjust detentions, advocating that people be given the help they need to work their way out of poverty, or helping workers resist exploitation – we know that sometimes taking just that extra minute or two can make a big difference.

I look forward to working even more closely with you to make a difference.

Sign up to be a Human Rights Hero here.
