January 20th- Members of the KWRU participated in a session this morning to create an international committee to preserve democracy in the US. The session was also attended by Corinne Kumar of the Asian Womens Human Rights Council and former congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. The session concluded with a proposal for the committee to send international delegations to the US to monitor our election process and to monitor human rights violations.

Later in the afternoon, the KWRU attended a panel called "From Rights to Reality," organized by the International Network for Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights, on which Galen Tyler sits as a representative of the KWRU. The panel discussion brought representatives of social movements from different parts of the world together to share strategies for using the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
