We Only Have One Earth.....

....so we need to take care of her. We also need to treat her inhabitants with dignity & respect.

EarthRights International is an organization that does just that.


They document human rights and environmental abuses in countries where few other organizations can safely operate. They expose and publicize earth rights abuses through campaigns, reports and articles.

Organize the human rights and environmental activist communities around earth rights issues. They are at the forefront of the movement to hold corporations accountable for fair human rights, labor, and environmental practices no matter where they do business.

Litigate in U.S. courts on behalf of people around the world whose earth rights have been violated by governments and transnational corporations. For earth rights abuses against villagers in Burma, they brought the landmark lawsuit, Doe v. Unocal Corp.

Teach people about their earth rights and remedies, especially people living under repressive regimes. They train villagers and refugee women to testify at the United Nations and other international agencies. They run the EarthRights Schools for activists in Southeast Asia and in the Amazon.

Advocate for those who have been harmed, and fight for better earth rights protections at every level, from the local to the international.

The earth does not need us to survive, but we absolutely need her to survive. We need to understand that & behave accordingly.

Peace,
Deanna
