Conferences and Convenings

USHRN members gather at annual member meetings and regional meetings to network and collaborate on multiple human rights issue areas.  Annual member meetings also provide opportunity for members to inform USHRN's program and advocacy work as well as to review and inform our strategic direction.  One to two regional member meetings are also held each year, which focus on local and regional rights concerns and seek to link local advocacy efforts to national efforts.   On a bi-annual basis USHRN hosts a national human rights conference that brings hundreds of human rights and social justice activists, practitioners, and advocates together to share experiences and success stories, identify areas for collaboration, and reflect on the state of the U.S. human rights movement, including identifying pressing issues and current challenges.
