Disability Rights in Action: Nothing About Us Without Us

DESCRIPTION

The U.S. has not yet ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and there is still much work to be done to ensure these rights are protected and upheld within the U.S.

In recognition of Human Rights Day, join us for this special program to hear from experts and advocates about disability rights and ensuring they remain an integral part of the human rights discussion.

This event is co-hosted by the UNA Human Rights Affinity Group.
