May 15 marks the anniversary for bloggers unite. This year the aim is to focus on the human rights. I only found this out from the following blogs: Blogger Unite and thanks to Mental Jog for a reminder.
Below is a summary from Blogger Unite:
Bloggers: making a difference
Bloggers Unite is an initiative designed to harness the power of the blogosphere to make the world a better place. By challenging bloggers to blog about a particular social cause on a single day, a single voice can be joined with thousands of others to help make a real positive difference; from raising awareness for cancer, to an effort to better education systems or support 3rd world countries.
Bloggers unite for human rights
While the words might change from country to country and are sometimes taken for granted, human rights represent one of the universally agreed upon ideas — that all people are born with basic rights and freedoms that include life, liberty, and justice. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations.
Bloggers Unite For Human Rights challenges bloggers everywhere to help elevate human rights by drawing attention to the challenges and successes of human rights issues on May 15. What those topics may include — the wrongful imprisonment of journalists covering assemblies, governments that ignore the plight of citizens, and censorship of the Internet. What is important is that on one day, thousands of bloggers unite and share their unified support of human rights everywhere.
So thinking that this is a good idea? Well it is absolutely brilliant move, we have to speak up and stand united for our voice to be heard in this world. So interested in participating?
