The Opportunity Agenda

• Opinion Research on Human Rights: This research project examined the opinion of three key audiences on human rights in the U.S. as applied to social justice issues: the American public, social justice advocates not currently using the human rights approach, and journalists who regularly cover social issues.

• Talking Points
  • Health as a Human Right: Provides advice on talking broadly about creating a health care system that works for everyone.
  • Racial Economic Disparities: Designed primarily for communications between experts of color and policymakers, as well as "opinion leaders."
  • Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Provides advice on talking to broad audiences on human rights at home, in light of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Universal Periodic Review

The U.N.’s first Universal Periodic Review of the U.S., scheduled to take place December 2010, offers an important opportunity both to measure how the U.S. is meeting its human rights obligations and to continue pressuring the government to live up to those obligations.
