STATEMENT BY THE INTERNATIONAL HUMANIST PARTY ABOUT THE WORLD SITUATION
When humanists observe and participate in social, political and economic processes around the world, we cannot but reflect about the relevance to this moment of history of the Statement of the Humanist Movement written by Silo in 1993 . From its reading we can understand to what degree the path of history has confirmed the tendencies that this document explained and to what degree—today more than ever—the union of all humanists of the world has become necessary so that the deepest human aspirations may be turned into reality.

Save the Date (Dec 10)
In state legislatures around the country a systematic campaign to strip millions of Americans of their right to vote is unfolding. The Brennan Center for Justice has recently issued a thorough report on how this attack on one of our most basic civil and human rights is playing out state by state. This is a serious threat, one we must take action to reverse.
On Saturday, December 10th a major mobilization initiated by the NAACP and 1199 SEIU will focus the public’s attention on this urgent issue.Called STAND FOR FREEDOM, we will gather at the NYC offices of the Koch brothers and march to Dag Hammarskjold Plaza across from the United Nations for a rally. The Koch brothers are key funders of the assault on voting rights, and Dec. 10th is UN Human Rights day.
