Equality is "societal suicide"?

URGENT: Late on Friday, Speaker John Boehner announced that the House Republican leadership will take the steps necessary to defend DOMA in court, a move which could result in an exorbitant waste of time and resources. It's simply unconscionable. Help us fight back now »

We've sent 129,000 letters to Congress demanding a repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act. But right-wing extremists are outraged – and House Republicans are jumping in to defend the law. Help win this fight. Join HRC with an emergency gift. "Bordering on treason."  "An act of societal suicide."  "Fitting if it were in the Middle East in one of those dictatorships." When it comes to President Obama's courageous stance against DOMA, the extreme right hasn't been shy about how they feel. One Congressman is even calling for the impeachment of the President. It's clear our victory has stirred a right-wing hornets' nest. On Friday, House Republican leaders announced a plan to defend the hateful law in court – and waste precious time and resources doing so! All this from lawmakers who promised to focus on jobs and the economy. We've stood up to these ugly attacks before. And we know the next few days and weeks will be critical. We can't stand by and let House Republican leaders use LGBT families as a political pawn – in this moment or in the future. And we must continue urging President Obama to support full marriage equality while we fight for marriage everywhere – from Maryland to Delaware to New Hampshire. I hope we can count on your support now. Now is the time to act. Join HRC with an urgent gift to fight DOMA and stand up for equality. Less than two months after taking charge in the House, right-wing lawmakers have abandoned promises to focus on making things better for all Americans, and instead are attacking LGBT couples with newfound energy. This isn't about one law or one special counsel. It's about whether our nation becomes stronger and more equal, or falls back on old prejudice and hate. So we've got to respond on multiple fronts: Keep fighting DOMA in Congress – HRC supporters like you have sent over 129,000 letters to lawmakers in the last ten days, showing that Americans oppose this hateful law. Stand up for marriage equality across America, working hand-in-hand with local groups to promote civil unions and marriage in places like Colorado, Delaware, Maryland, Hawaii, Illinois, Rhode Island, and New York – and to block attempts to go backward in states like New Hampshire or Iowa. Continue to make the case for supporting full marriage equality to the President. President Obama showed what a great ally he is last month – and we're working to move him towards full-throated support for full marriage equality that will inspire a nation. Attempt to block every attack on equality, like the perennial effort to write discrimination into the Constitution of the United States by amending it to prohibit marriage for gay and lesbian couples. We're moving forward every day – but every day we're up against new volleys of hatred. Herman Cain, a former CEO and likely 2012 presidential candidate, thinks the President's courageous decision was bordering on treasonous. Conservative activist Alan Caruba called it an act of "societal suicide" in a column titled, "America's Gay White House." And it was Tony Perkins, head of the powerful Family Research Council, who had the gall to compare President Obama's actions to those of brutal Middle East dictators – just because the President believes all married couples should get benefits like Social Security survivorship, joint tax filing, and family and medical leave. Don't let voices like these shout down the fair-minded majority of the American people. Join HRC with a gift to our emergency campaign now. In the civil rights battle of our generation, we can never afford to take a step backward. That's even truer at moments like this. Momentum is on our side – and we've got to seize this opportunity.

My birth at the end of July 1967 makes me a child of the naksa, or setback, as the Arab defeat during the June 1967 war with Israel is euphemistically known in Arabic. My parents' generation grew up high on the Arab nationalism that Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser brandished in the 1950s. But we "Children of the Naksa", hemmed in by humiliation, have spent so much of our lives uncomfortably stepping into pride's large, empty shoes.

But here now finally are our children – Generation Facebook – kicking aside the burden of history, determined to show us just how easy it is to tell the dictator it's time to go.

Women of Egypt

Women of Egypt.

For everyone who has been asking where the women of Egypt are! I´m trying to compile all the photos with Egyptian women in them.

A homage to all those women out there fighting, and whose voices and faces are hidden from the public eye!

p.s. few of these photos were compiled by me, the rest were sent by people from all over after I published the album! I´m so grateful for everyone who is sending me photos and links, tagging me..etc.

p.s. 2 I´m trying to confirm that all of these photos are from Egypt, if I publish any by mistake, forgive me! All revolutions are one in the end!

If you have photos of women during the Egyptian revolution, please send me a link, or a message! The album seems to be picking up quite fast! Let´s pay these women and the people of Egypt the tribute they deserve for inspiring all of us!

