About
Public Education: As the U.S. human rights movement grows, so does the need for accessible, strategically-focused human rights education to ignite change. The goal of the USHRN Fighting Injustice through Human Rights Education (FIHRE) program is to do just that. The FIHRE program aims to equip human rights defenders with human rights strategies, tools, and standards to facilitate a coordinated, strategic and holistic growth to the movement. An intensive two and a half day program, the program selection criteria include experience, issue focus, capacity, race/ethnicity, gender, geographic diversity, and program goals. USHRN covers the bulk of participation cost, including flight, lodging, and meals, while participants are expected to cover a small portion of cost, which usually includes local transportation cost in home and host cities. FIHRE Fellows must commit to the full two days of programming as well as all follow-up requirements. The goals of the FIHRE program are to develop and deepen the human rights leadership capacity of USHRN grassroots membership and other social justice movements in the United States by grounding the educational program in an intersectional analysis and an understanding of economic, social, cultural rights (ESCR) and the interdependence of rights; to develop and provide accessible and relevant educational tools and resources for our fellows and members; to provide opportunities to engage in the use of human rights strategies in advancing movement building and advocacy; to provide opportunity and support for the acceleration of key human rights campaigns; to build new and strengthen existing relationships with organizations through FIHRE and over the long-term In 2018, USHRN had one if it's most robust FIHRE years to date, with 3 FIHRE trainings conducted across the United States.

This report offered a comprehensive overview and insight on human rights struggles in the United States during 2017. Written for advocates and activists, the report identified issues and linked them to relevant human rights law. The report also enumerated targeted demands from justice leaders and recommendations from international accountability and governance structures. For each issue area, the report layed out where international human rights law has potentially been violated. The major issue areas of this report included: environmental and climate justice, decent work, healthcare, education, housing, right to marry, reproductive justice and security of person, criminal justice and mass incarceration, voter suppression, immigration policy and privacy.
