At this moment in history the notion of applying a universal human rights framework to the United States seems to be striking a chord with activists around the country. Those working for social justice in the U.S. who have been exposed to this approach are finding that a human rights umbrella offers promising answers to the lingering doubts they have long held about the U.S. and the ability of domestic single-issue movements—often working in isolation—to create long-term change. Full U.S. compliance with universal human rights standards will require the development of a broad-based, democratic movement that is dedicated to the long-term goal of transforming U.S. political culture. The Consolidation of this base and the development of a cadre of human rights activists from these communities will provide the foundation for an expanded effort to build a popular base of support across all sectors of US society.