Women of Egypt by Leil-Zahra Mortada

Embassy of Egypt, this IS an emergency!

The crackdown on freedoms is intensifying across Egypt as security forces use tear gas, water cannons, live rounds and lethal force against protesters. Pick up the phone and help us call for human rights to be respected in Egypt!

Thirty years of repression is spilling out onto the streets of Egypt in the forms of tear-gas, blood and bitter demonstrations. For four days, Egyptian protestors have suffered at the hands of President Mubarak's security forces. At least 14 protestors have been killed and scores more have been injured. The crackdown on freedoms is intensifying as authorities have cut all Internet and phone communications. There's no telling how long the violence will continue or how many people will suffer in the end. The number one request we're hearing from our fellow Egyptian activists is to have their voices heard at various Egyptian embassies and consulates. We intend to do all we can to make that happen, but Egyptian authorities are making it very difficult. Our emails are not getting through and it will take far too long for our letters to reach anyone who can make a difference. That is why we're asking you to place an urgent call to the Egyptian embassy (202) 895-5400 and dial "1" to speak to a real person about the State of Emergency in Egypt. Ask the person who answers the call to pass on this important message – and don't take "no" for an answer: "Please urge the Egyptian government to respect human rights, rein in the security forces, and restore access to all communications in Egypt." Help us make the Egyptian embassy's phone ring off the hook! Then tell us how your call went. Three decades of living under the harsh and oppressive State of Emergency is unacceptable. The people of Egypt deserve to have their voices heard and to organize peacefully. They deserve human rights. Phone calls are best. But you can also support human rights in Egypt by making a gift to Amnesty International today so that we can strengthen our efforts to monitor and quickly respond to dangerous situations such as these whenever they arise. Thank you for keeping watch over human rights in Egypt. We will continue to keep you informed. Geoffrey Mock Country Specialist, Egypt Amnesty International USA P.S.

Murder in Uganda -- Stop U.S. pastors from exporting bigotry

Dear Stephanie, Stop exporting hate. Stand with HRC's Religion and Faith program. Tell American right-wingers to stop hateful proselytizing in Africa. Sign our petition now. U.S. pastors are exporting bigotry to Uganda, with brutal results. This is an issue close to my heart, because I've spent over a decade working for equality as a lay leader in my own church, and now, as acting director of HRC's Religion and Faith program – which helps religious leaders of all stripes speak out for equality and fight back when hatred is promoted in the name of religion. On Thursday, that perversion of faith cost Ugandan gay rights advocate David Kato his life. He was bludgeoned to death in his home after his name was among those listed in an anti-gay magazine, under the headline "Hang them!" Since at least 2009, radical U.S. Christian missionaries have added anti-gay conferences and workshops in Uganda to their anti-gay efforts in the U.S. – and now they're beginning to ordain ministers and build churches across East Africa focused almost entirely on preaching against homosexuality. These American extremists didn't call for David's death. But they created a climate of hate that breeds violence – and they must stop and acknowledge they were wrong. "Stop Exporting Hate." Sign our petition to Carl Ellis Jenkins, Lou Engle, and Scott Lively. We'll deliver your signature to three men who have gone out of their way to promote hatred: Scott Lively of Massachusetts held an anti-gay conference in Uganda with two other U.S. pastors. A few months later, a bill was introduced in Uganda that would make homosexuality punishable by death. Lou Engle, a Missouri preacher whose rallies draw tens of thousands in the U.S., spoke at a rally in Uganda this year that focused on praying for the bill's passage. (Engle claims not to support some parts of the bill, but internal documents show he came to speak about "the threat of homosexuality," and defend the Ugandan government's efforts to "curb the growth of the vice using the law.") And Carl Ellis Jenkins of Georgia is presiding over a group that's opening 50 new churches in Uganda to "help clean up bad morals, including homosexuality" according to his staff. They have been stirring up hostility in a country where homosexuality is already illegal, violent attacks are common, rape is used to 'cure' people of their sexual orientation – and a shocking law has been proposed that would make homosexuality punishable by life imprisonment or even death. And they're in lockstep with some of the largest and wealthiest right-wing groups in the U.S. When the U.S. Congress considered a resolution denouncing the grotesque Ugandan death-penalty-for-gays bill, the extreme-right Family Research Council – now classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center – spent $25,000 lobbying to stop the resolution from passing. Religion should never be used to spread hate. These men do not speak for me or the millions of diverse religious people who support equality not in spite of our faith, but because of it That's what our Religion and Faith program is all about: helping people of faith from all different traditions speak out so we can reclaim the core religious values we hold dear in America. At the heart of every religious tradition is love of humanity and love of creator – not hatred for our neighbors. Creating a climate of hate runs contrary to the very idea of faith – but that's exactly what the right wing in America is doing. Tell missionaries and radical hate groups: "Stop exporting hate." Whether or not we're people of faith, we cannot stay silent or stand idly by while a radical minority pushes a hateful agenda in God's name. Please stand with us and speak out today.

