We Can Use Your Help, Wherever You Are!
MCLI is working to develop a Model Reporting Initiative for local jurisdictions -- cities, counties, and states, as we have done successfully in Berkeley and as we are proposing for California.
This requires research and writing and building grassroots ties in many regions in the U.S.
MCLI is prepared to find local people to make such presenations and to send MCLI Board members when requested.
MCLI is also working to identify organizations that may want presentations on the subject of how to integrate UN treaties into the work they do -- Rev. Daniel Buford's work is the best example of the success of this effort to date.
And MCLI is promoting toolkits for (1) local reporting initiatives (based on Berkeley ordinance) and (2) ICESCR call for approval (based on NLG/IC toolkit, developed by Susan Scott, MCLI Board Pres.)
And MCLI needs help providing backup support to grassroots groups to publicize their issues through shadow reports to UN Committees.
MCLI requests your ideas on how best to start a Human Rights Training Institute for grassroots activists, teachers, labor activists, etc.
And this is a moment when it is possible to succeed on a number of these projects that WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
