 "56th Anniversary of the United Nations' Universal Declaration   of Human 
 Rights to be Celebrated"  Comite NO NOS VAMOS extends a cordial invitation 
 to join us in celebrating the 56th Anniversary of the signing of the United 
 Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights on Friday- December 10, 2004 
 starting at 5:oo PM in front of the Federal  Courthouse Park - O and Fresno 
 Streets in  Fresno, California.  The signing of the Universal Declaration 
 of Human Rights on December 10, 1948, was a momentous occasion.  
 Representatives of 48 countries came together at the United Nations in 
 Paris to make a profound statement on the value and dignity of human life.  
 After several drafts and much debate, the final version of the Universal 
 Declaration of Human Rights emerged.  It was a list of basic rights that 
 the international community agreed were "inherent" and "equal" for all 
 human beings.  Today, the health care crisis is tearing apart our 
 community, our nation and the world.  Our political leaders are step by 
 step abandoning the poor and the middle class.  People of faith and people 
 of good will need to stand up for our economic human rights: housing, 
 health care, education, and living wage jobs.   Gloria Hernandez stated:   
 "Our purpose is to bring people together and change hearts and educate 
 minds, the Declaration has not been ratified by the United States of 
 America. People need to know that the declaration attempted to stop what is 
 going on in the world today…"… the disregard and contempt for human 
 rights that resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience 
 of mankind, and (create) 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".   Hernandez 
 continues, "People through out the world have learned about the  
 Declaration of Human Rights, yet here in the USA the UN is being used to 
 create a cultural of fear instead of bringing "recognition of the inherent 
 dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human 
 family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world" as 
 mandated by the Declaration.    El Comite NO NOS VAMOS is a grass roots 
 organization that fights for the civil and human rights of immigrants and 
 poor working people.   \n