World Report 2011: Your Global Guide to Human Rights

January 25, 2011 Follow us on

The World Report 2011 Launch Essential Human Rights Investigations in 90 Countries The Human Rights Watch 21st annual World Report summarizes human rights conditions in more than 90 countries and territories worldwide. It reflects extensive investigative work undertaken in 2010 by Human Rights Watch staff, usually in close partnership with domestic human rights activists. The World Report 2011 also features three essays on worldwide trends: The tendency for governments to “soft talk” rights abusers rather than pressuring them to change, the use of schools as battlegrounds, and the roles of nongovernmental organizations in a changing media landscape. On our website you can browse the World Report 2011 chapters by country, purchase a bound copy of the edition, or download the full pdf.   Check out the World Report 2011 online » Photo: © 2010 Moises Saman/Magnum for Human Rights Watch A Facade of Action The Misuse of Dialogue and Cooperation With Rights Abusers By Kenneth Roth  Executive Director In last year's World Report, Human Rights Watch highlighted the intensifying attacks by abusive governments on human rights defenders, organizations, and institutions. This year we address the flip side of the problem – the failure of the expected champions of human rights to respond to the problem, defend those people and organizations struggling for human rights, and stand up firmly against abusive governments. There is often a degree of rationality in a government's decision to violate human rights. The government might fear that permitting greater freedom would encourage people to join together in voicing discontent and thus jeopardize its grip on power. Or abusive leaders might worry that devoting resources to the impoverished would compromise their ability to enrich themselves and their cronies. International pressure can change that calculus. Whether exposing or condemning abuses, conditioning access to military aid or budgetary support on ending them, imposing targeted sanctions on individual abusers, or even calling for prosecution and punishment of those responsible, public pressure raises the cost of violating human rights. It discourages further oppression, signaling that violations cannot continue cost-free.   Discover which leaders, governments are abandoning pubic pressure » Photo: © 2010 Reuters Podcasts   Rights Watch Radio With Anne Garrels The state of human rights around the world 2010 in Photos 2010 in Photos Read the World report 2011 on our new iPad app. It's free at Apple's App Store, and you can rate it in iTunes.

