US Human Rights

The US Human Rights Working Group is a group of IHRFG members interested in sharing ideas and information about opportunities for grantmakers to support the emerging US human rights movement. While groups have worked for decades to advance this goal, recent years have witnessed a surge of interest in the domestic application of human rights advocacy, fueled by two chief factors: concern over US military and diplomatic strategies that defy international law and growing interest in looking to international norms in legal advocacy around human rights and social justice. The working group seeks to take advantage of the current window of opportunity, helping to strengthen a movement that has the potential to advance the protection of rights in the US and strengthen US accountability to international law.
