Greetings
Everyone!
Time to celebrate World Humanitarian
Day... TODAY! We have posted some links describing some of the efforts of the
United Nations and others to #ShareHumanity.
Yesterday: The photo of a
young Syrian boy could be found everywhere in the media. On that same day,
Amnesty International released an investigative report (August 18, 2016) regarding Syrian jails. This link describes the report, a video, and
actions that you can do today. This week Milwaukee, Wisconsin, experienced
another police shooting and a neighborhood that erupted from pain and
discontent. We have posted just a few links regarding the tension in our nearby
city.
Member News: We are very
pleased to share photos from one of our members, Dr. Farideh Kioumehr, who spoke and helped to organize
"Remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki" in Santa Monica on August 9,
2016. Please feel free to share your human rights news and photos with us.

May peace be with you,
