📎 Personal Note

Please find the Tweets I sent to the United States Senate Committee on Rules & Administration yesterday below and please retweet them and/or copy them and adapt them as your own and/or to do both!

In its preamble and in Article 1, the Declaration unequivocally proclaims the inherent rights of all human beings: “Disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people....All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.”
