24 Hours: Make History at the UN CALL NOW

[Shyla Wild]

On Friday, the United Nations will vote on an historic resolution to protect LGBT rights, sending a message at the highest level to countries that refuse to protect our ability to live and love freely. If it passes, it will commit the U.N. to present concrete steps to stop violence, torture, stigmatisation and abuse against people because of their sexuality or gender identity.

The vote is THIS FRIDAY JUNE 17. Please contact your ministry of foreign affairs, and ask them to Vote YES.

Here's the link to Help you Contact your Foreign minister and a script of what to say:

Canada: 1-800-267-8376

?Hello, my name is _________ and I?m calling about a resolution that will be voted on this week by the United Nations Human Rights council. May I speak with the person handling this issue??

Once you get someone on the line (or if you are directed to a voicemail):

?This Friday the United Nations Human Rights Council will vote on a resolution on human rights violations based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

I am asking Canada to endorse this historic resolution and pursue any diplomatic measures necessary to make sure it is adopted. Because no human being should face violence, torture, stigmatization and abuse, on any grounds.?


To our US friends and members, the site gives no information on the US foreign minister contact info.