Prosecute Haiti's Duvalier | Violence in Tunisia

Having trouble viewing this email? Click here. January 20, 2011 Follow us on

Prosecute Haiti's Duvalier Thousands Killed and Tortured Under Duvalier and His Tonton Macoutes Haiti’s former dictator Jean‑Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier should be arrested and prosecuted for grave human rights violations, in addition to the corruption charges that are already being considered by local authorities. On Sunday, Duvalier made a surprise return to Haiti from France, where he has lived in exile since 1986. Under Duvalier and his Tonton Macoutes, a paramilitary group, thousands of Haitians were killed and tortured, and hundreds of thousands more fled into exile. Action to hold him accountable is long overdue. Jean-Claude Duvalier took power in Haiti in 1971, following the death of his father, François "Papa Doc" Duvalier. Torture and murder were commonplace under both father and son. Both Duvaliers stunted civil society with harsh repression of any signs of independence by political parties, trade unions, and the press. The corruption inquiry is a good first step. But Duvalier needs to be held accountable for his most atrocious crimes – the death and torture of thousands of Haitians. Read more » Photo: © 2011 Reuters Tunisia: Free Nonviolent Prisoners Interim Government Should Investigate Protester Deaths, Police Abuse  After last week’s ouster of President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, Tunisia’s government remains in flux. To reassure Tunisians that real change is coming after decades of authoritarian rule, the interim government should stop using unjustifiable force against protesters, hold officers who unlawfully killed demonstrators accountable, and free those imprisoned for nonviolent speech or politics. More than 100 people have died since anti-government protests began in mid-December. Many were killed by police firing into crowds, said a statement by Navi Pillay, UN high commissioner for human rights. Police have beaten and arrested scores of demonstrators. Although many have been released, the whereabouts of some remain unknown. If the interim government fails to move quickly to investigate these incidents and to hold perpetrators accountable, the international community should initiate its own inquiry. Since Ben Ali seized power in 1987, Tunisian authorities have tolerated little dissent. Human Rights Watch has documented how plainclothes police often subjected activists, independent journalists, and those who spoke out against the government to arrest, beatings, harassment, surveillance, and sometimes torture. The interim government can signal its willingness to embrace the changes Tunisia’s citizens are demanding by ending the bloody repression and allowing citizens to exercise their rights.   Read more » Photo: © 2011 Reuters Most Popular Headlines China: US Should Recognize Critics of Chinese Government, Raise Deteriorating Rights Environment It is crucial that the Obama administration publicly demonstrate during this visit - which should not be subject to the same constraints as last year's meeting in China - its concerns about freedom of expression, the rule of law, and about political prisoners. If the President fails to do so, it will have let the Chinese government off the hook, and undermined one of its own stated goals. Nepal: Broaden Citizenship Provisions If these provisions on citizenship are passed into law, Nepal may have a crisis of statelessness on its hands. Instead of leveling up to ensure fair and equal access to citizenship for children born in Nepal, this proposal would level down to make acquiring citizenship difficult for many more children. Yemen: Halt Pending Execution of Child Offender The Yemeni government should uphold its own laws banning the execution of individuals who committed crimes as children. Samum may be facing imminent execution simply for the lack of a birth certificate. Editor's Picks Kosovo: EU Mission Needs Special Prosecutor to Investigate KLA The EU mission in Kosovo will face great obstacles to conducting a credible investigation into alleged crimes by former leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army. It is crucial to have an independent senior prosecutor, an effective witness protection program - including the ability to relocate witnesses outside the Balkans - and the security required for such a delicate investigation. United Nations: Senegal Must Prosecute or Extradite Hissène Habré The United Nations has stood up for Habre's thousands of victims who have been seeking justice from Senegal for 20 years. President Wade can't simply ‘get rid' of the case; he has a legal obligation to ensure that Habré faces justice. France: Police Custody Reform Falls Short  If France is serious about protecting suspects, its police custody procedures need a major overhaul.

Special offer: $20 discounted membership

On Tuesday, we set a new, ambitious goal: 3,000 first-time members for 2011. Now, we're so close to meeting it that we've decided to extend our 2011 membership deadline until MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. Conservatives now control more state legislative seats than at any other time since the Hoover administration – and right-wing groups are more emboldened than ever before. If you believe marriage equality is worth fighting for – and that advancing equality in Congress is worth the commitment it will take – this is your LAST CHANCE to join thousands of other new HRC members before our midnight deadline. And as added incentive, we're making a special offer only available today. Until midnight tonight ONLY, new members can join HRC for just $20.11 – a $15 discount. We're even extending our offer of a free HRC USB charger for first-time members who join us today. I hope you won't pass up this chance to join HRC for just $20.11. Thank you for your commitment to this fight. – Cathy Nelson, Vice President of Development and Membership, HRC

MIDNIGHT DEADLINE: Don't delay a moment longer. Show the right-wing that you're committed to the fight for equality. Join HRC now. TODAY is the last day for a free USB car charger when you join HRC. Plus, watch our video to see how we're working together for equality. We're looking for just 403 more new HRC members to help start 2011 strong – and there are only hours left before our midnight deadline. Your membership gift right now could decide whether we see new federal assaults on equality and new bans on same-sex couples marrying – or whether millions of couples will have their love recognized for the first time. I hope you'll read this email to find out how and then stand with us. Help us reach our NEW goal of 3,000 new members before MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. Join HRC now. In the wake of the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," the far-right is furious – and re-energized. Here's what's happening: In New Hampshire and Iowa, they're focused on ending marriage equality. In West Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Minnesota, constitutional bans on same-sex marriage could be on the table. And just last week, the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) announced that it would spend $100,000 on ads opposing marriage equality in Rhode Island. In Congress, a host of radical new representatives and senators are ready to follow through on their hateful, anti-LGBT campaign promises. And we've learned from experience that right-wing groups like NOM will stop at nothing – and spare no expense – to block our very real chances of winning marriage equality in New York and Maryland and securing civil unions in Hawaii and Delaware. Meanwhile, we are gearing up to help Washington and Oregon achieve marriage equality in 2012. Our movement must have the strength to overcome extremist lies, support pro-equality champions in Congress, invest in state campaigns, and expose radical hate groups. After years of fighting for equality, I know I'm not the only one that feels the weight of this moment of opportunity – our opponents feel it, too. Their ads and literature are desperate. They sense the cultural shift. They're afraid of our momentum. But they still have a chance to do terrible damage. Stephanie, I believe you know what's at stake. The only question now is: Will you help us fight? ONLY HOURS LEFT before our midnight deadline. Become an HRC member now. NOM can count on their tiny band of massive donors. Right-wing politicians can count on hateful activists with limitless energy. We rely on our members for 85 percent of our funding, not foundations or grants – and I know we can count on you. Thank you for believing in equality, and being willing to fight for it. Just hours to go, Joe Solmonese President P.S. If you've already put a check in the mail or given to HRC through some other means, thank you. If you've yet to contribute, though, please consider making a gift now. Your gift is critical to maintaining our fight against hate and bigotry in all its forms.

