May 15 - Bloggers Unite for Human Rights

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations and today - May 15 - thousands of bloggers are sharing their unified support for human rights everywhere.

I feel it's tremendous that we can take the medium of blogging and use it to raise awareness on important and basic issues. Human Rights is extremely basic and rests on the foundation of human beings' respect for one another. To respect each other for what we are - humans. We are all different externally and in our character and beliefs, which makes it so wonderful to be part of the human race, but our essence is exactly the same.

Bloggers Unite for Human Rights

This is not a recipe, but I feel it's something important that all of us who are bloggers can participate in.

Blog Catalog is partnering with Amnesty International for the 2008 Bloggers Unite For Human Rights on May 15th.

Bloggers are asked to post an entry on any Human Rights subject they feel strongly about. See Amnesty International's topic page here for ideas, if required, on what you could write about.

So, if you're a blogger, sign up here today and let the world know how you feel.
