Town Hall Meetings on Human Rights |
An important goal of this anniversary campaign is to invigorate the human rights movement by forging lasting new partnerships and long-term collaborations. Town Hall Meetings are not meant to end the effort. They are intended to be launching points for initiatives strategically useful to the achievement of campaign goals.
The great work that this anniversary can and should inspire will be the activity of years into the next century. Town Hall Meetings will provide a place to raise community conversation to a level where constituencies can coalesce, issues can pierce official negligence and structures can be proposed with lasting promise of new leadership and cooperation.
The training in organizing and media outreach will also leave behind a legacy of enhanced skills and contacts for participating organizations and their communications teams. For thousands of Town Hall Meeting participants new knowledge and ideas, access to information and opportunities to exert leadership will be benefits of what promise to be stimulating, challenging and inspiring events.
