Letter: Not renewing Westerly Marina lease was a mistake
I am writing in response to the town’s decision not to renew their lease at Westerly Marina on Margin Street. As usual, the town’s greed and lust for tourists’ money is placed above that of a lifelong Westerly citizen, a member of the Westerly Fire Department, and respected member of the community.
How values-based campaigns can unite diverse movements
No cause is an island. Human rights and other movements can better work together by identifying and working to strengthen shared values like social justice, equality and love. Most non-governmental organisations (NGOs) define themselves through the specific issues upon which they work—climate change, human rights, international poverty—while remaining indifferent about the values to which they appeal for public support.
Incarner le récit narratif : comment une nouvelle approche narrative peut révolutionner la défense des droits humains
Une initiative expérimentale et concrète de changement narratif montre comment les organisations de la société civile, même celles dont la taille est limitée, peuvent mettre au point des stratégies narratives basées sur des activités concrètes et permettant d’ouvrir de nouveaux espaces civiques, de contrer les attaques populistes et de potentiellement redéfinir leur sens pour les droits humains.
Be the narrative: How embracing new narratives can revolutionize what it means to do human rights
An experimental, hands-on narrative change initiative shows how even small civil society organizations can wield pragmatic, activity-based narrative strategies to open new civic space, counter populist attacks and potentially redefine what it means to do human rights work.

Brain research suggests emphasizing human rights abuses may perpetuate them
Capitalizing on the brain’s capacity to simulate events, messages of positive behavior – instead of repeated exposure to accounts of abuse – could better lead to the changes we wish to see in the world. Throughout the last few decades, much human rights work has necessarily sought to bring human rights abuses to light. But focusing only on abusive behaviour—without paying attention to its opposite—comes with a cost.
Pourquoi le futur des droits humains doit être placé sous le signe de l’espoir
Communiquer de manière positive n’est pas naturel pour les organisations de défense des droits humains qui sont vouées à dénoncer les violations des droits. Mais plaider en faveur des droits humains passe par la promesse d’un avenir plus radieux. Communiquer de manière positive n’est pas naturel pour le mouvement de défense des droits humains qui est voué à dénoncer les violations des droits.
S’appuyer sur la solidarité pour contrer la montée du populisme
Dans un monde en proie à la division et à la haine grandissante, la communauté des droits humains doit faire face au manque de compassion en s’appuyant sur la solidarité. Foto: Ryan Franco/Unsplash Nous vivons dans des temps extrêmement troublés, de plus en plus sombres, dans mon pays en Inde, ainsi que sur l’ensemble de la scène internationale. Nous voyons un monde meurtri par la haine grandissante, la hausse des inégalités, et la montée d’un nouveau type de leadership.

What is a man? Who is muddles? No, I’ll just revert to my original plan of not saying anything. I pulled a hair from your book, which seemed too intimate; Like rubbing a trace of lipstick from a cheek with my thumb. Baby don’t hurt me, I am the pusher man with a leaf blower on his back and thought oh yess. Have I made this like a squirrel through out the house, kept that day’s worth in the my pocket of my jeans.
The Next Big Change in Environmental Campaigning – the Opportunity of our Shared ‘Compassionate’ Values - Resilience
Our work on Common Cause grew, at outset, from conversations among people working in the environment movement. These conversations shaped my report Weathercocks and Signposts, which was published by WWF-UK in 2008. And that report, in turn, led to wider conversations and collaborations.
