With the help of the Mainstream Media Project, The Opportunity Agenda has been leading a national radio campaign to promote domestic human rights voices and a pro-human rights agenda in anticipation of the upcoming transition in Washington. Sixteen leading domestic human rights voices have joined the campaign. Their experiences cover a broad scope of human rights work undertaken throughout our country but their message is clear and unified, echoing the Universal Declaration’s call to afford all members of the human family dignity, fairness, and opportunity.
A sample of the interviews include Margaret Huang, executive director of Rights Working Group, who was interviewed today on New York station WBAI’s "Talk Back." An archive of the show will be available here. For listeners in the Bay Area and Boulder, CO, Jamil Dakwar, director of the Human Rights Program with the ACLU was on "Your Call," produced by KALW Radio. The program archive will be available here. Information about all the interviews in this radio program will be posted on our blog as they become available.
The effort resulted in 69 radio interviews totaling under 35 hours of interview time. A short compilation of some of the interviews is available below. A complete list of interviews is also available (PDF).