Push death penalty abolition across the finish line!

Any day now, Illinois could become the 16th state in the U.S. to outlaw capital punishment and kick off what could be a historic year for death penalty abolition across the country! Tell Governor Pat Quinn to sign the bill that would end the death penalty in Illinois once and for all!

This year, more states than ever before are poised to end the death penalty legislatively! Illinois is the first to step up to the plate and all eyes are watching because abolition is imminent. It is only a governor's signature away, and success there will give us momentum for abolition this year in other states, including Connecticut, Kansas, Maryland, and Montana. But only if we act now...Email the governor of Illinois and ask him to sign the bill for ending the death penalty in Illinois! As states struggle to find cost-saving measures, and as the death penalty’s errors and biases continue to be exposed, more and more states are stepping up to put an end to the inhumane, unjust and costly death penalty system. In Illinois, death penalty abolition has won the support of both the Senate and the House of Representatives. The legislation is now sitting on Governor Pat Quinn's desk and he could decide any day whether to sign or veto the bill. Whether or not you live in Illinois, we need you to speak up now! Email Governor Quinn and ask that he sign the bill to abolish the death penalty in Illinois once and for all! And if you have an extra 5 minutes, please re-enforce your email with a phone call. Say something as simple as: "I support death penalty repeal in Illinois and I want Gov. Quinn to sign the bill!" A short message will go a long way. Call Gov. Quinn's office right now, then let us know how it went: 312-814-2121 Most other countries, and 15 states in this country, have rightly abandoned the barbarism of state executions. With success in Illinois, three U.S. states will have done so in just the past four years. The tide is changing and the trend is clear – the death penalty is on its way out! Add your voice to the growing wave of those demanding an end to capital punishment worldwide.

President Obama: Support marriage equality for all

Mr. President, it's time for you to support marriage equality for all Americans The President has said that his thinking on the issue is "evolving." Help get him over the finish line. Send your message today asking the President to support marriage for all Americans. President Obama has done more for the nation's LGBT community than any other president in history, from hate crimes protections to the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," to hospital visitation rules. This president has proven himself to be an advocate for the LGBT community. He's a fair and just man. That's why we're calling on him today to publicly and vocally support marriage equality for all Americans. Earlier today, the Department of Justice filed a brief appealing two federal court rulings that found the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional. The Administration claims that it has a duty to defend the laws that are on the books. We simply do not agree. At the very least, the Justice Department can and should acknowledge that the law is unconstitutional. All families deserve the recognition and respect of their government. It's time for President Obama to state his support for full, equal marriage. And we want your help in telling him that it's time. Send your message to President Obama now. Because of DOMA, gay and lesbian families with marriage licenses from Iowa, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, California, Massachusetts, and the District of Columbia don't get basic protections like Social Security, pension benefits, and family medical leave – benefits of marriage available to all other married couples. The law is discriminatory and unjust. The President's clear and unequivocal support for marriage equality will be a very powerful message that all Americans should be treated fairly and with respect and dignity. It will also send a direct message to LGBT Americans, young and old, that their nation values them. President Obama has already stated his position on marriage is "evolving." And he's already seen the outpouring of support for his successful call to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Let's help him get over the finish line. Tell President Obama: State your support for full, equal marriage now. Together, we can move this president to speak out for the right to marry freely. I hope you'll take a moment to send your message today. It's time, Joe Solmonese President  Share on Facebook  Share on Twitter This link is specific to you, so please take action before you forward to your friends.
