December is Universal Human Rights Month!
A time to reflect on the fundamental freedoms and rights that belong to every person. This observance commemorates the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) by the United Nations General Assembly. On December 10th, 1948, a landmark document affirming the principles of dignity, equality, and justice for all.
As we honor this month, let's reaffirm our commitment to promoting inclusion, advocating for fairness, and ensuring that every individual is treated with respect, regardless of background. The UDHR reminds us that human rights are universal and essential to building a just and equitable world. "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." -- UDHR
KNOW YOUR RESOURCES, KNOW YOUR RIGHTS is a vital initiative that connects individuals with tools and resources to gain access to essential services. From legal assistance and health care to food and nutrition support, New York State's "Know Your Rights" services will assist with navigating challenges and protecting families.
