A national effort is underway to prepare for a review of the United States by the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. We have an opportunity to hold United States accountable for its International Treaty Obligations to Eliminate All Forms of Racial Discrimination

Join us on September 21 st to:

· hear how advocates can inform the UN CERD Committee about racial discrimination in the U.S.; and

· learn how to use human rights treaties, and specifically the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD), in local grassroots advocacy and other work .

For more information on the CERD, go to http://www.ohchr.org/english/law/cerd.htm
