What Sets All People Thriving’s Human Rights Advocacy 101 Training Apart?

Empowerment-Based Advocacy

We’re dedicated to helping human rights advocates learn best practices for empowerment-based human rights advocacy strategies that lift all people up – not tear others down. We support the development of “win-win” human-centered policies, laws and systems that safeguard individual freedom and advance civil and social equality and equity for all people. 

Human Centered Policy Check

We recognize that we’re not fighting against individuals or groups. Rather, we’re working to eradicate oppression in all its forms.  Our Human Centered Policy Check helps people quickly analyze policies, laws and systems to identify, end, and prevent systemic barriers and policy-based oppression. This tool can be applied to the institutions, policies, laws, systems, and concepts we engage with; It helps to ensure businesses, organizations and governments of all sizes are upholding basic human rights, recognizing basic human needs, and are accessible to and inclusive of all people.

Mission and Vision Focused

As a program of All People Thriving, Human Rights Advocacy 101’s mission is to empower individuals, advocates, voters, policy-makers, and elected officials to create communities where all people are thriving at their own unique highest and fullest potential – free from oppression. Ultimately, we envision a world where 100% of people feel the laws, policies and systems they interact with safeguard their human rights, ensure access to their basic human needs, and are fully accessible and inclusive.
