This was ACTUALLY in the Utah Policy Newsletter today … and it’s not even rude. Good job, LaVarr.

Former SLC Mayor Rocky Anderson’s new organization, High Road for Human Rights, has sent out a fundraising packet requesting donations for both the education arm of the organization and the advocacy arm. The materials are colorful and nicely designed, including a letter from Anderson, a brochure describing the work of High Road for Human Rights, and an outline of contribution levels and volunteer opportunities.

The brochure describes human rights atrocities that have occurred over the past century and appeals for support and volunteer help to combat such abuses and demand that elected leaders take action against environmental degradation and prevent the repeat of tragedies such as those in Bosnia, Darfur, Rwanda, and Cambodia. “If we had embraced our democracy and pushed to stop major human rights abuses, we could have prevented many of the atrocities of the past century,” says the brochure. In his letter, Anderson says, “High Road for Human Rights is a unique grassroots movement that will provide its members with specific ways to take action that will result in real change in our country’s response to major human rights abuses, including human trafficking, genocide, climate change, and torture.”
