Human Rights Heroes
Need a jolt of inspiration? Check out the profile of Maria Foscarinis, Eric Tars, and the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty in the current issue of Human Rights, the publication of the American Bar Association’s Section of Civil Rights and Social Justice. With legal savvy, boundless energy, and determined optimism, these Human Rights Heroes work — often behind the scenes — to make a difference for their clients while creating a vibrant and effective model for other domestic human rights advocates.
While you’re at it, take a look at the entire issue of this current magazine, which focuses on economic justice. Articles examine he UDHR, justiciability issues, and more. It’s great to see the ABA integrating human rights into its analyses of economic justice issues — in no small part due to the work of Foscarinis and Tars.
