International Human Rights Day

Dear Members, 
 

As we approach December 10th, International Human Rights Day, we wanted to take a moment to shed light on the importance of this global observance. 
 

This significant day commemorates the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. The declaration proclaimed the inalienable rights entitled to every human being, irrespective of race, color, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth, or other status. 
 

It serves as a powerful reminder of the need to continuously advocate for principles of equality, justice, and dignity for all individuals worldwide. Human Rights Day symbolizes hope and solidarity, urging us to uphold human rights universally and address the challenges that persist. 
 

Recognizing the progress made in advancing human rights is crucial, yet there remains much work to be done. Each of us is called upon to contribute to a world where human rights are respected and safeguarded in every facet of society. 
 

At CUPE Local 4070, our steadfast commitment remains unwavering in championing human rights, fostering inclusivity, and supporting initiatives that promote diversity and equality. 
 

Thank you for your shared dedication to this noble cause. 
 

Executive Board Local 4070
