[hr-education-na] Requesting Input for HRE Briefing for Congressional Human Rights Caucus

Dear Colleagues and Friends, 

I wanted to let you know that HREA has been honored by being asked to
participate in a panel briefing the Human Rights Caucus of the U.S.
Congress. The Caucus is a bi-partisan group dedicated to educating members
and staff about human rights issues around the world. The briefing on
human rights education will take place on Friday, February 16th.

I would like to use this opportunity to present, among other things, key
issues in relation to HRE in the U.S. I heartily welcome the suggestions
of members of the North American HRE listserv regarding key HRE
developments in the U.S. as well as remaining needs.

I also encourage those of you are based in Washington, DC to consider
attending the briefing and ensuing discussion, which is open to the
public, and will take place from 9:30 - 11:00 a.m. in Room 2200 of the
Rayburn House Office Building.

I look forward to your input, and I trust that you share my enthusiasm
that the topic of human rights education has come to the attention of the
Human Rights Caucus. Thanks to Tina Ramirez, a member of this listserv who
is on the staff of the Rep. Trent Franks, as well as the International
Human Rights Education Consortium, for helping to make this happen.

Warmly, 
Felisa
