Human Rights Awards Celebration – 2019

This year, the Rights & Democracy Institute will host annual Human Rights Awards in New Hampshire and Vermont to honor local leaders and groups in those states.

The Institute will honor local and national leaders and organizations while celebrating the 71st Anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 

The Institute will also celebrate our third birthday, a new name, and honor the critical work being done locally and around the country to advance human rights.  This year’s awards will be celebrated under our new name — the Rights & Democracy Institute (RDI).  While the name is new, the focus of RDI remains the same: a 501c3 charitable nonprofit, grassroots organization focused on public education and policy research. 

December 10th marks the 71st Anniversary since the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

That is why we’ve chosen this time of year to both recognize the progress we’ve made and recognize the work ahead of us to live up to the promise of this important declaration.
